Textarea / React

When you need user to insert a longer text in your form.

To implement Textarea component into your project you’ll need to add the import:

import Textarea from "@kiwicom/orbit-components/lib/Textarea";

After adding import into your project you can use it simply like:

<Textarea />

Functional specs

The error prop overwrites the help prop, due to higher priority.
The color of the label will turn into cloud shade when the Textarea has some filled value.
ref can be used for example auto-focus the elements immediately after render.

class Component extends React.PureComponent<Props> {

  componentDidMount() {
    this.ref.current && this.ref.current.focus();
  }

  ref: { current: React$ElementRef<*> | null } = React.createRef();

  render() {
    return (
      <Textarea ref={this.ref} />
    )
  }
}
