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)

Look at this topic https://stackoverflow.com/questions/56471973/how-do-i-create-a-multiline-textfield-in-swiftui — Asperi, Nov 05 '19 at 06:59
Thanks. Is it the only option for now? There is still no simpler solution in SwiftUI? — mallow, Nov 05 '19 at 07:00

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

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