Textarea
This component version is ready to be used but is still in active development.
The vf-form__textarea
allows a site visitor to enter text on multiple lines.
Nunjucks syntax
Depending on your environment you'll want to use render
or include
. As a rule of thumb: server-side use include
, precompiled browser use render
. If you're using vf-eleventy you should use include
.
Using include
You'll need to pass a context object from your code or Yaml file (exampe), as well as the path to the Nunjucks template. Nunjucks' include
is an abstraction of render
and provides some additional portability.
{% set context fromYourYamlFile %}
- or -
{% set context = {
"component-type": "form",
"text_area_rows": 5,
"text_area_name": "text-area",
"text_label": {
"form__label": "Write Some More details",
"form__label_for": "text-area"
}
}
%}
{% include "../path_to/vf-form__textarea/vf-form__textarea.njk" %}
Using render
This approach is best for bare-bones Nunjucks environments, such as precompiled templates with the Nunjucks slim runtime where include
is not be available.
{% render '@vf-form__textarea', {
"component-type": "form",
"text_area_rows": 5,
"text_area_name": "text-area",
"text_label": {
"form__label": "Write Some More details",
"form__label_for": "text-area"
}
} %}
HTML
<div class="vf-form__item">
<label for="text-area" class="vf-form__label">Write Some More details</label>
<textarea class="vf-form__textarea" id="text-area" name="text-area" rows="5"></textarea>
</div>
Usage
Use the vf-form__textare
when you want the site visitor to enter text on multiple lines or when the information they need to input is not short.
If you are wanting the site visitor to answer multiple questions inside a vf-form__textarea
it is better to split these question up and use multiple vf-form__input
s.
The vf-from__textarea
must be accompanied by a descriptive vf-form__label
.
