Usage Guide

1. Import the Component

Import the component into your React or Next.js page:

import { Textarea } from "@/components/ui/textarea";

2. Implementation Example

Render the component and customize its behavior by passing props:

import { Textarea } from "@/components/ui/textarea";

export default function Example() {
  return (
    <div className="w-full flex items-center justify-center p-8">
      <Textarea
        error="example"
        label="example"
        helperText="example"
      />
    </div>
  );
}
Performance Notes
  • Uses CSS hardware acceleration via GPU transform-binds.
  • Damped interpolation minimizes paint-redraw flashes.
  • Tree-shakable import: only compiles elements requested.
Accessibility Notes
  • Full keyboard focus-ring navigation support (`Tab`/`Shift+Tab`).
  • ARIA roles mapped correctly for assistive screen readers.
  • Respects `prefers-reduced-motion` system toggles.
