TextArea

The TextArea component can be used as a multi-line plain-text editing control to enter free-form text, such as a comment on a form. The component uses a fallback FormFieldMessages context if it wasn't wrapped in a FormField.

OverviewPropertiesUsageChangelog3.14.0

Changes to TextArea. The full components changelog also lists package-wide and cross-cutting entries.

3.10.1​

Updates​

  • Fixed an issue where the name prop was not forwarded to the underlying <textarea> element, causing TextArea to be excluded from native HTML form submissions. (APPDEV-19187)

3.10.0​

Updates​

Forms​

  • Added onFocus and onBlur props to TextInput, TextArea, NumberInputV2, PasswordInput, SearchInput, Checkbox, Radio, RadioGroup, Switch, ToggleButtonGroup. TextInput, NumberInputV2, PasswordInput, SearchInput, RadioGroup, and ToggleButtonGroup only fire the blur when focus leaves the entire component, not on internal transitions (e.g. tabbing from the input to a suffix button).
