# Value.String

## Import

```tsx
import { Value } from '@dnb/eufemia/extensions/forms'
render(<Value.String />)
```

## Description

`Value.String` is a base component for displaying values of the type `string`.

Before using this component, ensure there is not a more specific [value component](/uilib/extensions/forms/Value/components/) available that better suits your needs.

There is a corresponding [Field.String](/uilib/extensions/forms/base-fields/String) component.

```jsx
import { Value } from '@dnb/eufemia/extensions/forms'
render(<Value.String />)
```
