Textarea

[component-header:sl-textarea]

Textareas collect data from the user and allow multiple lines of text.

<sl-textarea></sl-textarea>

?> This component doesn't work with standard forms. Use <sl-form> instead.

Examples

Labels

Use the label attribute to give the textarea an accessible label.

<sl-textarea label="Comments"></sl-textarea>

Help Text

Add descriptive help text to a textarea with the help-text slot.

<sl-textarea label="Feedback">
  <div slot="help-text">Please tell us what you think.</div>
</sl-textarea>

Rows

Use the rows attribute to change the number of text rows that get shown.

<sl-textarea rows="2"></sl-textarea>

Placeholders

Use the placeholder attribute to add a placeholder.

<sl-textarea placeholder="Type something"></sl-textarea>

Disabled

Use the disabled attribute to disable an input.

<sl-textarea placeholder="Textarea" disabled></sl-textarea>

Validation

Show a valid or invalid state by setting the valid and invalid attributes, respectively. Help text can be used to provide feedback for validation and will be styled accordingly.

<sl-textarea label="Valid" valid>
  <div slot="help-text">This is a valid textarea.</div>
</sl-textarea>

<br>

<sl-textarea label="Invalid" invalid>
  <div slot="help-text">This is an invalid textarea.</div>
</sl-textarea>

Prevent Resizing

By default, textareas can be resized vertically by the user. To prevent resizing, set the resize attribute to none.

<sl-textarea resize="none"></sl-textarea>

Expand with Content

Textareas will automatically resize to expand to fit their content when resize is set to auto.

<sl-textarea resize="auto"></sl-textarea>
