How would I populate an array from text in a <textarea> input?
My end goal is to take a list of names and then insert it into an array to perform some operations. The names would be separated by lines, like this:
bob
tim
sally
and then added to the array. To be honest, I don't know where to start other than adding the <textarea> and creating a blank array. I was reading other posts, but they were in jQuery or some other language that I don't know yet. My understanding is that I have to split the content somehow?

If you want to remove surounding spaces use
mapandtrim. If you want to remove empty strings usefilter:var array = textareaElement.value.split('\n').map(e => e.trim()).filter(e => e);. – ibrahim mahrir Commented Jul 16, 2017 at 0:07

Reset to default 5It's pretty straightforward:
var textarea = document.querySelector('textarea#names');
var textareaValue = textarea.value; // 'bob\ntim\nsally';
var arr = textareValue.split('\n');
split() takes string and cuts it into an array every given character (or string).
\n is new line character.
Edit: Answer to questions asked in ment below:
var names = [];
var textarea = document.querySelector('textarea#names');
function saveNames() {
names = textarea.value.split('\n');
}
textarea.addEventListener('blur', saveNames, false);
// or this:
// textarea.addEventListener('keyup', saveNames, false);
You use events. You can use blur event or even keyup event. Basically you listen for (events) something to happen (like textarea loose focus or user press keyboard button), and then do something (read textarea value and save names to array).
This is of course pure js, but if you want to use jquery, then you need to go to jquery reference and see how to use events with jquery.
Let's assume you have a textarea and after typing each name you hit return. This should get you started:
<textarea id="textToArray" style="width:300px; height:120px;"></textarea>
<button onclick="toArray()">To Array</button>
<div id="arrayOutput"><div/>
<script type="text/javascript">
function toArray( ) {
var textAreaElement = document.getElementById('textToArray');
var namesArray = textAreaElement.value.trim().split('\n');
console.log( namesArray );
document.getElementById('arrayOutput').innerText = JSON.stringify(namesArray);
}
</script>
If your words are s Here you go:
<textarea name="example" id="example" cols="30" rows="10">
bob
tim
sally
</textarea>
const textareaContent = document.getElementById('example').value.split('\n');
demo

try this:
<html>
<body>
<textarea id="textArea"></textarea>
<button onclick="textToArray()">to array</button>
<!--show array result-->
<p id="result"></p>
</body>
</html>
<script>
function textToArray() {
//assign value of textarea to mytext
var myText = document.getElementById("textArea").value;
//split mytext by nextline = "\n"
var myArray = myText.split("\n");
//to check the result
var result = '';
for(i=0;i<myArray.length;i++)
{
result += myArray[i]+"<br>";
}
document.getElementById("result").innerHTML = result;
}
</script>
