+To change attributes of all components of one type in an app, use [defaultOptions](/Documentation/ApiReference/UI_Components/dxTextBox/Methods/#defaultOptionsrule). To change attributes of multiple components, use directives.
+
+When working with [custom directives](https://angular.dev/guide/directives/attribute-directives), follow these steps:
+
+1. Import required components in the `.directive.ts` file. For example, `import { DxButtonComponent } from 'devextreme-angular';`.
+2. Define the components in the constructor. Use the [`@Host`](https://angular.dev/api/core/Host?tab=usage-notes) decorator to access the instance of hosting components. Use the [`@Optional`](https://angular.dev/api/core/Optional?tab=usage-notes) decorator when specifying multiple components.
+3. Use the `ngOnViewInit()` hook to ensure component initialization.
+
+The following code snippet creates a directive that changes the style and switches "apple" to "banana" in the TextArea and TextBox components:
+
+    <!-- tab: replace.directive.ts -->
+    import { Directive, Host, Optional } from '@angular/core';
+    import { DxTextBoxComponent, DxTextAreaComponent } from 'devextreme-angular';
+    import { DxTextAreaTypes } from 'devextreme-angular/ui/text-area';
+    import { DxTextBoxTypes } from 'devextreme-angular/ui/text-box';
+
+    @Directive({
+        selector: '[appReplace]',
+        standalone: true,
+    })
+    export class ReplaceDirective {
+        component: any;
+
+        constructor(
+            @Optional() @Host() textBox: DxTextBoxComponent,
+            @Optional() @Host() textArea: DxTextAreaComponent
+        ) {
+            this.component = textBox || textArea;
+        }
+
+        replaceApple(e: DxTextAreaTypes.FocusOutEvent & DxTextBoxTypes.FocusOutEvent) {
+            const value = e.component.option('value');
+            e.component.option('value', value?.replace(/apple/g, 'banana'));
+        }  
+
+        ngAfterViewInit() {
+            this.component.instance.option('stylingMode', 'filled');
+            this.component.instance.on('focusOut', this.replaceApple);
+        }
+
+        ngOnDestroy() {
+            this.component.instance.off('focusOut', this.replaceApple);
+        }
