2. Open the project you will work on from the Apps screen.
3. Go to the UI Design module.

4. Select the Text Input category from the Elements panel on the left side.

• If you drag it to an empty space, the Text Area element will be added along with a Row element.
• If you drag it into Column, only the Text Area element is added.

You can configure the following settings in the Properties panel:

• Value: Represents the text entered by the user. You can add a static value or dynamically show data from other elements or actions using Symbol Picker.
• Placeholder: The placeholder text that appears before the user logs in (e.g. “Type your text here”).
• Allow Clear: Displays a Delete (X) icon in the right margin for the user to quickly delete text.
• Autosize: Automatically adjusts the height of the Text Area element depending on the length of the text entered by the user.
• Max Length: Sets the maximum number of characters the user can enter (e.g. 200 character limit).
• Show Count: Shows the number of characters entered by the user in real time.
• Formatter: Allows the entered text to be automatically converted to a specific format (e.g. all uppercase, all lowercase).
• Read Only: Makes the text field read only. Users can see the content but cannot edit it.
• Speech To Text: Allows text input through voice commands.

By following this guide, you can use the Text Area element effectively in your application.
