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.

Global settingsThemeChanges the theme of the application and any Porsche Design System component. It's possible to choose between forced theme light and dark. It's also possible to use auto, which applies light or dark theme depending on the operating system settings automatically.LightDarkAuto (sync with operating system)DirectionThe dir global attribute in HTML changes the direction of text and other content within an element. It's most often used on the <html> tag to set the entire page's direction, which is crucial for supporting languages that are written from right to left (RTL), such as Arabic and Hebrew. For example, using <html dir="rtl"> makes the entire page display from right to left, adjusting the layout and text flow accordingly.LTR (left-to-right)RTL (right-to-left)Text ZoomTo ensure accessibility and comply with WCAG 2.2 AA standards, it is mandatory for web content to support text resizing up to at least 200% without loss of content or functionality. Using relative units like rem is a best practice for achieving this, as they allow the text to scale uniformly based on the user's browser settings.100%130%150%200%
