React Autosearchbar

Customizable searchbar for React. Supports from-middle-of-word searches and provides autocomplete options with matching characters in bold text.

When only one character is entered only items beginning with that character are returned. When multiple character are entered then all results containing that character combination are returned.

import { Searchbar } from " react-autosearchbar " ; < Searchbar data = { data } returnSuggestions = { returnSuggestions } /> ;

Checkout out this example to see how to use the component.

Install

npm

npm install --save react-autosearchbar

Prerequisites

styled components

npm install --save styled-components

Usage

Add the Searchbar component where ever you would like it to appear. Autocomplete options will populate directly underneath it as the user types.

Props

Required

data: Array

An array of the items you wish to search through. React Autosearchbar does not sort this array so you may need to sort your data first if you want autocomplete suggestions to appear in alphabetical order.

Function that is called when the user presses Enter or clicks on an autocomplete item. Takes an array of the currently displayed autocomplete suggestions as an argument. Write this function to suit your needs.

Example

const returnSuggestions = suggestions => { this . setState ( { searchResults : suggestions } ) ; } ;
