# BindInputField

2\_Bindings

It can be useful sometimes to save a string from an input field, for example the Player Name. Let’s see how the BindInputField bindings works. 

Select the PlayerNameInputField in the scene:

Now, on this object you should find the BindInputField component:&#x20;

Play the game and enter a random name in the input field at the bottom of the screen. &#x20;

Now stop the game and play again. You can see that the name persisted. In this example, the string variable: example\_string\_playerName is saved. Depending on your case, you can decide to save it or not.&#x20;
