react-suggestible

Inline autocompletion component. Autocompletion is started by a combination of a specific 'trigger' character (e.g. @) and a prefix of a specified minimum length (e.g. 2).

import React, { useState } from 'react'
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom'
import Suggestible from 'react-suggestible'
import COUNTRIES from './countries.json'
 
const Example = () => {
  const [text, setText] = useState('')
 
  return (
    <Suggestible
      value={text}
      options={COUNTRIES}
      trigger="#"
      minPrefix={1}
      rows={6}
      onChange={setText}
      autoFocus
    />
  )
}

In this example, typing #N would display a popup containing the first five countries starting with the letter N (Namibia, Nauru, Nepal, etc). Continuing to type #New narrows the options in the menu until only 'New Zealand' is shown.

Options

trigger — the character that triggers the popup (default @). Note that this will be visible as part of the input element's value.

options — an array of strings containing the possible values for the popup. These should ideally be in sorted order.

minPrefix — the number of characters that must be typed before the popup appears (excluding the trigger character).

component — the input component to render. Uses a textarea by default, but also works with input, or any 'input-like' component that takes a value prop and handles 'normal' events like oninput, onkeydown, and onchange.

Any other props provided to Suggestible will be passed directly to the wrapped component.
