TextInput multiline on web should expand when entering long text

Open raphaelmerx opened this issue 3 years ago • 1 comments

Current behaviour

A multiline TextInput element expands to adapt to text content on mobile, but it doesn't on web. Instead a scrollbar appears inside the textarea

Expected behaviour

TextInput expands on web to adapt to text length, like it does on mobile. This is expected under the material guidelines: https://material.io/archive/guidelines/components/text-fields.html#text-fields-field-types

What have you tried

Adapting the height through onContentSizeChange, however the textarea never shrinks in size when deleting text:

const [height, setHeight] = useState(undefined)
    <TextInput
	multiline={true}
	onContentSizeChange={(event) => {
		setHeight(event.nativeEvent.contentSize.height)
	}}
	style={{ height }} 
    />

Your Environment

software version
ios or android web
react-native 0.64.3
react-native-paper 4.11.2
node v14.18.1
npm or yarn yarn
expo sdk 43

Couldn't find version numbers for the following packages in the issue:

  • react-native-vector-icons
  • npm
  • yarn
  • expo

Can you update the issue to include version numbers for those packages? The version numbers must match the format 1.2.3.

The versions mentioned in the issue for the following packages differ from the latest versions on npm:

  • react-native (found: 0.64.3, latest: 0.67.4)

Can you verify that the issue still exists after upgrading to the latest versions of these packages?

I am experiencing this issue with the following versions (adding the missing version numbers from above):

software version
ios or android web
react-native 0.70.5
react-native-paper 5.1.3
node 16.19.0
npm or yarn yarn
npm 9.2.0
yarn 1.22.19
expo sdk 47.0.13
react-native-vector-icons does not appear in package.json or yarn.lock

Would love to see this fixed for consistency in my app across web and mobile!
