<myuw-search>

Getting Started

Include the component as follows:

<!-- import the module -->
<script type="module" src="https://cdn.my.wisc.edu/@myuw-web-components/myuw-search@latest/myuw-search.min.mjs"></script>

<!-- fallback for browsers without ES2015 module support -->
<script nomodule src="https://cdn.my.wisc.edu/@myuw-web-components/myuw-search@latest/myuw-search.min.js"></script>

<myuw-search
  slot="myuw-search"
  input-label="Search MyUW"
  button-label="Submit search"
  icon="search"
></myuw-search>

Note: The evergreen "latest" version can be used for convenience, but in production settings it is recommended to use the latest release version specifically, and upgrade only after testing!

Listen for the myuw-search CustomEvent and process the value how you like:

/*
  1. Listen for myuw-search event
  2. Get the event data from event.detail.value
  3. Do what you want with the search term!
*/
document.body.addEventListener('myuw-search', (event) => {
  const valueFromSearchBar = event.detail.value // "detail" object is part of CustomEvent spec
  /*
    Perform search logic here. For example:
      - Pass the search value as a parameter to your app's search page
  */
}, false );

Configurable properties via attributes

• inputLabel (input-label): Text to use in the aria-label and placeholder of the search field
• buttonLabel (button-label): Text to use for the aria-label of the search button
• icon (icon): Text name of the material icon to use for the submit button ("search" by default)
