textArea

This component generates a TextArea.

You can optionally pass a store in order to set the value and react to updates automatically.

To enable or disable it or to make it readOnly, just use the well known attributes of HTML.

Possible values to set are( default *) :

• size : small | normal * | large

• resizeBehavior : none | vertical *| horizontal

• placeholder : String | Flow<String>

• disable : Boolean | Flow<Boolean>

• value -> maybe you want to set an initial value instead of a placeholder

• events -> access the DOM events of the underlying HTML element

• element -> basic properties of the textarea html element; use with caution!

textArea(value = dataStore) { placeholder { "My placeholder" } // render a placeholder text for empty textarea resizeBehavior { horizontal } // resize textarea horizontal size { small } // render a smaller textarea }

textArea({ // use the styling parameter background { color { dark } } color { light } radius { "1rem" }}, store = dataStore) { disable(true) // textarea is disabled resizeBehavior { none } // resizing is not possible size { large } // render a large textarea }

textArea { value { dataStore.data } // value depends on value in store disable(true) // editing is disabled, but resizing still works }

// all state management can also be done manually if needed: val someStore = storeOf("some initial text") textArea { value(someStore.data) events { changes.values() handledBy someStore.update } }
