}

}

}

Usage

Label example

Adding a label on the left side of the control.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
label: "Description"
}

Class name example

Adding a CSS class to the control's DOM node.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
className: "myClass"
}

Icon example

Adding a "repeat" icon to the left of the control's label.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
icon: "nc-repeat"
}

Roles example

Show the control only to users with admin and designer privileges.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
roles: ["admin", "designer"]
}

Devices examples

It will be rendered on all devices. This value can be omitted since it defaults to "all".

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
devices: "all"
}

Rendering will occur only on desktop.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
devices: "desktop"
}

The display is limited to responsive modes, specifically tablet and mobile.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
devices: "responsive"
}

Disabled examples

Control will be disabled. Normally, here should be your dynamic condition.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
disabled: true
}

Control will be disabled when videoType variable will be "custom". getValue is a getter function that allows us to retrieve the value of controls by their id. "videoType" is the id of the "select" control below.

const getToolbarContols = ({ getValue }) => {
const videoType = getValue("videoType");

return [
{
id: "videoType",
type: "select",
choices: [
{ title: "Youtube", value: "youtube" },
{ title: "Custom", value: "custom" }
]
},
{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
disabled: videoType === "custom"
}
];
};

Display examples

In this example, with display: "block", the label will be rendered on the first row and the control on the second.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
display: "block"
}

Placeholder example

Adding the placeholder text for the control.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
placeholder: "Start typing here..."
}

Helper examples

The helper object contains a content property with the value "help text", which will be displayed as additional guidance or information for the user.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
helper: {
content: "help text"
}
}

When the helper object contains a position property with the value "top-start", it indicates that the helper text will be displayed at the top left corner of the icon.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
helper: {
content: "help text",
position: "top-start"
}
}

States examples

Allows the control to work in normal and hover states.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
states: ["normal", "hover"]
}

Allows the control to work in normal, hover and active states.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
states: ["normal", "hover", "active"]
}

Config values for lines example

Specifies the number of lines for the textarea component. This determines the visible height of the textarea input field.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
config: {
lines: 3
}
}

Config size example

The size property is set to "medium", indicating that the input field will be rendered with medium dimensions.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
config: {
size: "medium"
}
}

Default value examples

In this example, the textarea control that has the value "Default text" by default.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
default: {
value: "Default text"
}
}

CSS examples

Change the content of the .brz-text::after element with CSS using custom values from a textarea control.

{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
style: ({ value }) => {
return {
"{{WRAPPER}} .brz-text::after": {
content: value.value
}
}
}
}

Usage in HTML example

In the example below, we use the textarea output value to determine the content for the label in the Text element.

import { Brizy } from "@brizy/core";
import React, { JSX } from "react";

interface Props {
description: string;
}

const Text = (props: Props): JSX.Element => {
const { description } = props;

return (
<div className="brz-text">
<span>{description}</span>
</div>
);
};

Brizy.registerComponent({
id: "ThirdParty.Text",
component: { editor: Text, view: Text },
title: "My Text",
category: "custom",
options: (props) => {
return [
{
selector: ".brz-text",
toolbar: [
{
id: "toolbarCurrentElement",
type: "popover",
config: {
icon: "nc-text",
title: "Text"
},
devices: "desktop",
options: [
{
id: "description",
type: "textarea",
devices: "desktop"
}
]
}
]
}
];
}
});
