## README

## textarea

[![npm version](https://badge.fury.io/js/textarea.svg)](https://www.npmjs.com/package/textarea)

One textarea plugin to rule them all.

Ace editor and CodeMirror are over the top. I just want tabs and block indentation.

And auto-expansion to fix the contents (height-wise).

Your `<textarea>` should specify `min-height` and `max-height`, but not `height`.


## Alternatives

* [react-textarea-autosize](https://github.com/andreypopp/react-textarea-autosize.git), [demo](http://andreypopp.github.io/react-textarea-autosize/): apparently only handles newlines, so if your lines wrap, the height will be wrong.
* [react-textarea](https://github.com/zippyui/react-textarea): derived from react-textarea-autosize
* [autosize](http://www.jacklmoore.com/autosize/): Looks nice, actually, but used to be jQuery?
* [react-autosize-textarea](https://github.com/buildo/react-autosize-textarea): This one seems to work.
* [angular2-autosize](https://github.com/stevepapa/angular2-autosize): super simple (3 lines of logic!), but works nicely at first glance.
