Anyway to ref a q-input?

[yeechutngeow]

Hi,

I would like to do something like the following with q-input, is it possible?

<template>
  <textarea ref="myTextarea" v-model="..." />
</template>
<script>
  ...
  const myTextarea = ref(null);
  ...
  function insertIntoTextarea(str) {
    console.log(myTextarea.value.selectionStart); // cursor position
    // insert str at cursor position
  }
</script>

// quasar ways
myTextarea.value.getNativeElement().selectionStart
myTextarea.value.nativeEl.selectionStart
// others
myTextarea.value.$el.querySelector('input').selectionStart
...

Thanks a lot.
FYI myTextarea.value.nativeEl does not work.
the other one should read:
myTextarea.value.$el.querySelector('textarea')

if you made it into a textarea (autogrow) then yes that's it, i use q-input / input as that's what you were asking in the title :).
