Angular2 maxLength for textarea as variable

To set max letters number for textarea, we do achieve that by writing: <textarea maxLength="50"></textarea>

but, could I do something like below? Is there some way?

import { Component } from '@angular/core';

@Component({
  moduleId: module.id,
  selector: 'app-create-offer-page',
  template: `
    <textarea maxLength="textareaLength"></textarea>
  `
})
export class CreateOfferPageComponent {
  textareaLength: number = 50;
}

I'm asking because that does not work.

Solution

  • You would need [] for Angular to interpret it as binding

     [maxLength]="textareaLength"

    This should work for native validation. Angular2 validators don't currently support dynamic values.
