[DEPRECATED] Elastic (autosize) textareas for AngularJS, without jQuery dependency.

Overview:

The Angular Elastic package offers a solution for creating elastic (autosize) textareas for AngularJS applications without a jQuery dependency. By utilizing a hidden textarea to mirror the original textarea, Angular Elastic can dynamically adjust the height of the textarea based on user input, window resizing, and model changes. While this package is deprecated due to the discontinuation of AngularJS support, it was designed to enhance the user experience by providing responsive textareas.

Features:

  • Elastic Textareas: Automatically adjust textarea height based on content.
  • No jQuery Dependency: Built specifically for AngularJS without relying on jQuery.
  • Whitespace Configuration: Option to include whitespace for improved appearance during animation.
  • Event Emissions: Emits an elastic:resize event for custom triggers.

Summary:

The Angular Elastic package, although deprecated, offered a simple and effective solution for creating responsive textareas in AngularJS applications. By automatically adjusting the textarea height based on user input and other events, it aimed to enhance the user experience without the need for jQuery. While no longer maintained, Angular Elastic remains a testament to addressing the challenges of textarea resizing dynamically within an AngularJS context.
