Working with textarea in React

Now let's learn how to work with a multi-line input field textarea. In React, working with it, for convenience, is made similar to working with a text input. Unlike pure JS, in React, textarea does not need a closing tag, and its text should be placed in the value attribute.

See example:

jsxfunction App() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('');
  
  function handleChange(event) {
    setValue(event.target.value);
  }
  
  return <div>
    <textarea value={value} onChange={handleChange} />
    <p>{value}</p>
  </div>;
}

In abbreviated form:

jsxfunction App() {
  const [value, setValue] = useState('');
  
  return <div>
    <textarea value={value} onChange={event => setValue(event.target.value)} />
    <p>{value}</p>
  </div>;
}
