<TextField label="standard..." />
```

```jsx

```

  {/* Leading and trailing icons can be used.*/}

## Textareas

```jsx
<div>
  <TextField
    textarea
    label="textarea..."
    rows={8}
    maxLength={20}
    characterCount
    resizeable
    helpText={{
      persistent: true,
      validationMsg: true,
      children: 'The field is required'
    }}
  />
</div>
```

<TextField disabled label="Disabled..." />
