HTML
<div class="xsh-field" style="width:100%;max-width:500px">
<label for="xsh-demo-description" class="xsh-label">Description</label>
<textarea class="xsh-textarea" id="xsh-demo-description" rows="4" maxlength="500" placeholder="Describe your project and what it will accomplish...">
</textarea>
<small class="xsh-help">Maximum 500 characters.</small>
</div>Installation & markup
Include the local stylesheet and script once on the page, then place the component inside a data-xsh-ui root. The example above works without a build system.
<link rel="stylesheet" href="/dist/xshna-ui.css">
<div data-xsh-ui>
<!-- Add the HTML example above -->
</div>
<script defer src="/dist/xshna-ui.js"></script>Component API
Public classes, attributes and hooks used by this example. Keep the xsh- prefix intact.
| Identifier | Contract |
|---|---|
xsh-textarea | Used by the example markup and component styles or behavior. |
xsh-field | Used by the example markup and component styles or behavior. |
xsh-label | Used by the example markup and component styles or behavior. |
xsh-help | Used by the example markup and component styles or behavior. |
Accessibility & keyboard
Native textarea supports selection, typing, multiline keyboard input and assistive technology labels.
Implementation note. Use textareas for descriptions; use inputs for single-line values.
Interaction contract
Behavioral components use the shared delegated runtime; visual-only primitives rely on semantic HTML and CSS. Runtime controls emit bubbling xsh:* CustomEvents; bind application handlers to those events when server persistence, API data or navigation is required.
