+## Summary
+
+Autosize is a small, stand-alone script to automatically adjust textarea height to fit text.
+
+#### Demo
+
+Full documentation and a demo can be found at [jacklmoore.com/autosize](http://jacklmoore.com/autosize)
+
+#### Install via NPM
+```bash
+npm install autosize
+```
+
+#### Browser compatibility
+
+Chrome | Firefox | IE | Safari | iOS Safari | Android | Opera Mini | Windows Phone IE
+------ | --------|----|--------|------------|---------|------------|------------------
+yes    | yes     | 9  | yes    | yes        | 4       | ?          | 8.1
+
+#### Usage
+
+The autosize function accepts a single textarea element, or an array or array-like object (such as a NodeList or jQuery collection) of textarea elements.
+
+```javascript
+// from a NodeList
+autosize(document.querySelectorAll('textarea'));
+
+// from a single Node
+autosize(document.querySelector('textarea'));
+
+// from a jQuery collection
+autosize($('textarea'));
+```
