# Input group: Textarea

> `<InputGroupTextarea />` grows with its content up to 16rem, then scrolls. The height eases between lines instead of jumping. A `block-end` addon becomes a toolbar under it, and buttons at its edges get the same inset as the corner they sit in.

Example: https://hextaui.com/docs/input-group/examples/textarea
Component docs: https://hextaui.com/docs/input-group.md

## Add this example

```bash
npx shadcn@latest add https://hextaui.com/r/input-group-textarea.json
```

This adds `components/examples/input-group/textarea.tsx` with the Input group component and the HextaUI theme tokens.
