Text area form controls are used to gather potentially lengthy input from a user. Best practice is to use this component as a child of FormGroup
.
Three sizes are supported: 'lg'
(the default), 'md'
and 'sm'
. Use the size
property to set the size.
Set the disabled
property to change the TextArea’s state to disabled. A disabled element is unusable and un-clickable.
Set the readOnly
property to change the TextArea’s state to readOnly. A read-only field cannot be modified. However, a user can tab to it, highlight it, and copy the text from it.
