AutoComplete Component for the Chakra UI Library.}

npm i @choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete

## Install ```bash npm i --save @choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete #or yarn add @choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete ``` ## Preview ### With Mouse ![](./assets/mouse.gif) ### With Keyboard ![](./assets/keyboard.gif) ## Usage ### Basic Usage ```js import { Flex, FormControl, FormHelperText, FormLabel } from "@chakra-ui/react"; import * as React from "react"; import { AutoComplete, AutoCompleteInput, AutoCompleteItem, AutoCompleteList, } from "@choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete"; function App() { const countries = [ "nigeria", "japan", "india", "united states", "south korea", ]; return ( Olympics Soccer Winner {countries.map((country, cid) => ( {country} ))} Who do you support. ); } export default App; ``` CleanShot 2021-07-28 at 23 47 57@2x

### Creating Groups You can create groups with the `AutoCompleteGroup` Component, and add a title with the `AutoCompleteGroupTitle` component. ```js import { Flex, FormControl, FormHelperText, FormLabel } from "@chakra-ui/react"; import * as React from "react"; import { AutoComplete, AutoCompleteGroup, AutoCompleteGroupTitle, AutoCompleteInput, AutoCompleteItem, AutoCompleteList, } from "@choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete"; function App() { const continents = { africa: ["nigeria", "south africa"], asia: ["japan", "south korea"], europe: ["united kingdom", "russia"], }; return ( Olympics Soccer Winner {Object.entries(continents).map(([continent, countries], co_id) => ( {continent} {countries.map((country, c_id) => ( {country} ))} ))} Who do you support. ); } export default App; ``` CleanShot 2021-07-29 at 01 18 47@2x

## Accessing the internal state To access the internal state of the `AutoComplete`, use a function as children (commonly known as a render prop). You'll get access to the internal state `isOpen`, with the `onOpen` and `onClose` methods. ```js import { Flex, FormControl, FormHelperText, FormLabel, Icon, InputGroup, InputRightElement, } from "@chakra-ui/react"; import * as React from "react"; import { AutoComplete, AutoCompleteInput, AutoCompleteItem, AutoCompleteList, } from "@choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete"; import { FiChevronRight, FiChevronDown } from "react-icons/fi"; function App() { const countries = [ "nigeria", "japan", "india", "united states", "south korea", ]; return ( Olympics Soccer Winner {({ isOpen }) => ( <> } /> {countries.map((country, cid) => ( {country} ))} )} Who do you support. ); } export default App; ``` CleanShot 2021-07-29 at 01 29 46@2x

## Custom Rendering You can Render whatever you want. The `AutoComplete` Items are regular `Chakra` Boxes. ```js import { Avatar, Flex, FormControl, FormHelperText, FormLabel, Text, } from "@chakra-ui/react"; import * as React from "react"; import { AutoComplete, AutoCompleteInput, AutoCompleteItem, AutoCompleteList, } from "@choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete"; function App() { const people = [ { name: "Dan Abramov", image: "https://bit.ly/dan-abramov" }, { name: "Kent Dodds", image: "https://bit.ly/kent-c-dodds" }, { name: "Segun Adebayo", image: "https://bit.ly/sage-adebayo" }, { name: "Prosper Otemuyiwa", image: "https://bit.ly/prosper-baba" }, { name: "Ryan Florence", image: "https://bit.ly/ryan-florence" }, ]; return ( Olympics Soccer Winner {people.map((person, oid) => ( {person.name} ))} Who do you support. ); } export default App; ``` CleanShot 2021-07-29 at 01 35 03@2x

## Multi Select with Tags Add the `multiple` prop to `AutoComplete` component, the `AutoCompleteInput` will now expose the tags in it's children function. The `onChange` prop now returns an array of the chosen `values` Now you can map the tags with the `AutoCompleteTag` component or any other component of your choice. The `label` and the `onRemove` method are now exposed. ```js import { Flex, FormControl, FormHelperText, FormLabel } from "@chakra-ui/react"; import * as React from "react"; import { AutoComplete, AutoCompleteInput, AutoCompleteItem, AutoCompleteList, AutoCompleteTag, } from "@choc-ui/chakra-autocomplete"; function App() { const countries = [ "nigeria", "japan", "india", "united states", "south korea", ]; return ( Olympics Soccer Winner console.log(vals)}> {({ tags }) => tags.map((tag, tid) => ( )) } {countries.map((country, cid) => ( {country} ))} Who do you support. ); } export default App; ``` ![Kapture 2021-07-29 at 02 05 53](https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/30869823/127415996-09a5df7c-a356-4a22-ad9c-60d09963cfc6.gif) ## Creatable Items I know that title hardly expresses the point, but yeah, naming is tough. You might want your users to be able to add extra items when their options are not available in the provided options. e.g. adding a new tag to your Polywork profile. First add the `creatable` prop to the `AutoComplete` component. Then add the `AutoCompleteCreatable` component to the bottom of the list. Refer to the references for more info on this component.

## Loading State Need to pull data from API, but don't want your users to see a blank screen? You can enable the loading state by passing the `isLoading` prop to `AutoComplete`. By doing this, 2 other props will be enabled 1. `loadingIcon` on `AutoCompleteInput` will display some sort of loading icon on the right side of the input. By default, a `Spinner` will be displayed, but you can pass in any custom element to be rendered 2. `loadingState` on `AutoCompleteList` can display custom loading content when `isLoading` is `true`. All content will be rendered in the center of the list. By default, a `Spinner` will be displayed, but you can pass in any custom element to be rendered. Best practice is to combine `setTimeout` and `useEffect` to create a debounce effect. This will prevent un-necessary API calls if your user types relatively quickly. A working code demo can be found [here](https://codesandbox.io/s/choc-ui-chakra-autocomplete-loading-tfc8jz) ## Integration with Form Libraries It is relatively easy to integrate with form libaries such as `React Hook Form`, `Formik`, and others. Working examples can be found in the `demos` folder of this repo. See the [Contributing](#contribute) section of this doc on how to clone and set it up for testing. Does your favorite form library not have a working example? Submit a PR to get it added and help others using this library quickly get up and running. ## Autocomplete methods Assign a ref to the `AutoComplete` component and call the available methods with: ```js ref.current?.resetItems(); ref.current?.removeItem(itemValue); ``` ### Codesandbox Link [Here](https://githubbox.com/anubra266/choc-autocomplete/tree/main/demo) ## API Reference **NB**: Feel free to request any additional `Prop` in [Issues](https://github.com/anubra266/choc-autocomplete/issues/new/). ### **AutoComplete** Wrapper and Provider for `AutoCompleteInput` and `AutoCompleteList` **AutoComplete** composes [**Box**](https://chakra-ui.com/docs/layout/box) so you can pass all Box props to change its style. **NB:** None of the props passed to it are required.
