Textarea Autosize

The Textarea Autosize component gives you a textarea HTML element that automatically adjusts its height to match the length of the content within.

Textarea Autosize is a utility component that replaces the native <textarea> HTML.

The height of the Textarea Autosize component automatically adjusts as a response to keyboard inputs and window resizing events.
