for example, by click the button, clear the text input value.

Yes, you can store the value of the click and if its true, set the value of the text input to blank.

import streamlit as st

placeholder = st.empty()

input = placeholder.text_input('text')
click_clear = st.button('clear text input', key=1)
if click_clear:
    input = placeholder.text_input('text', value='', key=1)

This works for me. Does it answer your q?
