Applying Max and Min Character Limits in KendoReact Editor

Updated on Dec 24, 2025

Environment

Product Version	13.2.0
Product	Progress® KendoReact Editor

Description

I want to restrict the KendoReact Editor to a specific number of characters. For example, I want to set a maximum character limit of 100 so that users cannot add more than 100 characters to the Editor. The change event should handle this restriction.

This knowledge base article also answers the following questions:

• How to limit the character count in KendoReact Editor?
• How to set a maximum character limit in KendoReact Editor?
• How to enforce minimum and maximum character limits in React Editor?

Solution

To restrict the KendoReact Editor to a maximum character limit, handle the onChange event and control the value based on its length. Use the textContent property to get the plain text length without HTML markup.
