react-input-autosize

What is react-input-autosize?

The react-input-autosize package is a React component that automatically adjusts the width of the input field to fit the content typed by the user. This is particularly useful for tags input and other dynamic text inputs where the size of the content can change.

What are react-input-autosize's main functionalities?

Autosizing input field

This feature allows the input field to automatically resize based on the input content. The width of the input will grow or shrink as the user types or deletes content.

{"import AutosizeInput from 'react-input-autosize';\n\nfunction MyComponent() {\n  const [value, setValue] = useState('');\n\n  return (\n    <AutosizeInput\n      value={value}\n      onChange={(e) => setValue(e.target.value)}\n    />\n  );\n}"}

Demo & Examples

Live demo: jedwatson.github.io/react-input-autosize

To run the examples locally, run:

npm install
gulp dev

Then open localhost:8000 in a browser. This will also watch for file changes and rebuild the examples (includes live reload).

To just build the examples without the dev server or watch tasks, instead run:

gulp build-examples

Installation

The easiest way to use React-Input-Autosize is to install it from NPM and include it in your own React build process (using Browserify, etc).

You can also use the standalone build by including dist/AutosizeInput.js in your page. If you use this, make sure you have already included React and Underscore. (they must be available through a browserify-style require() call, standalone support is coming soon)

npm install react-input-autosize --save

Usage

React-Input-Autosize generates an input field, wrapped in a <div> tag so it can detect the size of its value. Otherwise it behaves very similarly to a standard React input.

var AutosizeInput = require('react-input-autosize');

<AutosizeInput
	name="form-field-name"
	value={inputValue}
	onChange={function(event) {
		// event.target.value contains the new value
	}}
/>
