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.

?> Please refer to the section on form control validation to learn how to do client-side validation.

Examples

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.

Labels

Use the label attribute to give the textarea an accessible label. For labels that contain HTML, use the label slot instead.

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

Help Text

Add descriptive help text to a textarea with the help-text attribute. For help texts that contain HTML, use the help-text slot instead.

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>
