Text Input with Expanding Bottom Border

Petr Gazarov published a pretty rad little design pattern in his article Text input highlight, TripAdvisor style.

It's a trick! You can't really make an <input> stretch like that, so Petr makes a <span> to sync the value too, which acts as the border itself. The whole thing is a React component.

If you're willing to use a <span contenteditable> instead, you could do the whole thing in CSS!
