Measured entry
originui-comp-71
A React textarea with a label cut into the top border. It ships as a shadcn registry component, composes shared Label and Textarea primitives, uses React useId for the label association, and depends on Tailwind theme utilities plus the declared Radix UI package.

What the harness recorded
BARE BUILD
✗ Build failed in 4.13s error during build: [vite:load-fallback] Could not load <sandbox>/src/lib/utils (imported by src/components/ui/label.tsx): ENOENT: no such file or directory, open '<sandbox>/src/lib/utils'
Verdict
A clean, focused choice for shadcn-based forms, with sound label association and dependable layout behavior. It needs a shadcn-style setup: the bare project fails because the Label primitive imports a shared utility module that is not included there.
Use it if
- You want a compact multiline field whose label stays visible before and after entry.
- Your app already uses shadcn conventions, Tailwind theme tokens, and shared form primitives.
- You need a simple labeled textarea that remains stable across narrow and wide layouts.
Skip it if
- You need helper text, validation messaging, a character counter, or autosizing built in.
- Your design system avoids labels that interrupt field borders.
- You want a standalone component with no path aliases, shared utilities, or theme-token setup.
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 |
For a non-shadcn project, add the registry Label and Textarea primitives, the declared Radix UI dependency, Tailwind and the expected theme tokens, an at-sign path alias, and a shared class-name utility at the imported lib path.
