Simply include the vue-autocomplete.js to your HTML or web page file, next to Vue.Js. You can take a peek an example at example.html. And don't forget to include vue-autocomplete.css file when you choose this way.

Or

You can import vue-autocomplete.vue to your vue component file like this and process it with your preprocessor.

import autocomplete from ./vue-autocomplete.vue
// Or
var autocomplete = require('./vue-autocomplete.vue');

Usage

minimal:

<autocomplete
  name="people"
  url="http://localhost:3000/remote-list/klien"
  anchor="value"
  label="label"
  model="vModelLike">
</autocomplete>

Full Example:

<autocomplete
  id="input__id-optional"
  class="input_class optional"
  name="people"
  placeholder="Type Here"
  url="http://localhost:3000/remote-list/klien"
  param="q"
  limit="5"
  anchor="value"
  label="label"
  model="vModelLike">
</autocomplete>

Additional parameters

If you need to pass more parameters in url, use Computed Properties (https://vuejs.org/guide/computed.html) :

Example:

            param: function () {
                return 'foo=' + this.bar + '&q';
            }
      }```

in component change ```param ="q" for :param="param" ```

## Props

##### `name` (*) : Component Identity
will use for Identify the autocomplete component. for multiple use purpose.

<br/>

##### `url` (*) : Ajax URL to fetch
the URL must be active (not from file). the component will fetch JSON from this URL with (default : `q`) query. like:
`http://some-url.com/API/list?q=`.
There are no filter and limit action inside the component. So, do it in your API logic.

<br/>

##### `min` : Minimum input typed chars before performing the search query. default ( 3 )

Anchor for listing suggestions. Example `anchor="name"` will get the name object of your JSON data for suggestion listing like ("Bambang", "Sukijan", "Bejo") in the demo above.

##### `label` : Description for Suggestion list
For description to your suggestion. the uses is like `anchor` props but for the description of each suggestion. like ("Alamat", "alamat sesuai ktp", "alamat") in the demo above. not required but if it's null the component will look bad.

Clear Method

If you need to Clear or Netralize your autocomplete, You can simply make some refs then call a method named clearInput(). You can take a look at the Example :

<button @click="clearAutocomplete">Clear</button>
<autocomplete
  id="input__id-optional"
  class="input_class optional"
  name="people"
  placeholder="Type Here"
  url="http://localhost:3000/remote-list/klien"
  param="q"
  limit="5"
  anchor="value"
  label="label"
  model="vModelLike"
  v-ref:my-autocomplete>
</autocomplete>

  // ... another vue scope

  methods: {
    clearAutocomplete() {
      this.$refs.myAutocomplete.clearInput()
    }
  },

  // ...
