tui-textarea

Generates pixel-precise ASCII TUI Textarea components with TUI_RENDER, COMPONENT_SPEC, PENCIL_SPEC, and PENCIL_BATCH_DESIGN outputs for Pencil MCP drawing workflows. Use for terminal UI or text-based interface textareas.

Purpose

Produce an ASCII Text UI (TUI) representation of Textarea.
Always output layout attributes (top/left/width/height, spacing, colors, typography, zIndex).
Always output Pencil MCP–ready specs and a batch_design plan (≤25 operations per call).

Workflow

Parse input — Read the input model JSON (widthCols, grid, props, state, style, typography, layout, hotkeys).
Calculate layout — Convert column/row positions to pixel coordinates using the grid (cellWidthPx=8, cellHeightPx=16).
Render TUI_RENDER — Build the monospace ASCII art with box-drawing characters, respecting widthCols.
Build COMPONENT_SPEC — Emit the JSON spec with bbox, style, typography, state, and hotkeys.
Build PENCIL_SPEC — Emit the canvas and component list for Pencil MCP.
Plan PENCIL_BATCH_DESIGN — Emit batch_design calls (max 25 ops per call) to create the design in Pencil.
Validate — Verify bbox dimensions in COMPONENT_SPEC match the TUI_RENDER grid; confirm batch ops stay within the 25-op limit.

Input Model (Recommended)

{
  "widthCols": 70,
  "grid": { "cellWidthPx": 8, "cellHeightPx": 16 },
  "props": {},
  "modelValue": null,
  "state": { "focused": false, "disabled": false, "loading": false, "error": null },
  "style": {
    "fillColor": "#ffffff",
    "textColor": "#111111",
    "strokeColor": "#e5e7eb",
    "strokeThickness": 1,
    "cornerRadius": 12
  },
  "typography": { "fontFamily": "Inter", "fontSize": 14, "fontWeight": 400, "lineHeight": 20 },
  "layout": { "paddingPx": 16, "gapPx": 8 },
  "hotkeys": []
}

U(cmpText,{x:40,y:56,width:310,height:20,textColor:"#111111",fontFamily:"Inter",fontSize:14,fontWeight:600})

Rendering Rules (Component-Level)

Follow the shared rules from tui-front-ui:

No TAB characters.
Do not exceed widthCols.
Provide a header row, body area, and minimal hotkeys if interactive.
disabled=true must suppress interaction hints.
loading=true must show a stable placeholder.
error!=null must be printed in a single line footer (truncated to width).

Examples (Must include all output blocks)
