renderItem={(item, isHighlighted) =>
<div style={{ background: isHighlighted ? 'lightgray' : 'white' }}>
{item.label}
</div>
}
value={value}
onChange={(e) => value = e.target.value}
onSelect={(val) => value = val}
/>
Check out more examples and get stuck right in with the online editor.

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 <input />
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..
menuStyle: Object
(optional)
Default value:
{
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:
function(props) {
return <input {...props} />
}
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>
event handlers. Failing to do
this will cause Autocomplete
to behave unexpectedly.
renderMenu: Function
(optional)
Default value:
function(items, value, style) {
return <div style={{ ...style, ...this.menuStyle }} children={items}/>
}
Arguments: items: Array<Any>, 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
<input>
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 <input />
and
dropdown menu elements rendered by Autocomplete
.
wrapperStyle: Object
(optional)
Default value:
{
display: 'inline-block'
}
This is a shorthand for wrapperProps={{ style: <your styles> }}
.
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 <input>
methods directly on an Autocomplete
instance. An example:
class MyComponent extends Component {
componentDidMount() {
// Focus the input and select "world"
this.input.focus()
this.input.setSelectionRange(6, 11)
}
render() {
return (
<Autocomplete
ref={el => 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 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 <script>
.
gh-pages
Builds the examples and assembles a commit which is pushed to origin/gh-pages
, then cleans up your working directory. Note: This script will git checkout master
before building.
release
Takes the same argument as npm publish
, i.e. [major|minor|patch|x.x.x]
, then tags a new version, publishes, and pushes the version commit and tag to origin/master
. Usage: npm run release -- [major|minor|patch|x.x.x]
. Remember to update the CHANGELOG before releasing!
build
Runs the build scripts detailed below.
build:component
Transpiles the source in lib/
and outputs it to build/
, as well as creating a UMD bundle in dist/
.
build:examples
Creates bundles for each of the examples, which is used for pushing to origin/gh-pages
.
test
Runs the test scripts detailed below.
test:lint
Runs eslint
on the source.
test:jest
Runs the unit tests with jest
.
coverage
Runs the unit tests and creates a code coverage report.
start
Builds all the examples and starts a static file server on localhost:8080. Any changes made to lib/Autocomplete.js
and the examples are automatically compiled and transmitted to the browser, i.e. there's no need to refresh the page or restart the build during development. This script is the perfect companion when making changes to this repo, since you can use the examples as a test-bed for development.
