Note: this is a "labs" component. While functional, these tasks are prerequisites to promotion to BrightspaceUI "official" status:

• Design organization buy-in
• design.d2l entry
• Architectural sign-off
• Continuous integration
• Cross-browser testing
• Unit tests (if applicable)
• Accessibility tests
• Visual diff tests
• Localization with Serge (if applicable)
• Demo page
• README documentation

Web component for integrating autocomplete with text inputs

Installation

npm install @brightspace-ui-labs/autocomplete

Components

Text Input

<d2l-labs-autocomplete-input-text id="my-autocomplete"></d2l-labs-autocomplete-input-text>

const autocomplete = document.getElementById('my-autocomplete')
autocomplete.data = [
	{ value: 'Option 1' },
	{ value: 'Option 2' }
]

/**
 * The filter function can be changed - it should accept two arguments (value, filter)
 * and return true if `value` should be in the filtered list.
 * E.g., Only return values that match the entered filter exactly
 */
autocomplete.filterFn = (value, filter) => value === filter;

Remote Source

Set remote-source on the autocomplete.

Add an event listener for the d2l-labs-autocomplete-filter-change event, and set the suggestions manually after fetching the filtered options.

E.g.,

<d2l-labs-autocomplete-input-text id="my-autocomplete" remote-source></d2l-labs-autocomplete-input-text>

autocomplete.addEventListener('d2l-labs-autocomplete-filter-change', event => {
	fetchResultsFromRemoteSource(event.detail.value)
		.then(results => autocomplete.setSuggestions(results))
})

Events

• d2l-labs-autocomplete-filter-change (remote source only)
  • Emitted whenever the filter changes, provided the filter is at least min-length characters long (default: 1). Also fires when the input is cleared.
• d2l-labs-autocomplete-suggestion-selected
  • Emitted when a suggestion from the dropdown is selected (keyboard or mouse).
