## Overview

Textarea 08 is a multiline text input component that includes a label, a live character countdown display, and a styled textarea. It enforces a 180-character limit and dynamically shows how many characters remain as the user types, making it ideal for comment boxes, feedback forms, or any input where length constraints need to be communicated clearly.

## States

This component includes conditional states that automatically change its appearance.

| State             | Trigger                                                        | Visual effect                                                                    |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Focused           | User clicks or focuses the textarea input                      | Adds a soft box shadow (spread 3) around the textarea to indicate active focus   |
| Invalid           | Input fails validation (isnt\_valid condition)                 | Border changes to red (rgba(251, 44, 54, 1)) and a red-tinted box shadow appears |
| Disabled          | Input is not clickable (isnt\_clickable condition)             | Opacity of the textarea is reduced to 50%                                        |
| Mobile Breakpoint | Current page width is less than the built-in mobile breakpoint | Font size of the label and character counter text adjusts to 14px                |

<Note>
  These states are handled natively by Bubble and require no additional setup.
  They will work automatically once the component is pasted into your editor.
