# multiline-text-input-card

This is a simple lovelace card to display a multiline text input field bound on an `input_text` or `var` entity.

However, snarky-snark's `var` [component](https://github.com/snarky-snark/home-assistant-variables/) is recommended to use since Home Assistant's `input_text` is limited to a maximum of only 255 characters. At this point I will not forget to mention that this great component is capable of so much more - have a look at it!

Plus, I borrowed some code and inspiration from [benct's](https://github.com/benct) awesome [Xiaomi Vacuum Card](https://github.com/benct/lovelace-xiaomi-vacuum-card) - many thanks for that one, Ben!

In this example, the min_length and max_length behaviour of the entity will be overwritten, if possible. That means, the allowed text length range can be narrowed down, but of course not increased. The card title is set manually and the save button will not be shown in favour of the enabled autosave function. The clear button will appear on the left with the paste button on the right. Last but not least, the icon of the clear button will be changed.
