Parse JSON newline character in textarea

Hey, folks! Does anyone know how to parse/decode a newline character (\n) in a textarea's value attribute?

When saving JSON to Supabase, if the textarea has been input with breaking spaces, it stores the content correctly with \n when sent via an API request, however when you load the content back in the text area, the breaking spaces are replaced with the newline character \n.

Try creating a variable that holds \n and use the variable when you parse the output

I'm not quite sure I understand, Erik. Can you expand on that, please? It's probably really simple. 🫣

@Jacob Kofoed do you remember if we have an example of this somewhere? 🤔
