# React Autocomplete [![Travis build status](https://travis-ci.org/reactjs/react-autocomplete.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/reactjs/react-autocomplete/) Accessible, extensible, Autocomplete for React.js. ```jsx item.label} items={[ { label: 'apple' }, { label: 'banana' }, { label: 'pear' } ]} renderItem={(item, isHighlighted) =>

{item.label}

} value={value} onChange={(e) => value = e.target.value} onSelect={(val) => value = val} /> ``` Check out [more examples](https://reactcommunity.org/react-autocomplete/) and get stuck right in with the [online editor](http://jsbin.com/mipesawapi/edit?js,output). ## Install ### npm ```bash npm install --save react-autocomplete ``` ### yarn ```bash yarn add react-autocomplete ``` ### AMD/UMD * Development: [https://unpkg.com/react-autocomplete@1.8.0/dist/react-autocomplete.js](https://unpkg.com/react-autocomplete@1.8.0/dist/react-autocomplete.js) * Production: [https://unpkg.com/react-autocomplete@1.8.0/dist/react-autocomplete.min.js](https://unpkg.com/react-autocomplete@1.8.0/dist/react-autocomplete.min.js) ## API ### Props #### `getItemValue: Function` Arguments: `item: Any` Used to read the display value from each entry in `items`. #### `items: Array` The items to display in the dropdown menu #### `renderItem: Function` Arguments: `item: Any, isHighlighted: Boolean, styles: Object` Invoked for each entry in `items` that also passes `shouldItemRender` to generate the render tree for each item in the dropdown menu. `styles` is an optional set of styles that can be applied to improve the look/feel of the items in the dropdown menu. #### `autoHighlight: Boolean` (optional) Default value: `true` Whether or not to automatically highlight the top match in the dropdown menu. #### `inputProps: Object` (optional) Default value: `{}` Props passed to `props.renderInput`. By default these props will be applied to the `` element rendered by `Autocomplete`, unless you have specified a custom value for `props.renderInput`. Any properties supported by `HTMLInputElement` can be specified, apart from the following which are set by `Autocomplete`: value, autoComplete, role, aria-autocomplete. `inputProps` is commonly used for (but not limited to) placeholder, event handlers (onFocus, onBlur, etc.), autoFocus, etc.. #### `isItemSelectable: Function` (optional) Default value: `function() { return true }` Arguments: `item: Any` Invoked when attempting to select an item. The return value is used to determine whether the item should be selectable or not. By default all items are selectable. #### `menuStyle: Object` (optional) Default value: ```jsx { borderRadius: '3px', boxShadow: '0 2px 12px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1)', background: 'rgba(255, 255, 255, 0.9)', padding: '2px 0', fontSize: '90%', position: 'fixed', overflow: 'auto', maxHeight: '50%', // TODO: don't cheat, let it flow to the bottom } ``` Styles that are applied to the dropdown menu in the default `renderMenu` implementation. If you override `renderMenu` and you want to use `menuStyle` you must manually apply them (`this.props.menuStyle`). #### `onChange: Function` (optional) Default value: `function() {}` Arguments: `event: Event, value: String` Invoked every time the user changes the input's value. #### `onMenuVisibilityChange: Function` (optional) Default value: `function() {}` Arguments: `isOpen: Boolean` Invoked every time the dropdown menu's visibility changes (i.e. every time it is displayed/hidden). #### `onSelect: Function` (optional) Default value: `function() {}` Arguments: `value: String, item: Any` Invoked when the user selects an item from the dropdown menu. #### `open: Boolean` (optional) Used to override the internal logic which displays/hides the dropdown menu. This is useful if you want to force a certain state based on your UX/business logic. Use it together with `onMenuVisibilityChange` for fine-grained control over the dropdown menu dynamics. #### `renderInput: Function` (optional) Default value: ```jsx function(props) { return } ``` Arguments: `props: Object` Invoked to generate the input element. The `props` argument is the result of merging `props.inputProps` with a selection of props that are required both for functionality and accessibility. At the very least you need to apply `props.ref` and all `props.on` event handlers. Failing to do this will cause `Autocomplete` to behave unexpectedly. #### `renderMenu: Function` (optional) Default value: ```jsx function(items, value, style) { return

} ``` Arguments: `items: Array, value: String, styles: Object` Invoked to generate the render tree for the dropdown menu. Ensure the returned tree includes every entry in `items` or else the highlight order and keyboard navigation logic will break. `styles` will contain { top, left, minWidth } which are the coordinates of the top-left corner and the width of the dropdown menu. #### `selectOnBlur: Boolean` (optional) Default value: `false` Whether or not to automatically select the highlighted item when the `` loses focus. #### `shouldItemRender: Function` (optional) Arguments: `item: Any, value: String` Invoked for each entry in `items` and its return value is used to determine whether or not it should be displayed in the dropdown menu. By default all items are always rendered. #### `sortItems: Function` (optional) Arguments: `itemA: Any, itemB: Any, value: String` The function which is used to sort `items` before display. #### `value: Any` (optional) Default value: `''` The value to display in the input field #### `wrapperProps: Object` (optional) Default value: `{}` Props that are applied to the element which wraps the `` and dropdown menu elements rendered by `Autocomplete`. #### `wrapperStyle: Object` (optional) Default value: ```jsx { display: 'inline-block' } ``` This is a shorthand for `wrapperProps={{ style: }}`. Note that `wrapperStyle` is applied before `wrapperProps`, so the latter will win if it contains a `style` entry. ### 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 `` methods directly on an `Autocomplete` instance. An example: ```jsx class MyComponent extends Component { componentDidMount() { // Focus the input and select "world" this.input.focus() this.input.setSelectionRange(6, 11) } render() { return ( 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](http://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
