Textarea autocomplete demo

This is a sample project implementing a dropdown search (triggered by the @ character) directly inside a textarea using Algolia.

You can try the live demos or follow the guide to build your own.

Features

• A @mention feature where users can reference people, places, resources, ...
• A Twitter-like hashtag feature
• An 'Advanced search UI', with dynamic refinements: see Abacus blogpost

Variations

We build 4 variations on the same principle, with increasing complexity. Feel free to have a look at the code or read the guide to see how to build your own.
