TypeScript React Native property 'target' does not exist on type 'string'

I'm making input component in typescript for my mobile app. I'm trying to handle change of the text in text input with useState hook, so I created this: const [password, setPassword] = useState(''); now I have a input component: <TextInput value={password} onChangeText={(e) => setPassword(e.target.value)} />, and I get an error which says: "property 'target' does not exist on type 'string"

onChangeText prop takes as a parameter the input text value, so you don't need to access e.target.value. Just use it like this:

<TextInput value={password} onChangeText={(text) => setPassword(text)} />
