# field.multiline

Longer free text over several lines: bios, messages, notes

Component: [`<Field>`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/components/field.md) · Renders: `<textarea>` · Profile: [UI](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/ui.md)

## Example

```tsx
<Field intent="field.multiline" id="multiline" name="multiline" />
```

## Choosing between neighbours

Find the row that describes your element, and use the intent on the right.

| If it is for… | Use |
|---|---|
| Longer free text over several lines: bios, messages, notes | `field.multiline` (this page) |
| More than one line (rather than [`field.text`](https://www.prongs.dev/docs/intents/field/text.md)) | `field.multiline` (this page) |

## Connections

Declared in the registry, both directions. Where an intent is used in your own code is something check and the gallery see; this site has no app code.

## For registry authors

**Starter intents.** These are the intents `prongs add` puts in your registry, shown in this site’s theme. Yours are your own `registry.ts`: rename, restyle and add to them, and see them with `prongs add gallery`.

What this intent is built from and its entry in `components/prongs/registry.ts`. You only need this to change how it looks or to add an intent like it.

How field.multiline resolves, and its definition

Each layer adds to the one before it; a later class wins over an earlier one that sets the same thing.
