I saw a github library: https://github.com/wix/react-native-autogrow-textinput/issues
I am confused of how that library is related to WIX project, or whether I can use it in my wix project. See that library is under the path of WIX, but it seems to be a react native library. Can someone help me to understand?
thanks,
That is through adding a npm into Wix.

To do that you will need to look into using Wix Package Manager.

Thanks for the reply. I still have following questions:
1. The Wix Package manager can only install approved package, i didn’t find any “…autogrow …” package in the list.
2. My understanding is that the packages installed can only be used in “backend”, not “front-end”. Here, a UI is a front end module, how come it can be installed in the backend only?
3. Just say, that package gets installed in my wix project ready for use, how should I define a UI as “autogrow” text input? The typical drag and drop operation for regular text box probably won’t work here.
4. Could you help to give a step by step instruction if possible?
thanks,
My current understanding is that, that github repository is not directly related to WiX editor; that is a related, but separate company, called WiXEngineering, contributing to other open source projects. Those projects are react-native libraries, not meant to be used in WiX editor.
