react-textarea-autosize v8.0.0 Release Notes

Release Date: 2020-05-23 // almost 4 years ago

  • Major Changes

    • 📦 The package has been rewritten in TypeScript so type definitions are now included in the package itself. There is no need to install separate types from the DefinitelyTyped.
    • 📦 At the same time the package internals have been rewritten to use React's hooks API. This means that the peer dependency requirement for React version had to be changed to ^16.8.0.
    • 🚚 You can now use ref prop to get access to the underlaying textarea element as React.forwardRef is being used now. The support for innerRef has been completely removed.
    • useCacheForDOMMeasurements prop has been renamed to cacheMeasurements.
    • onHeightChange callback no longer receives the second argument. It was the component's instance (its this), but as the component is now implemented using hooks there no longer is any instance that could be given to a consumer like that.
    • ✂ Removed handling props.style.maxHeight and props.style.minHeight values. If you need to control those boundaries you should use maxRows and minRows props respectively.

    Minor Changes

    • ⚡️ The height is being set now directly on the underlaying textarea element and not caused by updating internal state and this triggering React's rerender. This shouldn't make for any observable difference for consumers of this package.
