# Textarea

A textarea is very similar to a [text input](/fig/interactive-runbooks-2/components/input.md) except uses a `$` rather than a `:`

`$[identifier: placeholder ]{ defaultvalue }`

### Examples

```
Commit Message
$[commit: Commit Message]{}

Git Commit History
$[log: Commit History]{ [ git reflog ] sh  }

Heroku Apps as JSON
$[heroku_apps: Heroku Apps as JSON]{ [ heroku apps --json ] sh  }  


**Commit MSG**: {{commit}}
**First Line of Git Reflog**: 
{{log.split("\n")[0]}}

**1st Heroku App Name**: {{ JSON.parse(heroku_apps)[0]["name"] }}
```
