@brycemarshall/autocomplete-angular
Attaches Google-style autocomplete behaviour to a standard HTML INPUT control. The behaviour is implemented as an Angular directive that is applied to the INPUT markup element.
The component popup can be styled using CSS, and customised using custom create and list sub-components.
See the package type-definition files for detailed usage and type documentation.

}Usage - Applying the CSS Stylesheets
The styles for the autocomplete control are written to the DOM by applying an AutocompleteStyles directive to an ng-template markup element. This implementation ensures that autocomplete styles can be overridden in standard CSS form at any level in the DOM below the AutocompleteStyles declaration (whether globally, at page level, or within individual components).
CSS Configuration
The default CSS values are shown below, and may be overridden.

background-color: #ffffff;
max-width:100%;
opacity: 1;

/*
The lowest height that the popup will be compressed to before the lower position loses priority.

}Usage - AutocompleteModule Import
The Automcomplete Module is imported as follows (in this example using standard Angular app.module.ts). Such an import is required for all of the subsequent usage examples.
// FILE: src/app/app.module.ts
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { FormsModule } from '@angular/forms';
import { HttpModule } from '@angular/http';
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
// Import the Autocomplete Javascript module
import { AutocompleteModule } from '@brycemarshall/autocomplete-angular';
@NgModule({
declarations: [
AppComponent
],
imports: [
BrowserModule,
FormsModule,
HttpModule,
// Import the Angular Autocomplete module into the NgModule
AutocompleteModule
],
providers: [],
bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }Usage - Basic
<!-- FILE: src/app/app.component.html -->
<ng-template autocomp-styles></ng-template>
<div autocomp-container style="width:100%;">
<label input>City</label>
<input type="text" [(dataItem)]="city" [autocomp]="queryCitiesFn" [allowCreate]="false" />
</div>// FILE: src/app/app.component.ts
import { Component, ViewEncapsulation } from '@angular/core';
import { AutocompleteQueryMediator, BindQueryProcessorFunction } from '@brycemarshall/autocomplete-angular';
import { CityQueryProvider } from './lib/city-query-provider';
@Component({
selector: 'app-root',
templateUrl: './app.component.html',
styleUrls: ['./app.component.css'],
encapsulation: ViewEncapsulation.None
})
export class AppComponent {
private city: string = "";
get bindCitiesQueryProc(): BindQueryProcessorFunction {
// Returns a function that the Autocomplete runtime will invoke to bind an active control to a query processor after it has
// received focus and before its first suggestion query. The same fuction reference will be used until the control loses focus
// and the AutocompleteQueryMediator is destroyed.
return (mediator: AutocompleteQueryMediator) => {
mediator.subscribeFn((sender: AutocompleteQueryMediator, token: any, filter: string) => {
// Retrieve the filtered result. Note that result could equally be resolved asynchronously.
let result = CityQueryProvider.queryCities(filter);
// Alert the mediator to the result.
sender.onResult(token, result);
});
}
}
}Usage - Complex Datatype with autoAssign enabled, and using textFunction to format item text
(see also the "Supporting Types for Demos" sections below)

@Component({

})
export class AppComponentColours {

get bindCurrenciesQueryProc(): BindQueryProcessorFunction {
// Returns a function that the Autocomplete runtime will invoke to bind an active control to a query processor after it has
// received focus and before its first suggestion query. The same fuction reference will be used until the control loses focus
// and the AutocompleteQueryMediator is destroyed.
return (mediator: AutocompleteQueryMediator) => {
mediator.subscribeFn((sender: AutocompleteQueryMediator, token: any, filter: string) => {
// Retrieve the filtered result. Note that result could equally be resolved asynchronously.
let result = CurrencyQueryProvider.queryCurrencies(filter);
// Alert the mediator to the result.
sender.onResult(token, result);
});
}
}
get formatCurrencyFn() {
return (item: any, descriptive: boolean): string => {
if (item == null) return "";
if (descriptive)
return item.code + " (" + item.name + ")";
return item.code;
};
}
get resolveFunction(): AutocompleteResolveFunction {
return (data: AutocompleteResolveData) => {
let v = data.inputValue.toLowerCase();
let results = CurrencyQueryProvider.queryCurrencies(v);
if (results.length == 0) return false;
for (let c of results) {
if (c.code.toLowerCase() != v && c.name.toLowerCase() != v) continue;
data.resolvedValue = c;
break;
}
return data.resolvedValue != null;
};
}
}Usage - Custom Create and List Sub-Components, and with allowCreate enabled
(see also the "Supporting Types for Demos" sections below)
The typeKey attribute is used in the markup to specify the custom AutocompleteTypeset from which the types for this instance are retrieved.
Note that typesets are named, but that it is possible to specify a custom global default typeset by adding a custom typeset to the injected AutocompleteTypeProvider instance using an empty string as the key. If a typeset with the specified key does not exist in the immediate injected AutocompleteTypeProvider instance, the autocomplete control will walk the branch of injected parent AutocompleteTypeProvider instances, and finally throw an error if none can be found.
Note also that when adding a custom AutocompleteTypeset, type values (the custom create type and the custom list type) may be specified as null. Specifying a null type will result in the autocomplete control falling back upon the default sub-component implementation.
