Example 1: Basic Material Textarea

Here, we will create very simple example. first we need to import MatInputModule for mat-form-field for textarea material design. so let's update app.module.ts, app.component.ts and app.component.html.

Let's follow step:

src/app/app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
  
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
  
import {MatInputModule} from '@angular/material/input';
  
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    MatInputModule,
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

src/app/app.component.html

<h4>Angular Material Textarea Example</h4>
<mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
    <mat-label>Enter Note:</mat-label>
    <textarea matInput placeholder="Ex. this is example..."></textarea>
</mat-form-field>

Example 2: Material Input Box with Reactive Form

Here, we will create very simple example using reactive form. first we need to import MatInputModule, MatButtonModule, FormsModule and ReactiveFormsModule for mat-form-field for textarea material design. so let's update app.module.ts, app.component.ts and app.component.html.

Let's follow step:

src/app/app.module.ts

import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
  
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { BrowserAnimationsModule } from '@angular/platform-browser/animations';
  
import { FormsModule, ReactiveFormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import {MatButtonModule} from '@angular/material/button';
import {MatInputModule} from '@angular/material/input';
  
@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    AppComponent
  ],
  imports: [
    BrowserModule,
    BrowserAnimationsModule,
    FormsModule,
    ReactiveFormsModule,
    MatButtonModule,
    MatInputModule
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

src/app/app.component.html

<h1>Angular Material Textarea Example - ItSolutionStuff.com</h1>
<form [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="submit()">
  <mat-form-field class="example-full-width">
      <mat-label>Enter Note:</mat-label>
      <textarea matInput placeholder="Ex. this is example..." formControlName="note"></textarea>
 
      <mat-error *ngIf="form.get('note').hasError('required')">
          Email is <strong>required</strong>
      </mat-error>
  </mat-form-field>
  
  <button mat-raised-button color="accent">Submit</button>
</form>

src/app/app.component.ts

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
  
import { FormBuilder, FormGroup, Validators} from '@angular/forms';
  
@Component({
  selector: 'app-root',
  templateUrl: './app.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./app.component.css']
})
export class AppComponent {
  title = 'app-material2';
  
  form: FormGroup = new FormGroup({});
  
  constructor(private fb: FormBuilder) {
  
    this.form = fb.group({
      note: ['', [Validators.required]],
    })
  }
    
  get f(){
    return this.form.controls;
  }
    
  submit(){
    console.log(this.form.value);
  }
}

You can easily run by following command:

ng serve
