This widget dynamically updates the character count as users type, ensuring they do not exceed a predefined limit, which can be configured according to specific needs.

Features:

• Real-time character count display as users type in the text area.
• Configurable character limit to control maximum input length.
• Visual feedback on how many characters are remaining or used.
• Clean UI integration within forms, responsive and user-friendly.

Installation:

• Download the Dynamic Character Counter widget module.
• Install the widget into your Mendix project by importing it via the Mendix Studio Pro’s app store or manually.

Configurations:

• Drag and drop the Dynamic Character Counter widget into a data view.
• Set the appropriate character limit for the text area.
• Bind the widget to an entity attribute of type String where the input will be stored.
• Optionally configure the display of the character limit to show it alongside the text area.
