Topic: Preserve line breaks in textarea
Hi,
I want to have a textarea as an input (like the contact form examples). but preserve any line breaks the user has entered.
My form control is defined like this:
<textarea type="text" data-error="Please enter a value" data-success=" " id="form-contact-message" [formControl]="messageForm" class="form-control md-textarea" mdbInputDirective rows="3"></textarea>
Can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks,
Steve
Dear Steve,
Did you try to achieve this in this way?
.ts:
.html:
For me, everything is working fine.
Best Regards,
Damian
import { Component, ViewChild, OnInit, ElementRef } from '@angular/core';
@Component({
selector:'app-root',
templateUrl:'./app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.scss'],
})
export class AppComponent implements OnInit {
@ViewChild('textarea') textarea: ElementRef;
send() {
let value=this.textarea.nativeElement.value;
console.log(value);
}
}
<!--Basic textarea--> <div class="md-form"> <textarea #textarea type="text"id="form7"class="md-textarea form-control"mdbInputDirective></textarea> <labelfor="form7">Basic textarea</label> </div> <button mdbBtn color="primary" (click)="send()">Button</button>

Dear Steve, What do you mean by "preserve any line breaks the user has entered." ? Do you want to send the text from the textarea field with every line break which user has entered? Best Regards, Damiansteveweller pro commented 6 years ago
Hi Damien, Yes, that's exact;y right. If the user enters: A B C D I want to preserve those linebreaks when I get the text. At the moment I either get 'A B C D' or worse 'ABCD'. Thanks, Steve
