Textarea

Textarea adds styling, key filtering and autoResize functionality to standard textarea element.


import Textarea from 'primevue/textarea';

Textarea is used with the v-model property for two-way value binding.


<Textarea v-model="value" rows="5" cols="30" />

Textarea integrates seamlessly with the PrimeVue Forms library.


<Form v-slot="$form" :resolver="resolver" :initialValues="initialValues" @submit="onFormSubmit" class="flex flex-col gap-4">
    <div class="flex flex-col gap-1">
        <Textarea name="address" rows="5" cols="30" style="resize: none" />
        <Message v-if="$form.address?.invalid" severity="error" size="small" variant="simple">{{ $form.address.error?.message }}</Message>
    </div>
    <Button type="submit" severity="secondary" label="Submit" />
</Form>

When autoResize is enabled, textarea grows instead of displaying a scrollbar.


<Textarea v-model="value" autoResize rows="5" cols="30" />

Specify the variant property as filled to display the component with a higher visual emphasis than the default outlined style.


<Textarea v-model="value" variant="filled" rows="5" cols="30" />

A floating label appears on top of the input field when focused. Visit FloatLabel documentation for more information.


<FloatLabel>
    <Textarea id="over_label" v-model="value1" rows="5" cols="30" style="resize: none" />
    <label for="over_label">Over Label</label>
</FloatLabel>

<FloatLabel variant="in">
    <Textarea id="over_label" v-model="value2" rows="5" cols="30" style="resize: none" />
    <label for="in_label">In Label</label>
</FloatLabel>

<FloatLabel variant="on">
    <Textarea id="over_label" v-model="value3" rows="5" cols="30" style="resize: none" />
    <label for="on_label">On Label</label>
</FloatLabel>

IftaLabel is used to create infield top aligned labels. Visit IftaLabel documentation for more information.


<IftaLabel>
    <Textarea id="description" v-model="value" rows="5" cols="30" style="resize: none" />
    <label for="description">Description</label>
</IftaLabel>

Textarea provides small and large sizes as alternatives to the base.


<Textarea v-model="value1" size="small" placeholder="Small" rows="3" />
<Textarea v-model="value2" placeholder="Normal" rows="3" />
<Textarea v-model="value3" size="large" placeholder="Large" rows="3" />

Invalid state is displayed using the invalid prop to indicate a failed validation. You can use this style when integrating with form validation libraries.


<Textarea v-model="value" rows="5" cols="30" :invalid="!value" style="resize: none" placeholder="Address" />

When disabled is present, the element cannot be edited and focused.


<Textarea v-model="value" rows="5" cols="30" disabled />

Screen Reader

Textarea component renders a native textarea element that implicitly includes any passed prop. Value to describe the component can either be provided via label tag combined with id prop or using aria-labelledby, aria-label props.


<label for="address1">Address 1</label>
<Textarea id="address1" />

<span id="address2">Address 2</span>
<Textarea aria-labelledby="address2" />

<Textarea aria-label="Address Details"/>
