import { TextArea } from '@uhg-abyss/mobile';
() => {
const form = useForm();
return (
<FormProvider state={form}>
<TextArea
model="text-area-sandbox"

hintText="Sandbox Hint Text"
maxLength={500}

Set the isDisabled prop to true to disable the text area so users cannot enter a value.

MaxLength

Use the maxLength prop to set the maximum length of characters accepted as input. The amount of characters remaining will appear in the bottom right. The default value of maxLength is 500.
