textareaClass() |
Apply to native <textarea>. |
Source: components/ui/textarea.ts
/**
* Textarea: styled native `<textarea>`. Tier-1 class helper. Real
* multi-line input: form submission, autosize via `field-sizing:
* content`, and native validation all work.
*
* shadcn parity:
* Textarea → textareaClass()
*
* Pair with `<label class=${labelClass()} for="...">` and wrap in
* `<div class=${fieldClass()}>` for the canonical field rhythm.
*
* Design tokens used: --input, --background, --muted-foreground, --ring,
* --destructive.
*
* A11y (required for accessible output):
* LABEL IT. A `<label class=${labelClass()} for="<the textarea's id">` linked
* by the `for` / `id` pair is the whole requirement. The `placeholder` in the
* old example was doing that job and cannot: it vanishes as soon as the user
* types, and it is not reliably exposed as a name.
* Point `aria-describedby` at a hint or a character counter that EXISTS on the
* page, and on a validation failure set `aria-invalid="true"` plus an
* `aria-describedby` error element so the reason is announced with the field.
* If you show a live character count, put it in an `aria-live="polite"`
* region, otherwise the number updates silently for a screen reader user.
* Leave the textarea RESIZABLE. The class autosizes via `field-sizing:
* content`, which is fine, but do not add `resize-none` on top: a user who
* needs more room to read their own text has no other way to get it (WCAG
* 1.4.4-adjacent).
*
* @example
* ```html
* <div class=${fieldClass()}>
* <label class=${labelClass()} for="message">Message</label>
* <textarea class=${textareaClass()} name="message" id="message" rows="4"
* aria-describedby="message-hint"></textarea>
* <p class=${hintClass()} id="message-hint">Markdown is supported.</p>
* </div>
* ```
