Maximum Length in React TextArea Component

25 Mar 20242 minutes to read

You can enforce a maximum length limit for the text input in the TextArea using the maxLength property. This property allows to define the maximum number of characters that users can input into the TextArea.

• By setting the maxLength property, you can control the length of text input, preventing users from exceeding a specified character limit.

index.jsx

// Import the TextArea.
import { TextAreaComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';

// To render TextArea.
function App() {
    return (
        <div className='wrap'>
            <TextAreaComponent id="default" placeholder="Enter your comments" maxLength="20"></TextAreaComponent>
        </div>
    );
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />, document.getElementById('input-container'));

index.tsx

// Import the TextArea.
import { TextAreaComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-inputs';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDom from 'react-dom';

// To render TextArea.
function App() {
  
    return (
        <div className='wrap'>
            <TextAreaComponent id="default" placeholder="Enter your comments" maxLength="20"></TextAreaComponent>
        </div>
    );
}
export default App;
ReactDom.render(<App />,document.getElementById('input-container'));

When the user reaches the specified limit, the TextArea prevents further input, ensuring compliance with the defined character limit. This feature helps maintain data integrity and provides users with clear feedback on the allowed input length.
