Textarea Table of Contents Form The p-textarea component is a form-associated custom element that integrates seamlessly with forms. Leveraging the ElementInternals API, it functions like a native textarea, ensuring compatibility with form behaviors. However, note that browser support for this API is limited.

Controlled In the controlled approach, the p-textarea value is externally managed. While the internal value will be updated automatically, you can use the input, change or blur event to update the external state.

Slots Sometimes it's useful to be able to render markup (e.g. an anchor tag) for label or message. Therefore a named slot can be used. Make sure not to define the corresponding property on the host element when a named slot is used (because a property definition is preferred over a named slot). For named slots only phrasing content is allowed.
