## Blazor TextArea component: An overview

The TextArea component is a new addition to the suite of input controls available in our [Blazor framework](https://www.syncfusion.com/blazor-components/ "Blazor UI components"). It provides a user-friendly way to handle multiline text input and offers a range of features to improve usability and accessibility. This component is beneficial for scenarios where users must input large amounts of text, such as comments, descriptions, or messages.

## Key features

The key features of the Blazor TextArea component are as follows:

### Floating labels

[Floating labels](https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/textarea/floatinglabel?theme=fluent2 "Demo: Floating label functionalities of the Blazor TextArea component") are a modern UI/UX feature that enhances the user experience by providing a clear and intuitive way to understand the input field’s purpose. When the user focuses on the TextArea or starts typing, the placeholder text transforms into a floating label above the field. This ensures the label is always visible, helping users remember their input.

### Resize

Another standout feature of the Blazor TextArea component is its [auto-resizing capability](https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/textarea/resize?theme=fluent2 "Demo: Resize functionalities of the Blazor TextArea component"). It can be resized vertically, horizontally, or in both directions by selecting the corresponding **ResizeMode** option.

### Rows and columns

You can specify the number of [rows and columns](https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/textarea/api?theme=fluent2 "Demo: Specifying rows and columns in Blazor TextArea component"), giving you precise control over the size of the text area. This is particularly useful for forms where you need to fit multiple input fields into a limited space. By defining the rows and columns, you can ensure that your text areas are appropriately sized for the content they are expected to hold.

### Maximum length

Managing text input length is crucial in many apps. The Blazor TextArea component includes a built-in feature to set a [maximum character limit](https://blazor.syncfusion.com/demos/textarea/api?theme=fluent2 "Demo: Setting maximum character limit in Blazor TextArea component"). This feature helps you control the length of the input, ensuring users do not exceed the specified number of characters. It is useful for inputs like descriptions, comments, or any field where text length is restricted.

### Accessibility

The Blazor TextArea component is designed with accessibility in mind. It supports ARIA attributes and keyboard navigation to ensure a smooth experience for all users, including those relying on assistive technologies.

## How to use the Blazor TextArea component?

Getting started with the Blazor TextArea component is quick and easy. You can configure the component’s properties and customize its appearance and behavior according to your requirements. You can learn more about it, in this [documentation](https://blazor.syncfusion.com/documentation/textarea/getting-started-webapp "Getting started with Blazor TextArea component").

### Add the Blazor TextArea component to your app

Once you’ve installed the NuGet packages and configured the basic imports in your app, add the following code in the Blazor component ( **.razor** ) file to add the Blazor TextArea component.

```xml
<SfTextArea Placeholder="Enter your comments" @bind-Value="userInput" RowCount="5" ColumnCount="150" FloatLabelType="FloatLabelType.Auto"></SfTextArea>      
@code {
   private string userInput = string.Empty;
}

```
