Usage
usage.tsx
import EditableAutosizeDemo from "@/registry/examples/editable-autosize-demo";export default function Example() { return <EditableAutosizeDemo />;}- Use when users need to edit short or multiline text inline without navigating to a separate form.
- Use for editable labels, descriptions, notes, titles, or other content whose input size should follow its text.
- Use when preserving line breaks in the read-only preview is important.
- Use when explicit Save and Cancel actions are preferable to saving on blur.
Examples
Standalone autosizing editor
Render the registry example directly in a page or settings panel.
standalone-autosizing-editor.tsx
import EditableAutosizeDemo from "@/registry/examples/editable-autosize-demo";export default function SettingsField() { return <EditableAutosizeDemo />;}Autosizing editor in a section
Place the example inside a semantic section with supporting content.
autosizing-editor-in-a-section.tsx
import EditableAutosizeDemo from "@/registry/examples/editable-autosize-demo";export default function ProfileDescription() { return ( <section aria-labelledby="description-heading"> <h2 id="description-heading">Description</h2> <EditableAutosizeDemo /> </section> );}Autosizing editor in a responsive layout
Use the example as one field within a responsive page layout.
autosizing-editor-in-a-responsive-layout.tsx
import EditableAutosizeDemo from "@/registry/examples/editable-autosize-demo";export default function ContentSettings() { return ( <main className="grid gap-6 md:grid-cols-2"> <div> <h1>Content settings</h1> <p>Edit the text inline and save or cancel your changes.</p> </div> <EditableAutosizeDemo /> </main> );}Accessibility
- The example uses a visible EditableLabel to identify the editable control.
- Save and Cancel are rendered as actual Button components, providing native button semantics and keyboard activation.
- The preview preserves line breaks with the whitespace-pre-wrap class, keeping multiline content readable.
- Ensure the surrounding page provides sufficient color contrast and visible focus styles for the imported editable and button components.
- The Save and Cancel labels clearly communicate the available actions; do not replace them with icon-only controls without accessible names.
