Textarea
A multi-line text control with focus, invalid, and disabled states.
import { Textarea } from "raft-ui";
<Textarea />disabled wins over data-invalid. A disabled invalid textarea keeps the disabled border and removes the invalid ring because the user cannot edit it.
Place TextareaCounter inside TextareaGroup to position it below the textarea. Pass the current value from your change handler and the intended limit explicitly. Omit native maxLength when the counter should show an over-limit state.
Use field-sizing-content when the textarea should grow with its content. The component still keeps its default minimum height; pair content sizing with a max height for long drafts so the control scrolls instead of pushing the page indefinitely.
Label, description, and error copy come from Field. Textarea stays a pure control while Field associates supporting copy and validation feedback with it.
Keep the summary under 120 characters.
