The ValueField component can be used to store a single value on a slot that can be edited from the [[Scene Inspector|inspector]], or with other [[components]] and [[ProtoFlux]]. However, in cases where you want to be able to dynamically reference the value instead of directly referencing it, you may be better off using a [[DynamicValueVariable`1 (Component)|dynamic variable]], and in use cases where you want to easily reference and edit a value within a [[ProtoFlux]] script while still exposing that value to the data model, you may want to use the [[DataModelStore]] node.<!--T:4-->

Usage
The ValueField component can be used to store a single value on a slot that can be edited from the inspector, or with other components and ProtoFlux. However, in cases where you want to be able to dynamically reference the value instead of directly referencing it, you may be better off using a dynamic variable, and in use cases where you want to easily reference and edit a value within a ProtoFlux script while still exposing that value to the data model, you may want to use the DataModelStore node.
Examples
A ValueField<floatQ> being used as the input of a ValueCopy<floatQ>
A ValueField could be used when another component requires an input of an external value.
