This PR converts src/components/form-elements/text-area from JavaScript with Flow to TypeScript.

Changes

  • Converted index.js to index.ts, re-exporting the component and its types
  • Converted TextArea.stories.js to TextArea.stories.tsx
  • Converted __tests__/TextArea.test.js to TextArea.test.tsx
  • Created .js.flow files for backward compatibility

Contract

  • Declared Flow props contract preserved (requiredness, accepted values, defaults, exports)

Testing

  • Ran tests for src/components/form-elements/text-area; all 14 pass
  • yarn lint:ts and flow check pass

Walkthrough

Changes

TextArea component

Layer / File(s) Summary
TextArea contracts and exports
src/components/form-elements/text-area/TextArea.tsx, src/components/form-elements/text-area/TextArea.js.flow, src/components/form-elements/text-area/index.*
Defines TextArea props, state, and error contracts. Exports the component from Flow and TypeScript entry points.
Value, validation, and rendering
src/components/form-elements/text-area/TextArea.*
Synchronizes controlled values, handles native and custom validation, clears custom validity before native fallback checks, forwards maxLength, and renders TextAreaCore through FormInput.
Validation coverage and story typing
src/components/form-elements/text-area/__tests__/TextArea.test.tsx, src/components/form-elements/text-area/TextArea.stories.tsx
Updates validity and instance casts in tests. Adds a string type to the story validator callback.

A rabbit checks each typed field,
Custom errors bloom, then yield.
Native rules now speak more clear,
Length limits travel near.
Tests hop lightly, exports shine,
TextArea grows in typed design.

Inline comments:
In `@src/components/form-elements/text-area/TextArea.tsx`:
- Around line 132-146: In the fallback branch of the TextArea validation flow,
clear the textarea’s custom validity before calling
setErrorFromValidityState(textarea.validity), so native validity—including
required errors—can be evaluated correctly. Apply this change at
src/components/form-elements/text-area/TextArea.tsx lines 132-146 and
src/components/form-elements/text-area/TextArea.js.flow lines 123-136; both
sites require the same direct update.
- Around line 150-183: Update TextArea.tsx lines 150-183 and TextArea.js.flow
lines 141-174: destructure maxLength from props in each wrapper and forward it
as maxLength to TextAreaCore, preserving the existing rendering and validation
behavior.
- Around line 34-35: Align TextAreaProps.validation in TextArea.tsx and
TextArea.js.flow so both declarations return the same synchronous TextAreaError
object shape consumed by the TextArea runtime; remove unsupported string and
Promise result forms rather than adding normalization.

In `@src/components/form-elements/text-area/TextArea.tsx`:
- Around line 9-10: Update the validation callback result type used by TextArea
so code is required as a string in both TypeScript and Flow declarations, while
retaining optional code only on externally injected error types if needed.
Ensure checkValidity can pass error.code to setCustomValidity without allowing
validation results containing only message.
