Add optional character count to text input

[kaylarakower]

Summary

Text input with optional character count

Image and sketch file

Justification

To create and edit pages on IBM.com, content authors need to know the character limit for all pieces of text, whether it is a single line of text or a paragraph. Currently, character counts are only supported for a text area, Issue #1672 (However, it is missing in storybook ).

When a user is typing into a form field which has a maximum value, that value is communicated to the user, and if the limit is reached, they are informed whilst typing.

"Must have" functionality

(Copied from #1672 )
Tell the user ahead of time what the value is
Tell the user clearly when they have hit the limit (and stop them entering text)

this feature is all but finished. the required component changes to correctly implement this were not merged in and this effort was deprioritized, but when this becomes a focus in a project cycle the work is most of the way there with a few updates (related #2745 #3054 #3106 #3097)

Ah year back now. Any news on this?

[TannerS]

Bump, is this actively being worked on? @joshblack or @tay1orjones ? like is this in the works or road map for carbon or cloud pal?

Hi there @TannerS and @Mikadv! 👋 This is not currently on our roadmap but it is a candidate for Q2 2022 after we ship our v11 release 👍
