Solution Kit
In a React application, "displaying the length of input text" refers to displaying the number of characters that have been typed into an input field.
The length of input text can be shown in a React application in a number of ways:
- Input validation: The user can be told if their input meets the specified length for a particular field by viewing the length of the input.
- Character limit: By showing the length of the input, the user can see if they have entered more characters than are permitted in a given field.
- Progress indicator: The user can be informed of their progress in finishing a form or other input-based task by showing the length of the input.
- Instant feedback: By showing the input length in real-time, users can receive immediate feedback on their input and learn from any mistakes they may have made.
- Showing how many options are selected in a drop-down menu with several selections.
Here is how you can display the length of the input text in React:

I hope you found this useful. I have added the link to dependent libraries, version information in the following sections.
I found this code snippet by searching for 'how can i update paragraph tag in react when input field is changed' in kandi. You can try any such use case!
Environment Tested
I tested this solution in the following versions. Be mindful of changes when working with other versions.
- The solution is created in Visual Studio Code 1.73.1.
- The solution is tested on node v18.12.1 and npm v8.19.2.
- React version-18.2.0.
