Summary

Fixes #3958. Remove the unintended resize: vertical declaration from TextInput's grow modifier. Full-width sizing and TextArea's own resize settings are preserved.

Where Should the Reviewer Start?

modules/react/text-input/lib/TextInput.tsx. A standalone grow story exercises the prop directly; the existing FormField grow example sets the width through the field instead.

Testing Manually

Open Text Input → Standalone Grow and Grow, then Text Area → Grow and Resize Constraints. Inputs should fill their containers without resizing; TextArea should retain its default or explicit resize setting.

Validated Chromium, Firefox and WebKit. Current Firefox did not reproduce the originally reported visible grip; Chromium and WebKit did expose the unwanted computed resize: vertical before this change.

The new standalone Cypress regression fails before the fix. After the fix: 25 TextInput/TextArea component tests including axe and direct <TextArea grow /> coverage, 83 relevant unit tests, source/spec/story/Cypress type checks and scoped ESLint pass.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added a standalone grow-enabled text input example labeled “Street Address.” The field fills the width of its container.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Grow-enabled text inputs no longer allow vertical resizing.
    • Text areas retain their default ability to resize in both directions when grow is enabled. Resize-constrained text areas remain vertically resizable only.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

When grow is enabled, TextInput no longer sets vertical resizing. A standalone grow story is added. Component tests check accessibility, width, and resize behavior for TextInput and TextArea.

Changes

TextInput grow behavior

Layer / File(s) Summary
Update TextInput grow behavior
modules/react/text-input/lib/TextInput.tsx, modules/react/text-input/stories/examples/StandaloneGrow.tsx, modules/react/text-input/stories/TextInput.stories.ts
The grow modifier no longer sets resize: vertical. A standalone grow example and story are added, with a label connected to the input by a unique ID.
Test grow and resize behavior
cypress/component/TextInput.spec.tsx, cypress/component/TextArea.spec.tsx
Tests check accessibility for the grow stories. TextInput tests also check that resizing is disabled and the input width matches its parent. TextArea tests check both resizing for Grow and vertical resizing for ResizeConstraints.

Test TextArea's own grow prop with its default resize.

The Grow story sets grow on FormField, not TextArea. The PR changes the shared textInputStencil grow modifier, which TextArea also uses. A regression in TextArea's own grow and default-resize combination could pass the new assertions. The direct TextInput test does not exercise that combination.

Suggested fix
 import {Grow} from '../../modules/react/text-area/stories/examples/Grow';
 import {Placeholder} from '../../modules/react/text-area/stories/examples/Placeholder';
 import {ResizeConstraints} from '../../modules/react/text-area/stories/examples/ResizeConstraints';
+import {TextArea} from '@workday/canvas-kit-react/text-area';
 
 const getTextArea = () => {
   return cy.get(`textarea`);
 };
 
 describe('Text Area', () => {
+  context(`given TextArea's own 'grow' prop is enabled`, () => {
+    beforeEach(() => {
+      cy.mount(<TextArea grow />);
+    });
+
+    it('should preserve the default resize behavior', () => {
+      getTextArea().should('have.css', 'resize', 'both');
+    });
+  });
