Nothing annoys users more than vague error messages after submission. This React textarea pattern shows validation errors immediately using aria-invalid on the field and text-destructive for error text. Built with shadcn/ui Label and Textarea components with proper ARIA attributes, the clear error messaging tells users exactly what is wrong—perfect for minimum length validation, content requirements, format validation, or any textarea where specific validation feedback prevents repeated submission failures and improves form completion rates.
Feedback must be at least 10 characters.
