BbTextArea ElementReference

[Nikkoro]

Is there any way to focus this component without writing js? It does not expose ElementRefence

[mathewtaylor]

Yes — no JavaScript needed. BbTextarea exposes both:

<BbTextarea @ref="notes" @bind-Value="text" />
<BbButton OnClick="@(() => notes!.FocusAsync())">Focus</BbButton>

@code {
    private BbTextarea? notes;
}

• FocusAsync() returns a ValueTask and focuses the underlying element.
• Element gives you the ElementReference if you need it for something else.

BbInput and the other text inputs carry the same pair. Sorry this sat unanswered for so long.
