DevExtreme React - Overview
The TextArea is a widget that enables a user to enter and edit a multi-line text.
The following code adds a simple TextArea with a placeholder to your page.
- import React from 'react';
- import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
- import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
- import { TextArea } from 'devextreme-react/text-area';
- class App extends React.Component {
- render() {
- return (
- <TextArea placeholder="Type a text here..."/>
- );
- }
- }
- export default App;
By default, the TextArea checks the entered text for spelling errors. To disable this feature, assign false to the spellcheck option.
- import React from 'react';
- import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
- import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
- import { TextArea } from 'devextreme-react/text-area';
- class App extends React.Component {
- render() {
- return (
- <TextArea spellcheck={false}/>
- );
- }
- }
- export default App;
If an end user should not be able to edit the text in the TextArea, assign true to the readOnly option. In this case, make sure to set the value option too.
- import React from 'react';
- import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
- import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
- import { TextArea } from 'devextreme-react/text-area';
- class App extends React.Component {
- render() {
- return (
- <TextArea
- readOnly={true}
- value="The text that should not be edited"
- />
- );
- }
- }
- export default App;
