DEPRECATED
Expanding text field definition has been deprecated since Magnolia 6.0. It extends info.magnolia.ui.form.field.definition.TextFieldDefinition of Magnolia 5 UI. There is no corresponding implementation that would extend info.magnolia.ui.field.TextFieldDefinition of Magnolia 6 UI.
This field is provided by the Content Editor module, which is a DX Core module.
ExpandingTextFieldDefinition extends the text field by allowing its height to expand with the increasing amount of text entered until it reaches the value set for the maxRows property. At that point, a scrollbar will appear.
