`text` controls allow you to add a simple, single-line text input.
### Example
```php
Kirki::add_field( 'theme_config_id', array(
'type' => 'text',
'settings' => 'my_setting',
'label' => __( 'Text Control', 'textdomain' ),
'section' => 'section_id',
'default' => esc_attr__( 'This is a defualt value', 'textdomain' ),
'priority' => 10,
) );
```
