<text-expander> element

Activates a suggestion menu to expand text snippets as you type.

Installation

$ npm install --save @github/text-expander-element

Usage

Script

Import as ES modules:

import '@github/text-expander-element'

With a script tag:

<script type="module" src="./node_modules/@github/text-expander-element/dist/bundle.js">

Markup

<text-expander keys=": @ #" multiword="#">
  <textarea></textarea>
</text-expander>

Attributes

  • keys is a space separated list of menu activation keys
  • multiword defines whether the expansion should use several words or not
    • you can provide a space separated list of activation keys that should support multi-word matching

Events

text-expander-change is fired when a key is matched. In event.detail you can find:

  • key: The matched key; for example: :.
  • text: The matched text; for example: cat, for :cat.
    • If the key is specified in the multiword attribute then the matched text can contain multiple words; for example cat and dog for :cat and dog.
  • provide: A function to be called when you have the menu results. Takes a Promise with {matched: boolean, fragment: HTMLElement} where matched tells the element whether a suggestion is available, and fragment is the menu content to be displayed on the page.
const expander = document.querySelector('text-expander')

expander.addEventListener('text-expander-change', function(event) {
  const {key, provide, text} = event.detail
  if (key !== ':') return

  const suggestions = document.querySelector('.emoji-suggestions').cloneNode(true)
  suggestions.hidden = false
  for (const suggestion of suggestions.children) {
    if (!suggestion.textContent.match(text)) {
      suggestion.remove()
    }
  }
  provide(Promise.resolve({matched: suggestions.childElementCount > 0, fragment: suggestions}))
})

The returned fragment should be consisted of filtered [role=option] items to be selected. For example:

<ul class="emoji-suggestions" hidden>
  <li role="option" data-value="🐈">🐈 :cat2:</li>
  <li role="option" data-value="🐕">🐕 :dog:</li>
</ul>

text-expander-value is fired when an item is selected. In event.detail you can find:

  • key: The matched key; for example: :.
  • item: The selected item. This would be one of the [role=option]. Use this to work out the value.
  • value: A null value placeholder to replace the query. To replace the text query, simply re-assign this value.
const expander = document.querySelector('text-expander')

expander.addEventListener('text-expander-value', function(event) {
  const {key, item}  = event.detail
  if (key === ':') {
    event.detail.value = item.getAttribute('data-value')
  }
})

text-expander-committed is fired after the underlying input value has been updated in the DOM. In event.detail you can find:

  • input: The HTMLInputElement or HTMLTextAreaElement that just had value changes committed to the DOM.
const expander = document.querySelector('text-expander')

expander.addEventListener('text-expander-committed', function(event) {
  const {input}  = event.detail
})
