Slots

header/footer

Slots for injecting content around the results/input. Useful for header/footer like slots or empty state.

<vue-autosuggest ...>
  <template slot="before-input"> content before the <input /> goes here </template>
  <template slot="after-input"> content after the <input /> goes here </template>
  <template slot="before-suggestions"> content before the <ul> goes here </template>
  <template slot="before-section-<section.name e.g. 'default'>"> section header content for specific section goes here </template>
  <template slot="after-section-<section.name e.g. 'default'>"> footer content goes here for specific section. </template>
  <template slot="after-section"> Default footer content for all sections </template>
  <template slot="after-suggestions"> content after the <ul> goes here </template>
</vue-autosuggest>

Adding labels

It is common in forms to add a label next to the <input /> tag for semantic html / accessibility. You can use the before-input slot to accomplish this in conjunction with the inputProps.id:

<vue-autosuggest ...>
  <template slot="before-input">
    <label :for="inputProps.id">Search here:</label>
  </template>
  ...
</vue-autosuggest>

suggestion item (i.e. default slot)

Used to style each suggestion inside the <li> tag. Using scoped slots you have access to the suggestion item inside the v-for suggestions loop. This gives you the power of Vue templating, since vue-autosuggest does not have an opinion about how you render the items in your list.

<vue-autosuggest>
  <template slot-scope="{suggestion}">
    <!-- suggestion.name corresponds to which section the item is in -->
    <div v-if="suggestion.name === 'blog'">
      <!-- suggestion.item corresponds to the suggestion object -->
      <a target="_blank" :href="suggestion.item.url">{{suggestion.item.value}}</a>
    </div>
    <div v-else>{{suggestion.item}}</div>
  </template>
</vue-autosuggest>

This slot will be overridden when the render-suggestion prop is used.

Props

| Prop | Type | Required | Description | | :------------------------------------------ | :------- | :------: | :-------------------------------------------------------- | | suggestions | Array | ✓ | Suggestions to be rendered. e.g.suggestions: [{data: ['harry','ron','hermione']}] | | input-props | Object | ✓ | Add props to the <input>. | | section-configs | Object | | Define multiple sections <input>. | | render-suggestion | Function | | Tell vue-autosuggest how to render inside the <li> tag. Overrides what is inside the default suggestion template slot. | | get-suggestion-value | Function | | Tells vue-autosuggest what to put in the <input/> value | | should-render-suggestions | Function | | Tell vue-autosuggest if it should render the suggestions results popover | | component-attr-id-autosuggest | String | | id of entire component | | component-attr-class-autosuggest-results-container | String | | class of container of results container | | component-attr-class-autosuggest-results | String | | class of results container | | component-attr-prefix | String | | prefix to be used for results item classes/ids. default: autosuggest |

inputProps

| Prop | Type | Required | Description | | :----------------------- | :------------------ | :--------: | :--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | id | String | ✓ | id attribute on <input>. | | Any DOM Props | * | | You can add any props to <input> as the component will v-bind inputProps. Similar to rest spread in JSX. See more details here: https://vuejs.org/v2/api/#v-bind. The name attribute is set to "q" by default. |

sectionConfigs

Multiple sections can be defined in the sectionConfigs prop which defines the control behavior for each section.

| Prop | Type | Required | Description | | :----------- | :------- | :------: | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | on-selected | Function | ✓ | Determine behavior for what should happen when a suggestion is selected. e.g. Submit a form, open a link, update a vue model, tweet at Ken Wheeler etc. | | limit | Number | | Limit each section by some value. Default: Infinity |

Below we have defined a default section and a blog section. The blog section has a component type of url-section which corresponds to which component the Autosuggest loads. When type is not defined, Vue-autosuggest will use a built in DefaultSection.vue component.

sectionConfigs: {
    'default': {
        limit: 6,
        onSelected: function(item, originalInput) {
            console.log(item, originalInput, `Selected "${item.item}"`);
        }
    },
    'blog': {
        limit: 3,
        type: "url-section",
        onSelected: function() {
            console.log("url: " + item.item.url);
        }
    }
}

renderSuggestion

This function can be used to tell vue-autosuggest how to render the html inside the <li> tag when you do not want to use the default template slot for suggestions but would rather have the power of javascript / jsx.

In its most basic form it just returns an object property:

renderSuggestion(suggestion) {
    return suggestion.name;
},

But usually it returns a JSX fragment, which is transformed into a virtual node description with babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx:

renderSuggestion(suggestion) {
    return <div style={{ color: "red" }}>{suggestion.name}</div>;
},

If you're not using babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx, you can create the virtual node description yourself:

renderSuggestion(suggestion) {
    return this.$createElement('div', { 'style': { color: 'red'} }, suggestion.name);
},

getSuggestionValue

This function will tell vue-autosuggest what to put in the <input/> as the value.

getSuggestionValue(suggestion) {
    return suggestion.item.name;
},

shouldRenderSuggestions

This function will tell vue-autosuggest if it should display the suggestions popover

/**
 * @param {Array} size - total results displayed
 * @param {Boolean} loading - value that indicates if vue-autosuggest _thinks_ that the 
 *                            the popover should be open (e.g. if user hit escape, or
 *                            user clicked away)
 * @returns {Boolean}
 */
shouldRenderSuggestions (size, loading) {
  // This is the default behavior
  return size >= 0 && !loading
}

Events

Below are the list of supported events. @ is short-hand for v-on.

| Prop | Returns | Description | | :-------------------------------- | :-------------------- | :-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | | @selected | suggestionItem, index | suggestion select handler. equivalent to sectionConfigs on-selected but for all items | | @input, @focus, @blur, etc. | * | there is a transparent wrapper on the underlying <input /> so vue-autosuggest will use any DOM event you pass it for listening. This is implemented using v-on:<event>. | | @opened, @closed | * | suggestions visibility handler, indicates when the suggestions are opened and closed. This is called alongside shouldRenderSuggestions. | | @item-changed | suggestionItem, index | when keying through the results, this event signals which item is highlighted before being selected. |

Browser support

For IE11 and below, some functionality may not work. For example, you will have to manually polyfill Node.prototype.contains
