To begin, let’s install Chakra UI and any necessary dependencies:

npm install @chakra-ui/react @emotion/react @emotion/styled framer-motion

Once you have Chakra UI installed, you can import the Textarea component into your project and start using it:

import { Textarea } from "@chakra-ui/react";

function MyForm() {
  return (
    <form>
      <Textarea placeholder="Enter your text here" />
    </form>
  );
}

export default MyForm;

In the example above, we’ve created a simple form that includes the Textarea component. By setting the placeholder prop, we can provide a hint or sample text to guide the user. The Textarea component will automatically adjust its height based on the content.

You can further customize the appearance of the Textarea component using the resize, focusBorderColor, and variant props. For example:

<Textarea
  placeholder="Enter your text here"
  resize="vertical"
  focusBorderColor="green.400"
  variant="outline"
/>

In the code snippet above, we’ve set the resize prop to “vertical” to allow the user to resize the textarea vertically. The focusBorderColor prop changes the border color when the textarea is in focus. Lastly, the variant prop is set to “outline” to render an outlined textarea.

The Textarea component also supports all the standard HTML attributes such as name, required, disabled, and maxLength. You can pass these attributes directly to the component for additional functionality.

In conclusion, the Textarea component in Chakra UI is a powerful tool for incorporating text input areas into your web applications. With its flexibility and customization options, you can create user-friendly and visually appealing textareas. Start using the Textarea component in your projects and enhance your user experience now!
