Topic: md-textarea-auto - any initialization required?

cdenby pro asked 7 years ago

https://mdbootstrap.com/components/inputs/#textarea says that all we need to do is put this class onto a text area and the resizing should happen. But I'm not seeing that behaviour. My textarea is inside a table>tbody>td, but I don't think that should cause a problem. What else needs to be done to make this happen? Using MDB Pro 4.5.3

I guess I answered this myself by searching through the support questions. This has to be added to the js for the page and the last line has to be called after any dynamically loaded text areas appear. Why is this not in the description page for textarea for mdb??   jQuery.fn.extend({ autoHeight: function () { function autoHeight_(element) { return jQuery(element) .css({ 'height': 'auto', 'overflow-y': 'hidden' }) .height(element.scrollHeight); } return this.each(function() { autoHeight_(this).on('input', function() { autoHeight_(this); }); }); } }); $('textarea').autoHeight();

Thank you for the tip. I've added this to our TODO list so I hope we'll add your code to our docs

This information is still not on the doc page for textarea.

For dynamically added form fields the javascript above is absolutely required or the textarea doesn't render correctly.

It's still on our TODO list
