        rows: 2,
        events: {
            change({ target }) {
                if (!(target instanceof HTMLTextAreaElement)) {
                    return;
                }

                console.log(target.value);
            },
            click: [
                () => {
                    console.log("You clicked it");
                },
                { once: true },
            ],
        },
    });
