Auto Resize Textarea When Typing - auto-resize.js

A lightweight yet configurable textarea resize jQuery plugin that dynamically adjusts the visible height of textarea elements while typing.

Great for contact & comment form where the textarea element automatically grows and shrinks to fit its content.

How to use it:

1. Insert the auto-resize.js script after loading the latest jQuery library.

<script src="/path/to/jquery.slim.min.js"></script>
<script src="/path/to/dist/jquery-auto-resize.min.js"></script>

2. Attach the function autoresize to the existing textarea element and the plugin will take care of the rest.

<textarea>
  Type something here
</textarea>
$(function(){
  $('textarea').autoresize();
});

3. Customize the min/max visible height (in lines) of the textarea element.

  • minRows: defaults to 2
  • maxRows: defaults to infinity
$(function(){
  // $('textarea').autoresize(minRows, maxRows);
  $('textarea').autoresize(3, 10);
});
