GOV-TEXTAREA Documentation

This macro generates an <textarea> and <label>.

Variables

label
hint
value
error
rows
maxlength

Descriptions of variables

Name Description
name sets the name of the input
id sets the id of the input, and the for of the label
label sets the text of the label
hint sets hint text within the label
value sets the value of the input
error sets the error message
rows sets the rows of the textarea

With hint, error and maxlength if the values are empty, then they are not displayed in the render.

Rows will default to 8.

Using with express

You will need to expose the views to the nunjucks config, an example is below.

const appViews = [path.join(__dirname, '/app/views/'),
                  path.join(__dirname, '/node_modules/govuk-elements-nunjucks/components/'),
                  path.join(__dirname, '/lib/')]

const nunjucksAppEnv = nunjucks.configure(appViews, {
  autoescape: true,
  express: app,
  noCache: true,
  watch: true
})

Example in use

Include the nunjucks macro and render it like so:

{% from 'gov-textarea/macro.njk' import govTextarea %}

{{ govTextarea('example-name', 'example-id', 'Example label') }}
