An iOS text view component that automatically grows in height as the user types, optimized for iOS 8+.
NextGrowingTextView is an iOS UI component that provides a text view which automatically grows in height as the user types, making it ideal for dynamic input fields in apps like messengers or comment sections. It solves the problem of limited text visibility in fixed-height text areas by expanding vertically based on content. The component is optimized for iOS 8 and above, offering full AutoLayout support and easy customization.
iOS developers building apps that require dynamic text input fields, such as messaging applications, social media platforms, or any interface where users type multi-line content.
Developers choose NextGrowingTextView for its simplicity, native integration with AutoLayout, and out-of-the-box auto-growing behavior without the need for manual height calculations. It provides a polished, user-friendly text input experience with minimal configuration.

Automatically expands vertically as text is typed, from a minimum to maximum number of lines, eliminating the need for manual scrolling in fixed-size areas.
Fully supports AutoLayout constraints, making it easy to integrate into existing UI designs without breaking layout systems, as emphasized in the README.
Allows setting of min and max lines, scroll-to-bottom behavior, and scroll indicator flashing through a simple configuration object for tailored behavior.
Provides access to the underlying UITextView for text settings and a UILabel for placeholder customization, enabling deep control without abstraction layers.
Built with Swift 5.5+ and compatible with iOS 9+, ensuring it leverages modern Swift features and recent iOS versions for longevity.
Lacks built-in support for rich text, attachments, or advanced formatting, requiring additional development effort for complex text input needs.
Only compatible with iOS, making it unsuitable for cross-platform applications without separate implementations for other platforms like Android or web.
Projects not using AutoLayout might face integration challenges, as it is optimized for AutoLayout-based UI design and may require adjustments for manual layout.
Continuous height recalculation as text grows could lead to performance issues on older devices or with very long texts, though minimal for typical use.
