Create a textarea input control for entry of unstructured text values.
Parameters
id : str
-
An input id.
label : TagChild
-
An input label.
value : str = ''
-
Initial value.
width : Optional[str] = None
-
The CSS width, e.g., ‘400px’, or ‘100%’.
height : Optional[str] = None
-
The CSS height, e.g., ‘400px’, or ‘100%’.
cols : Optional[int] = None
-
Value of the visible character columns of the input, e.g., 80. This argument will only take effect if there is not a CSS width rule defined for this element; such a rule could come from the width argument of this function or from a containing page layout such as page_fluid.
rows : Optional[int] = None
-
The value of the visible character rows of the input, e.g., 6. If the height argument is specified, height will take precedence in the browser’s rendering.
placeholder : Optional[str] = None
-
A hint as to what can be entered into the control.
resize : Optional[Literal[‘none’, ‘both’, ‘horizontal’, ‘vertical’]] = None
-
Which directions the textarea box can be resized. Can be one of “both”, “none”, “vertical”, and “horizontal”. The default,
None
, will use the client browser’s default setting for resizing textareas. autoresize : bool = False
-
If True, then the textarea will automatically resize the height to fit the input text.
autocomplete : Optional[str] = None
-
Whether to enable browser autocompletion of the text input (default is “off”). If
None
, then it will use the browser’s default behavior. Other possible values include “on”, “name”, “username”, and “email”. See Mozilla’s autocomplete documentation for more. spellcheck : Optional[Literal[‘true’, ‘false’]] = None
-
Whether to enable browser spell checking of the text input (default is
None
). If None, then it will use the browser’s default behavior.
Returns
: Tag
-
A UI element
Notes
