Detect when “cursor position inside input change” in jQuery?

Question

I\'m using a plugin called jQuery TextRange to get the position of cursor inside a input (in my case, a textarea) and set the position too.

But now I have one thing

Answer 1

I needed something like this myself, so based on @RenatoPrado solution I've created a jQuery extension (it's on npm - jquery-position-event).

To use it you can add standard event:

var textarea = $('textarea').on('position', function(e) {
   console.log(e.position);
});

and if you want the initial value you can use:

var textarea = $('textarea').on('position', function(e) {
   console.log(e.position);
}).trigger('position');

The event also have useful column and line properties.
