DevExtreme Vue - Overview

The TextArea is a widget that enables a user to enter and edit a multi-line text.

View Demo

The following code adds a simple TextArea with a placeholder to your page.

  • <template>
  • <DxTextArea placeholder="Type a text here..."/>
  • </template>
  •  
  • <script>
  • import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
  • import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
  •  
  • import { DxTextArea } from 'devextreme-vue/text-area';
  •  
  • export default {
  • components: {
  • DxTextArea
  • }
  • }
  • </script>

By default, the TextArea checks the entered text for spelling errors. To disable this feature, assign false to the spellcheck option.

  • <template>
  • <DxTextArea :spellcheck="false"/>
  • </template>
  •  
  • <script>
  • import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
  • import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
  •  
  • import { DxTextArea } from 'devextreme-vue/text-area';
  •  
  • export default {
  • components: {
  • DxTextArea
  • }
  • }
  • </script>

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.

  • <template>
  • <DxTextArea
  • :read-only="true"
  • value="The text that should not be edited"
  • />
  • </template>
  •  
  • <script>
  • import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.common.css';
  • import 'devextreme/dist/css/dx.light.css';
  •  
  • import { DxTextArea } from 'devextreme-vue/text-area';
  •  
  • export default {
  • components: {
  • DxTextArea
  • }
  • }
  • </script>
