React Search Autocomplete Usage

import React from 'react'
import './App.css'
import { ReactSearchAutocomplete } from 'react-search-autocomplete'

function App() {
  // note: the id field is mandatory
  const items = [
    {
      id: 0,
      name: 'Cobol'
    },
    {
      id: 1,
      name: 'JavaScript'
    },
    {
      id: 2,
      name: 'Basic'
    },
    {
      id: 3,
      name: 'PHP'
    },
    {
      id: 4,
      name: 'Java'
    }
  ]

  const handleOnSearch = (string, results) => {
    // onSearch will have as the first callback parameter
    // the string searched and for the second the results.
    console.log(string, results)
  }

  const handleOnHover = (result) => {
    // the item hovered
    console.log(result)
  }

  const handleOnSelect = (item) => {
    // the item selected
    console.log(item)
  }

  const handleOnFocus = () => {
    console.log('Focused')
  }

  const formatResult = (item) => {
    return (
      <>
        <span style={{ display: 'block', textAlign: 'left' }}>id: {item.id}</span>
        <span style={{ display: 'block', textAlign: 'left' }}>name: {item.name}</span>
      </>
    )
  }

  return (
    <div className="App">
      <header className="App-header">
        <div style={{ width: 400 }}>
          <ReactSearchAutocomplete
            items={items}
            onSearch={handleOnSearch}
            onHover={handleOnHover}
            onSelect={handleOnSelect}
            onFocus={handleOnFocus}
            autoFocus
            formatResult={formatResult}
          />
        </div>
      </header>
    </div>
  )
}

export default App

With TypeScript

  type Item = {
    id: number;
    name: string;
  }

  <ReactSearchAutocomplete<Item> ... />

<ReactSearchAutocomplete> Props:

{
  items,
  // The list of items that can be filtered, it can be an array of
  // any type of object. Note: the id field is mandatory.
  // By default the search will be done on the
  // property "name", to change this behaviour, change the `fuseOptions`
  // prop. Remember that the component uses the key "name" in your
  // items list to display the result. If your list of items does not
  // have a "name" key, use `resultStringKeyName` to tell what key
  // (string) to use to display in the results.
  fuseOptions,
  // To know more about fuse params, visit https://fusejs.io/
  //
  // By default set to:
  // {
  //   shouldSort: true,
  //   threshold: 0.6,
  //   location: 0,
  //   distance: 100,
  //   maxPatternLength: 32,
  //   minMatchCharLength: 1,
  //   keys: [
  //     "name",
  //   ]
  // }
  //
  // `keys` represent the keys in `items` where the search will be
  // performed.
  //
  // Imagine for example that I want to search in `items` by `title`
  // and `description` in the following items, and display the `title`;
  // this is how to do it:
  //
  //   const items = [
  //     {
  //       id: 0,
  //       title: 'Titanic',
  //       description: 'A movie about love'
  //     },
  //     {
  //       id: 1,
  //       title: 'Dead Poets Society',
  //       description: 'A movie about poetry and the meaning of life'
  //     }
  //   ]
  //
  // I can pass the fuseOptions prop as follows:
  //
  //   <ReactSearchAutocomplete
  //     items={items}
  //     fuseOptions={{ keys: ["title", "description"] }}
  //     // necessary, otherwise the results will be blank
  //     resultStringKeyName="title"
  //   />
  //
  resultStringKeyName,
  // The key in `items` that contains the string to display in the
  // results
  inputSearchString,
  // By changing this prop, you can manually set the search string.
  inputDebounce,
  // Default value: 200. When the user is typing, before
  // calling onSearch wait this amount of ms.
  onSearch,
  // The callback function called when the user is searching
  onHover,
  // THe callback function called when the user hovers a result
  onSelect,
  // The callback function called when the user selects an item
  // from the filtered list.
  onFocus,
  // The callback function called when the user focuses the input.
  onClear,
  // The callback called when the user clears the input box by clicking
  // on the clear icon.
  showIcon,
  // Default value: true. If set to false, the icon is hidden.
  showClear,
  // Default value: true. If set to false, the clear icon is hidden.
  maxResults,
  // Default value: 10. The max number of results to show at once.
  placeholder,
  // Default value: "". The placeholder of the search box.
  autoFocus,
  // Default value: false. If set to true, automatically
  // set focus on the input.
  styling,
  // The styling prop allows you to customize the
  // look of the searchbox
  // Default values:
  // {
  //   height: "44px",
  //   border: "1px solid #dfe1e5",
  //   borderRadius: "24px",
  //   backgroundColor: "white",
  //   boxShadow: "rgba(32, 33, 36, 0.28) 0px 1px 6px 0px",
  //   hoverBackgroundColor: "#eee",
  //   color: "#212121",
  //   fontSize: "16px",
  //   fontFamily: "Arial",
  //   iconColor: "grey",
  //   lineColor: "rgb(232, 234, 237)",
  //   placeholderColor: "grey",
  //   clearIconMargin: '3px 14px 0 0',
  //   searchIconMargin: '0 0 0 16px'
  // };
  //
  // For example, if you want to change the background
  // color you can pass it in the props:
  // styling={
  //   {
  //     backgroundColor: "black"
  //   }
  // }
  formatResult,
  // The callback function used to format how the results are displayed.
  showNoResults,
  // Optional, default value: true, it will display "No results" or showNoResultsText
  // if no results are found
  showNoResultsText,
  // Optional, default value: "No results", the text to display when no results
  // are found,
  showItemsOnFocus,
  // Optional, default value: false, it will automatically show N (maxResults) number of items
  // when focusing the input element
  maxLength,
  // Optional: limits the number of characters that can be typed in the input
  className,
  // Optional: allows using a custom class to customize CSS on all contained elements
