Unless an explicit height or the `maxRows` property is set, it will never scroll. Example: ```html <iron-autogrow-textarea></iron-autogrow-textarea> ``` Because the `textarea`'s `value` property is not observable, you should use this element's `bind-value` instead for imperative updates. ### Styling The following custom properties and mixins are available for styling: | Custom property | Description | Default | | --- | --- | --- | | `--iron-autogrow-textarea` | Mixin applied to the textarea | `{}` | | `--iron-autogrow-textarea-placeholder` | Mixin applied to the textarea placeholder | `{}` |
