AngularJS: Writing To And Reading From Textarea With Multilines

I can't believe why I can't find anything to this topic ... I got a form with let's say lastname (input), firstname (input), description (textarea as I want provide several lines).

Solution 1:

store 'br' in your model, so you can use ng-bind-html. add a directive to your textarea which makes the conversion between your $viewVale ('\n') and your model.

.directive('lbBr', function () {

    return {
        restrict: 'A',
        require: '?ngModel',
        link: function (scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {
            if (!ngModel) {
                return;
            }

            ngModel.$parsers.unshift(function(value) {
                return value.replace(new RegExp('\n', 'g'), '<br />');
            });

            ngModel.$formatters.unshift(function(value) {
                if (value) {
                    return value.replace(new RegExp('<br />', 'g'), '\n');
                }
                return undefined;
            });
        }
    };
});
