Who is it for?: Form builders collecting paragraphs (bios, notes, messages).
When should I use it?: For free text longer than one line.
When should I pick something else?: For single-line values — use Input instead.

Use it

Simple

import { Label, Textarea } from "@zedtech/zedkit-ui";
<Label htmlFor="bio">Bio</Label>
<Textarea id="bio" placeholder="A few words." />

Kit not installed yet?

This ships on npm only; there is no copy-source brick for it.

You get

Every component from one import, with the theme tokens included. Updates arrive with your package manager.

You need

React 19 and Tailwind CSS 4, for example a Next.js app created with the Tailwind option.

Install

Terminal

pnpm add @zedtech/zedkit-ui @fontsource-variable/inter @fontsource-variable/space-grotesk

Load the styles

Tailwind does not scan node_modules, so the @source line points it at the kit's class names. The path is relative to this file.

src/app/globals.cssReplace the contents

@import "tailwindcss";
@import "@zedtech/zedkit-ui/styles.css";
@source "../../node_modules/@zedtech/zedkit-ui/src/**/*.{ts,tsx}";
@source not "../../node_modules/@zedtech/zedkit-ui/src/**/*.test.*";

Pick a look

Set data-identity="glass" on <html> so the finished app matches the site. Fresh app: replace src/app/layout.tsx. Existing app: merge, and keep ThemeProvider and other providers.

src/app/layout.tsxReplace the contents

import "./globals.css";
import "./fonts";

export default function RootLayout({ children }: { children: React.ReactNode }) {
  return (
    <html lang="en" data-identity="glass">
      <body>{children}</body>
    </html>
  );
}

Load the fonts
The Glass look uses Inter and Space Grotesk; these imports self-host them.
src/app/fonts.tsCreate the file
```
import "@fontsource-variable/inter";
import "@fontsource-variable/space-grotesk";
```

Import and render

src/app/page.tsxReplace the contents

import { Label, Textarea } from "@zedtech/zedkit-ui";

export default function Page() {
  return (
    <main className="px-page-gutter py-section-sm">
      <Label htmlFor="bio">Bio</Label>
      <Textarea id="bio" placeholder="A few words." />
    </main>
  );
}
