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.

class Component extends React.PureComponent<Props> {
  componentDidMount() {
    this.ref.current && this.ref.current.focus();
  }
  ref: { current: React.ElementRef<*> | null } = React.createRef();
  render() {
    return <Textarea ref={this.ref} />;
  }
}
