Textarea

Usage

Get this component from a saved library export or the connected CLI. The imports below refer to local files installed in your app.

Import styles/components.css, then styles/theme.css once. Wrap your app in ThemeScope from components/ui/utils so typography, focus and overlays share the theme. The installation guide covers runtime dependencies and React/Next.js setup.

import { Textarea } from './components/ui/textarea';

<Textarea aria-label="Project description" placeholder="Tell us about your project…"/>

Design system

This component consumes your semantic colors, spacing, typography and shape tokens. Import the compiled styles and your theme once as described in Export.

Behavior and accessibility

• Provide meaningful labels for interactive controls.
• Connect action callbacks to your application logic.
• Verify keyboard navigation and contrast in your application.

Status: experimental during early access. Sample previews do not send emails, process payments or upload files to a service.

Source and props

export function Textarea({
  className,
  rows = 4,
  id,
  name,
  value,
  defaultValue,
  disabled,
  required,
  readOnly,
  autoFocus,
  form,
  ...props
}: ComponentProps<"textarea">) {
  const controlProps = {
    id,
    name,
    value,
    defaultValue,
    disabled,
    required,
    readOnly,
