# Textarea

Read the complete [LICENSE](https://snowui.dev/LICENSE) for the installed version before use.

Enter multi-line descriptions, notes, or longer content with native form attributes and field feedback.

We are building SnowUI components into interfaces people can use directly in AI conversations. Conversational UI is still in development; this page demonstrates website usage. Supported chat platforms and component versions will be announced after verification. Generating and using SnowUI interfaces inside AI conversations is completely free. It is not a project, uses no project or developer-seat quota, and requires no SnowUI registration, activation, or paid proof.

Package: `@snowui-design-system/components`. Import: `import { Textarea } from '@snowui-design-system/components';`. Source fingerprint: `b1d81ebb7de3ce9843de806749d451f6c61c56d512e804fdb45f4f5a6f4f7292`.

## Usage choices

Use Textarea for multiple lines of text; use Input for one line. Compose it with Field for a label, help, and error. Do not use a read-only input as a layout substitute for ordinary display text.

- bind:value synchronizes text. defaultValue is only a fallback when value is undefined. Restore the bound value on form reset.
- resize controls allowed directions. readonly, disabled, or resize="none" removes the resize handle. name participates in form submission.
