How to make the textarea resize just to top-CodePudding

I have a textarea that is a field for a person to type a message to be sent in a conversation (like whatsapp). But I need that when this textarea has more lines, it resizes only up, because if you resize down you end up exceeding the screen line and bugging the textarea. How can I do this?

Textarea:

          <div >
           <textarea style="resize: vertical;" type="text" (keydown)=search($event) (keyup)=keyup($event) [(ngModel)]="msg" #ctrl="ngModel" id="messageInput" rows="1"   placeholder=" Enter Message..."></textarea>
          </div>

OBS: Im using Angular.(I don't know if it makes any difference)

His current behavior:

You can use javascript to solve this problem:

const tx = document.getElementsByTagName("textarea");
for (let i = 0; i < tx.length; i  ) {
  tx[i].setAttribute("style", "height:"   (tx[i].scrollHeight)   "px; overflow-y:hidden;");
  tx[i].addEventListener("input", OnInput, false);
}

function OnInput() {
  this.style.height = 0;
  this.style.height = (this.scrollHeight)   "px";
}

<textarea placeholder="Message...">Really long message with some content in it which makes it tall</textarea>
 <textarea style="resize: vertical;" type="text" (keydown)=search($event) (keyup)=keyup($event) [(ngModel)]="msg" #ctrl="ngModel" id="messageInput" rows="1"   placeholder=" Enter Message..."></textarea>
