Example: "­Edit­Text" component for "Age Check"

APL offers a component called "EditText" which allows you to enter plain text. I do not see it being used often but it may have it's use cases. See the details here: https://developer.amazon.com/en-US/docs/alexa/alexa-presentation-language/apl-edittext.html

This example shows a simple age check scenario. You can also see that it is possible to process the user input within APL without a roundtrip to your skill backend.

EditText requires APL 1.4 or later.
