<Note>This component is returned by [`useForm()`](../../forms/use-form).</Note>

Use `<TextArea />` when you need a multi-line string field (e.g. descriptions, notes, or comments). For single-line text, use [`<TextInput />`](./text-input) instead. The component binds to a `string` field in your [form schema](../../forms/form-schema).

## Example

```tsx form-text-area-dialog.tsx theme={"system"}
import React from "react"
import {Forms, useForm, showToast} from "attio/client"

export function FormTextAreaDialog() {
  const {Form, SubmitButton, TextArea, TextInput} = useForm(
    {
      title: Forms.string(),
      description: Forms.string(),
    },
    {
      title: "",
      description: "",
    },
  )
  return (
    <Form
      onSubmit={async (values) => {
        await showToast({
          title: "Form submitted",
          variant: "success",
          text: JSON.stringify(values),
        })
      }}
    >
      <TextInput label="Title" name="title" />
      <TextArea
        label="Description"
        name="description"
        placeholder="Enter a description..."
        resizable
      />
      <SubmitButton label="Submit" />
    </Form>
  )
}
```
