Form Using TextArea field

A TextArea is a larger text input field. It allows the user to enter multiple lines of text. We can add a TextArea in React using the <textarea> tag but to change its value we have to use the useState hook. 

Example: This example implements a form using the TextArea input field.

Javascript




// Filename  - App.js
 
import React, { useState } from "react";
 
export default function App() {
    const [value, setValue] = useState("");
 
    return (
        <div>
            <h2>w3wiki - ReactJs Form</h2>
            <form>
                <label>
                    Input Field:-
                    <textarea
                        value={value}
                        onChange={(e) => {
                            setValue(e.value);
                        }}
                    />
                </label>
            </form>
        </div>
    );
}
