Stimulus Textarea Autogrow

Getting started

A Stimulus controller for autogrowing textarea.

Installation

$ yarn add stimulus-textarea-autogrow

And use it in your JS file:

import { Application } from "stimulus"
import TextareaAutogrow from "stimulus-textarea-autogrow"

const application = Application.start()
application.register("textarea-autogrow", TextareaAutogrow)

Usage

In your view:

<textarea data-controller="textarea-autogrow">
Very long text here.
</textarea>

<textarea
  data-controller="textarea-autogrow"
  data-textarea-autogrow-resize-debounce-delay="500"
>
Very long text here.
</textarea>

Configuration

The height is calculated on window resize to match the content height.

Attribute	Default	Description	Optional
data-textarea-autogrow-resize-debounce-delay	100	Delay before autogrow on resize in milliseconds (0 to disable).	✅

Extending Controller

You can use inheritance to extend the functionality of any Stimulus components.

import TextareaAutogrow from "stimulus-textarea-autogrow"

export default class extends TextareaAutogrow {
  connect() {
    super.connect()
    console.log("Do what you cant here.")
  }
}

These controllers will automatically have access to targets defined in the parent class.

If you override the connect, disconnect or any other methods from the parent, you'll want to call super.method() to make sure the parent functionality is executed.
