# Textareas

Textareas are HTML `<textarea>` elements of the form

```html theme={null}
<textarea></textarea>
```

## Binding a Textarea to a Process Variable

A textarea input can be bound to a process variable using the `cam-variable-type` and
`cam-variable-name` directives:

```html theme={null}
<textarea cam-variable-name="CUSTOMER_ADDRESS"
          cam-variable-type="String">
</textarea>
```

In the example above, the textarea is bound to the variable named `CUSTOMER_ADDRESS` of type
`String`.

## Supported Variable Types for Textareas

The textarea supports the same variable types as the single line text input `<input type="text"></input>`. See the section on [Supported Variable Types](/reference/forms/embedded-forms/controls/inputs#supported-variable-types-for-text-inputs) for details.
