Textarea

Examples

Basic usage

States


Sizes


Allow the user to resize

By default, Textarea is not resizeable. However, you can use overrides as in the example above to supply minimum and maximum dimensions for the component. This will allow users to resize the Textarea within the boundaries you define.

AutoFocus

Textarea accepts an autoFocus prop. For information on its behaviour, check Input's autoFocus example.

AutoSize

Focus and ref


Stateful (uncontrolled) usage

Debounce


As with many of our components, there is also an uncontrolled version, StatefulTextarea, which manages its own state.
