I know how to limit the number of characters in a TextEditor. But is there a way to limit it by line number instead of by character?
With something like this?
TextEditor(text: $myText).lineLimit(3)

1As of iOS 14 there is no simple solution (`TextEditor` is relatively new in SwiftUI, so let's hope it changes in the next version). You may try, however, to calculate everything manually - detecting the heights etc. – pawello2222 Jan 28 '21 at 00:07

Note that [the `TextEditor` docs](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/texteditor) say, "If you want to change the spacing or font scaling aspects of the text, you can use modifiers like [lineLimit(_:)](https://developer.apple.com/documentation/swiftui/view/linelimit(_:))..." which implies that you can via `TextEditor(text: $someText).lineLimit(2)`. There doesn't appear to be any information clarifying if this has been added since iOS 14 or if it was added in a later release. – D M Feb 04 '22 at 22:56
