dkfbasel-search

dkfbasel-search is a search component for vue.js 2.1+ handling search inputs and result rendering based on best practice experiences in terms of usability. For the most flexibility we are taking advantage of the newly implemented scoped slots in vue combined with vue transitions for high performance animations.

Its simple usage makes it the best choice for your search implementation. Just pass your own search command and define the presentation of hints and results as you like.

Requirements

vue 2.1+ dynamics.js

Installation

$ npm install dkfbasel-search --save

Usage

Import dkfbasel-search into your vue component:

import Search from 'dkfbasel-search';

Place the dkfbasel-search component inside your template and define the result presentation and optionally a content to be presented from the beginning:

<search autofocus :query="yourSearchQuery" placeholder="the placeholder text is optional">

	<template slot="start">
		... // any html code, e.g.:
		<div class="start-info">Welcome to dkfbasel-search. What are you looking for?</div>
	</template>

	<template slot="result" scope="props">
		... // any html code
		// use {{props.result}} to access the result based on your data model, e.g.
		// if your data model looks like {title: "Cook book", description: "A book with lots of yammy food"}:
		<div class="result-item">
			<h2>{{props.result.title}}</h2>
			<span>{{props.result.description}}</span>
		</div>
	</template>

</search>

Optional you can also edit the hints for the following actions:

While user is typing:

<template slot="hint_typing">
	... // any html code
</template>

While search is running:

<template slot="hint_searching">
	... // any html code
</template>

When results are presented:

<template slot="hint_result" scope="props">
	...
	// use {{props.term}} to display the term your were searching for
	// use {{props.amount}} to display the number of results
</template>

When an error occured while searching:

<template slot="hint_error">
	... // any html code
</template>

Additional information before and after the search results can be added optionally:

To be shown before the result

<template slot="before_result">
	... // any html code
</template>

To be shown after the result:

<template slot="after_result">
	... // any html code
</template>

An fully functional example is provided in the test directory using docker and webpack.
