No Preview

Sorry, but you either have no stories or none are selected somehow.

If the problem persists, check the browser console, or the terminal you've run Storybook from.

The component failed to render properly, likely due to a configuration issue in Storybook. Here are some common causes and how you can address them:

  1. Missing Context/Providers: You can use decorators to supply specific contexts or providers, which are sometimes necessary for components to render correctly. For detailed instructions on using decorators, please visit the Decorators documentation.
  2. Misconfigured Webpack or Vite: Verify that Storybook picks up all necessary settings for loaders, plugins, and other relevant parameters. You can find step-by-step guides for configuring Webpack or Vite with Storybook.
  3. Missing Environment Variables: Your Storybook may require specific environment variables to function as intended. You can set up custom environment variables as outlined in the Environment Variables documentation.

Textarea

Customize the native <textarea> with CSS that changes the element’s initial appearance.

Custom textarea elements need only the class .form-control to trigger the custom styles.

Hintus textus elare volare cantare hendrerit in vulputate velit esse molestie consequat, vel illum dolore eu feugiat nulla facilisis.

<label class="form-label" for="152b7268-cce0-43d7-b931-41a57370f9a0--default">Label</label>

Make sure the @swisspost/design-system-styles package is already present in your project or follow the installation guidelines.

To import all Design System styles:

@use '@swisspost/design-system-styles/index.scss';

To import only the styles required for this component:

@use '@swisspost/design-system-styles/basics.scss';
@use '@swisspost/design-system-styles/components/forms.scss';

// required if you use floating-labels
@use '@swisspost/design-system-styles/components/floating-label.scss';
// required if you use validation feedbacks
@use '@swisspost/design-system-styles/components/form-feedback.scss';

The following examples show the different characteristics of the component. These can differ in the type of visualization, the HTML structure, as well as when, how and why they are displayed.

Wrap a pair of <textarea> and <label> elements in a .form-floating container to enable floating labels.
But note that the <textarea> element must come first, so we can ensure the correct styles.

We're deprecating the regular and medium sizes for text input, textarea and select.

This will make it easier to select the appropriate size variant: small for internal applications, large for external applications.
.form-control-rg and .form-control-md are deprecated and will be removed in the next major version.

The size can be changed by simply adding one of four classes:

  • Small: .form-control-sm
  • Regular: .form-control-rg
  • Medium: default or .form-control-md
  • Large: .form-control-lg

Regular and medium size classes are not available on floating-label elements

Simply add the classes .is-valid or .is-invalid to the <textarea> element to show it in the expected state.
When the component has been validated, don't forget to add a <p className="valid-feedback">...</p> or <p className="invalid-feedback">...</p> element after the textarea element to explain what went wrong. This enables the user to correct the mistake.

Eraro okazis!
