I am using TextArea of AntDesign, when I input, say, 2-3 paragraphs in it, and hit enter to display it in a row, but it displays everything in one paragraph. I want the exact formatting that I did while entering in the text area. How to do that?
I am simply using Text area -
<TextArea
rows={2}
style={{ width: "100%" }}
defaultValue={this.state.value}
onClick={this.handleValue}
/>
and to display on right side-
<div>{this.state.value}</div>
EXPECTED

You can use the pre
tag for displaying the content as entered.
I have created following example using vanilla JS
. You can implement the same in react
.
<textarea id="tarea" rows="2" style="width: 100%" onclick="handleValue()">
</textarea>
<p id="display"></p>
<script>
function handleValue() {
var tarea = document.getElementById('tarea');
var disp = document.getElementById('display');
disp.innerHTML = '<pre>' + tarea.value + '</pre>';
}
</script>
For eg:
<pre>{this.state.value}</pre>
should do the trick.
Hope this helps! Cheers.
