Textarea

A "Textarea" component is a user interface element used to capture and display multi-line textual content entered by users. It provides a larger input area compared to a single-line text input.

Use Cases:

✅ Multi-line input: Use the "Textarea" component when you need users to provide text input that spans multiple lines, such as writing comments, messages, or descriptions.

✅ Formatting and editing: "Textarea" components are suitable for cases where users need to format or edit text, such as composing emails, writing articles, or entering code snippets.

✅ User-generated content: Utilize "Textarea" components for collecting user-generated content, allowing users to share their thoughts, opinions, or creative expressions.

✅ Long-form data entry: "Textarea" components are effective for scenarios requiring users to provide detailed information, such as filling out forms with paragraphs of text.

Not to Use Cases:

❌ Single-line input: Avoid using "Textarea" components for single-line input fields, such as names, emails, or short keywords. Instead, use single-line text inputs for such cases.

❌ Excessive space consumption: Do not use "Textarea" components when a single-line text input or other input methods can capture the required information more efficiently and without taking up too much space.
