# Textarea

This field type renders a multi-line text field.

### Parameters

Parameters are inherited from the [Text](/developer-docs/framework/fields/text.md) field type, with an extra one:

* **editor** - set to `true` to enable the rich text editor or provide an array of [TinyMCE buttons](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/wp_editor/).

### Example

The code below renders a required multi-line text field with the `custom_field` name, "Custom field" label and "Custom text" placeholder. The maximum allowed text length is 100 characters.

```php
echo ( new HivePress\Fields\Textarea(
	[
		'name'        => 'custom_field',
		'label'       => 'Custom field',
		'placeholder' => 'Custom text',
		'max_length'  => 100,
		'required'    => true,
	]
) )->render();
```
