Auto-resizing textarea
This feature allows the textarea to automatically resize between a minimum and maximum number of rows based on the content.
<TextareaAutosize minRows={3} maxRows={6} />Minimum and maximum height
You can set a minimum and maximum height for the textarea, which will be respected during auto-resizing.
<TextareaAutosize style={{ minHeight: '100px', maxHeight: '300px' }} />Controlled component
The component can be used as a controlled component, with its value being managed by the state of the enclosing component.
<TextareaAutosize value={this.state.text} onChange={this.handleChange} />Uncontrolled component
The component can also be used as an uncontrolled component, where it maintains its own state.
<TextareaAutosize defaultValue='Initial content' />Ref forwarding
React refs can be forwarded to the underlying textarea element, allowing for direct DOM access if needed.
const ref = React.createRef();
<TextareaAutosize ref={ref} />This is a standalone script that can be applied to any textarea element to make it automatically adjust its height. It is not specifically designed for React and requires manual integration.
