Textarea
Installation
Usage
Labels and descriptions are connected to the native textarea, preserving external aria-describedby references without duplicate IDs. Conditional descriptions are linked only while rendered. Autoresize responds to value and width changes, includes border-box sizing, and restores the previous inline height when removed.
Import Textarea and bind its value. Add autoresize for message composers that grow with their content.
Examples
Basic
With label and description
Disabled
Autoresizing composer
The textarea grows as you type. Its children snippet holds a character count and submit button inside the shared field border.
