Vue Textarea - Flowbite

Use the textarea component as a multi-line text field input and use it inside form elements available in multiple sizes, styles, and variants


Textarea example

Get started with the default example of a textarea component below.

vue
<template>
  <fwb-textarea
    v-model="message"
    :rows="4"
    label="Your message"
    placeholder="Write your message..."
  />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { FwbTextarea } from 'flowbite-vue'

const message = ref('')
</script>
<template>
  <fwb-textarea
    v-model="message"
    :rows="4"
    label="Your message"
    placeholder="Write your message..."
  />
</template>

<script setup>
import { ref } from 'vue'
import { FwbTextarea } from 'flowbite-vue'

const message = ref('')
</script>

Comment box

Most often the textarea component is used as the main text field input element in comment sections. Use this example to also apply a helper text and buttons below the textarea itself.
