Measured entry
originui-comp-61
A compact labeled textarea with persistent helper copy and a polite live region. It ships as a shadcn registry component composed from React, Origin UI Label and Textarea primitives, Radix UI for the label, Tailwind theme classes, and the shared class-name utility.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 3.38s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/components/ui/textarea.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A sound, restrained form-field composition with clean responsive behavior and no observed accessibility findings. It is not standalone: it needs a shadcn-style setup, and the live-region treatment is unnecessary unless the helper copy can change.
Use it if
- You need a conventional comment field with visible guidance beneath it.
- Your app already uses shadcn-style aliases, theme tokens, and shared form primitives.
- You want the label association generated safely for repeated instances.
Skip it if
- You need validation messaging, character counts, or controlled form behavior out of the box.
- Your design system does not use Tailwind utility classes and shadcn theme tokens.
- Your helper copy is purely static and you do not want it exposed as a live region.
Install
| Declared dependencies | radix-ui |
|---|---|
| Missing on install | none |
| Bare install | fails once the shadcn-style helpers are removed, so it needs that setup |
| Provider | no provider required in the harness |
In a non-shadcn project, add React and Radix UI, copy or recreate the Label and Textarea primitives, provide the shared cn class-name helper and matching import aliases, and map the Tailwind utilities and semantic color tokens to your styling system.
