Usage#
The following segment provides instructions for designers and developers regarding the appropriate utilization of this
component in various situations.
Do:
Use in forms when users need to enter and edit an amount of text that’s longer than a single line.
Keep the label text short and descriptive (one or two words).
Place validation text right below the Textarea box.
Respect the min-height.
Mark required fields with a red asterisk to improve the usability of forms.
Use the Pure variant (without label) only if the context clearly describes the purpose.
Don't:
Don't use when text entry is expected to be short. Use an input instead to avoid confusing users.
Don't overwhelm users with too many Textareas on a single page. Stick to no more than two Textareas.
