React Autocomplete Travis build status

Accessible, extensible, Autocomplete for React.js.

<Autocomplete
  getItemValue={(item) => item.label}
  items={[
    { label: 'apple' },
    { label: 'banana' },
    { label: 'pear' }
  ]}
  renderItem={(item, isHighlighted) =>
    <div style={{ background: isHighlighted ? 'lightgray' : 'white' }}>
      {item.label}
    </div>
  }
  value={value}
  onChange={(e) => value = e.target.value}
  onSelect={(val) => value = val}
/>

Check out more examples and get stuck right in with the online editor.

API

Props

${API_DOC}

Imperative API

In addition to the props there is an API available on the mounted element which is similar to that of HTMLInputElement. In other words: you can access most of the common <input> methods directly on an Autocomplete instance. An example:

class MyComponent extends Component {
  componentDidMount() {
    // Focus the input and select "world"
    this.input.focus()
    this.input.setSelectionRange(6, 11)
  }
  render() {
    return (
      <Autocomplete
        ref={el => this.input = el}
        value="hello world"
        ...
      />
    )
  }
}

Development

You can start a local development environment with npm start. This command starts a static file server on localhost:8080 which serves the examples in examples/. Hot-reload mechanisms are in place which means you don't have to refresh the page or restart the build for changes to take effect.

Tests!

Run them: npm test

Write them: lib/__tests__/Autocomplete-test.js

Check your work: npm run coverage

Scripts

Run with npm run <script>.

gh-pages

Builds the examples and assembles a commit which is pushed to origin/gh-pages, then cleans up your working directory. Note: This script will git checkout master before building.

release

Takes the same argument as npm publish, i.e. [major|minor|patch|x.x.x], then tags a new version, publishes, and pushes the version commit and tag to origin/master. Usage: npm run release -- [major|minor|patch|x.x.x]. Remember to update the CHANGELOG before releasing!

build

Runs the build scripts detailed below.

build:component

Transpiles the source in lib/ and outputs it to build/, as well as creating a UMD bundle in dist/.

build:examples

Creates bundles for each of the examples, which is used for pushing to origin/gh-pages.

test

Runs the test scripts detailed below.

test:lint

Runs eslint on the source.

test:jest

Runs the unit tests with jest.

coverage

Runs the unit tests and creates a code coverage report.

start

Builds all the examples and starts a static file server on localhost:8080. Any changes made to lib/Autocomplete.js and the examples are automatically compiled and transmitted to the browser, i.e. there's no need to refresh the page or restart the build during development. This script is the perfect companion when making changes to this repo, since you can use the examples as a test-bed for development.
