Based on the following code and description here:
Add Bullets to Each New Line within a textarea
const bullet = "u002a";
const bulletWithSpace = `${bullet} `;
const enter = 13;
const handleInput = (event) => {
const { keyCode, target } = event;
const { selectionStart, value } = target;
if (keyCode === enter) {
//console.log('debug');
target.value = [...value]
.map((c, i) => i === selectionStart - 1
? `n${bulletWithSpace}`
: c
)
.join('');
//console.log(target.value);
target.selectionStart = selectionStart+bulletWithSpace.length;
target.selectionEnd = selectionStart+bulletWithSpace.length;
}
if (value[0] !== bullet) {
target.value = `${bulletWithSpace}${value}`;
}
}
How can this be modified to work in the opposite way?
Instead of adding the target to the first position of each new line. Change the target position to the end.
Note: I replaced the bullet unicode to * for testing
Original code does this:
* text
* new line
Changing the code to do instead:
text *
new line *
* = bullet in my example code
