What is the equivalent of textarea in swiftui?

Question

What is the equivalent of textarea in SwiftUI? Where I could have multiple lines of text input. And specify size of this area? HTML example is here: https://www.w3schools.com/tags/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_textarea I have searched a lot without any luck.

I have tried to use TextField in SwiftUI, but if user writes long text, the text goes out of the screen.

TextField("notes")
.background(Color.yellow)
.lineLimit(3)

Thanks. Is it the only option for now? There is still no simpler solution in SwiftUI? — mallow

The equivalent of TextArea in SwiftUI is TextEditor. Apple introduced it in mid 2020

var body: some View {
    TextEditor(text: $profileText)
        .foregroundColor(.black)
}
