FAQ
How to focus
Get a ref to inner textarea:
<TextareaAutosize inputRef={tag => (this.textarea = tag)} />
And then call a focus on that ref:
this.textarea.focus();
To autofocus:
<TextareaAutosize autoFocus />
(all HTML attributes are passed to inner textarea)
How to test it with jest and react-test-renderer if you need ref
Because jest provides polyfills for DOM
objects by requiring jsdom and
react-test-renderer doesn't
provide refs for rendered components out of the box (calling ref callbacks with
null
), you need to supply a mocked ref in your tests in you need it for your tests.
You can do it like this (more can be read
here):
const tree = renderer
.create(<TextareaAutosize />, {
createNodeMock: () => document.createElement('textarea'),
})
.toJSON();
