## Functional specs
- The `error` prop overwrites the `help` prop, due to higher priority.
- The color of the label will turn into cloud shade when the Textarea has some filled value.
- `ref` can be used for example auto-focus the elements immediately after render.
```jsx
class Component extends React.PureComponent {
componentDidMount() {
this.ref.current && this.ref.current.focus();
}
ref: { current: React.ElementRef<*> | null } = React.createRef();
render() {
return ;
}
}
```
