Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

See installation guide for more options.

Table of contents

What is it

This is a simple yet feature-rich suggestion/autocomplete component for Vue.js.

Actually, it's so feature rich, that it's possible to do crazy stuff with it, like

  • Imitating drop-downs and drop-down menus
  • Turn suggestions list into an actual suggestions table
  • Work with ANY type of custom input passed (like type=button, radio and etc.)
  • ... And many more things

And, as a bonus, it is very light.

Features

  • v-model support.
  • Automatic accessibility attributes (WAI-ARIA complete)
  • Switching v-model type (select/input).
  • Custom input element through default slot.
  • Custom list items through named scoped slots.
  • All HTML5-valid props for default input element are provided (type, tabindex and etc...).
  • Customizable keyboard controls.
  • Rich and simple API.
  • CSS classes for quick and easy restyling.
  • Many build variants to choose from.
  • Flexible and customizable component design.
  • Optional polyfills for IE importable from the lib.

All of the props, events and slots are OPTIONAL for this component, so it can be used without any configuration at all.

New features?

If you feel that something important is missing (or found a bug) - feel free to create an issue. :)


Examples:

To use the component just install via NPM:

npm install --save vue-simple-suggest

Then, in your Vue.js component/page do the following...

Simple example

If you need to suggest things from a static array:

<!-- Some component.vue -->
<template>
  <vue-simple-suggest
    v-model="chosen"
    :list="simpleSuggestionList"
    :filter-by-query="true">
<!-- Filter by input text to only show the matching results -->
  </vue-simple-suggest>

  <br>

  <p>Chosen element: {{ chosen }}</p>
</template>

<script>
  import VueSimpleSuggest from 'vue-simple-suggest'
  import 'vue-simple-suggest/dist/styles.css' // Optional CSS

  export default {
    components: {
      VueSimpleSuggest
    },
    data() {
      return {
        chosen: ''
      }
    },
    methods: {
      simpleSuggestionList() {
        return [
          'Vue.js',
          'React.js',
          'Angular.js'
        ]
      }
    }
  }
</script>

Async example

If you're dealing with async data from server (example using https://swapi.co/):

<!-- Some component.vue -->
<template>
  <vue-simple-suggest
    v-model="chosen"
    display-attribute="name"
    value-attribute="url"
    :list="getSuggestionList"
  ></vue-simple-suggest>

  <br>

  <p>Chosen element: {{ chosen }}</p>
</template>

<script>
  import VueSimpleSuggest from 'vue-simple-suggest'
  import 'vue-simple-suggest/dist/styles.css' // Optional CSS

  export default {
    components: {
      VueSimpleSuggest
    },
    data() {
      return {
        chosen: ''
      }
    },
    methods: {
      // Function returning a promise as a factory for suggestion lists.
      //
      // vue-simple-suggest calls it automatically when an update to the list is needed,
      // no need for watchers here!
      getSuggestionList() {
        return fetch('https://swapi.co/api/people', { method: 'GET' })
          .then(response => response.json())
          .then(json => json.results); /*
          returns a promise with a list of star-wars characters
        */
      }
    }
  }
</script>

For a more advanced example (using wikipedia search) see our example source.

Default Controls

New in v1.2.0

These are default keyboard shortcuts.

Can be customized with the controls prop. All fields in this controls object are optional.

Default scheme:

|Key (key code) | Description| |-|-| |Escape (27) | If the suggestions list is shown - hide it. Defined by hideList property. | |ArrowDown (40) | If the suggestions list is hidden - show it. Defined by showList property. | |ArrowUp (38) / ArrowDown (40) | Cycle (hover) through suggestions. Defined by selectionUp/selectionDown properties respectfully. | |Enter (13) | If the list is shown - chooses the highlighted element. Defined by select property.| |(Ctrl/Shift) + Space (32) | Select the first element in the list. Defined by autocomplete property. Works with Ctrl modifier key or Shift modifier key. | |(Ctrl/Shift) + Enter (13) | Same as previous, but also hides the suggestions list. |

JS object:

{
  selectionUp: [38],
  selectionDown: [40],
  select: [13],
  showList: [40],
  hideList: [27],
  autocomplete: [32, 13]
}

  <!-- v-model on input itself is useless -->
  <input class="optional-custom-input">

  <!-- Appears o top of the list -->
  <template slot="misc-item-above" slot-scope="{ suggestions, query }">
    <div class="misc-item">
      <span>You're searching for {{ query }}.</span>
    </div>
    <div class="misc-item">
      <span>{{ suggestions.length }} suggestions are shown...</span>
    </div>
    <hr>
  </template>

  <div slot="suggestion-item" slot-scope="{ suggestion }" class="custom">{{ suggestion.title }}</div>

  <!-- Appears below the list -->
  <div class="misc-item" slot="misc-item-below" slot-scope="{ suggestions }" v-if="loading">
    <span>Loading...</span>
  </div>
</vue-simple-suggest>

CSS class structure

If there's a need to customize the appearance of the component, here's the internal class-structure:

// .designed is applied only if `destyled` prop is false.
.vue-simple-suggest.designed.focus // .focus is applied whenever the component is focused.
  .input-wrapper
    .default-input // Replaced with your custom input if default slot is provided.
  .suggestions // Also has transition classes, see below.
    .suggest-item

If you wish to use your existing classes, or frameworks like Bootstrap you can inject your own classes using the 'styles' prop:

<!-- Some component.vue -->
<template>
  <vue-simple-suggest
    v-model="chosen"
    :list="simpleSuggestionList"
    :styles="autoCompleteStyle"
    :destyled=true
    :filter-by-query="true">
  </vue-simple-suggest>
</template>

<script>
  ...
  export default {
    ...
    data() {
      return {
        autoCompleteStyle : {
          vueSimpleSuggest: "position-relative",
          inputWrapper: "",
          defaultInput : "form-control",
          suggestions: "position-absolute list-group z-1000",
          suggestItem: "list-group-item"
        }
      }
    },
    ...
  }
</script>`

<style lang="scss">
.z-1000 {
  z-index: 1000;
}
.hover {
  background-color: #007bff;
  color: #fff;
}
</style>

Scheme:

|Property | Description| |-|-| |vueSimpleSuggest | Additional classname for component's root element. | |inputWrapper | Additional classname for .input-wrapper element. | |defaultInput | Additional classname for input element if no custom input component is given. | |suggestions | Additional classname for suggestions list ul element. | |miscItemAbove | Classname for misc-item-above slot wrapper (li element itself). | |suggestItem | Additional classname for suggestion item li element. | |miscItemBelow | Classname for misc-item-below slot wrapper (li element itself). |


Transitions

New in v1.8.0

You can also define custom list transitions by defining css rules for the transition named vue-simple-suggest on the .suggestions div:

.suggestions {
  /* It's improtant to have a cpecific pivot point for transition:*/
  opacity: 1;
}

.vue-simple-suggest-enter-active.suggestions,
.vue-simple-suggest-leave-active.suggestions {
  /* Transition length here:*/
  transition: opacity .2s;
}

.vue-simple-suggest-enter.suggestions,
.vue-simple-suggest-leave-to.suggestions {
  /* Transition rule for "disengaged" element:*/
  opacity: 0;
}

API definitions

Props

| Name | Type | Default | Description | |--------------------------------|----------|----------|--------------------------------------------------------------| | controls v1.2.0 | Object | See default controls | Determines the keyboard shortcuts in key-codes (for browser-compatibility purposes). Arrays provide the ability to assign multiple keys to one action.

mode

New in v1.4.0

Determines the event, that triggers v-model. Can be one of 'input' (default) or 'select'.

For example, if 'input' is chosen - then v-model will update the value each time an input event is fired, setting the input's string.

Same is for 'select' - v-model changes only when something is selected from the list, setting the selected value (string, object or whatever) to its argument.

A proper use-case for it being when one wants to use the component only for selection binding and custom input for text binding:

<vue-simple-suggest v-model="selected" mode="select">
  <input v-model="text">
</vue-simple-suggest>

Emitted Events

| Name | Arguments | Description | |-----------------|-----------------------------|--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | input | HTML input event | An outward projection of the current input's event. | | focus | HTML focus event | An outward projection of the current input's event. | | blur | HTML focus event | An outward projection of the current input's event. | | select | Selected suggestion | Fires on suggestion selection (via a mouse click or enter keypress). | | hover | Hovered suggestion, target element | Fires each time a new suggestion is highlighted (via a cursor movement or keyboard arrows). | | suggestion-click | Selected suggestion, HTML click event | Fires on suggestion element click. | | show-list | - | Fires each time the suggestion list is toggled to be shown. | | hide-list | - | Fires each time the suggestion list is being hidden. | | request-start | Current input value (query) | Fires each time a list function starts executing. | | request-done | Resulting suggestions list | Fires when a list function successfully returns a result and forwards that result as an argument. | | request-failed | The interrrupting exception | Fires if an exception occurs during the execution of a list funciton. |

| Name | Default | Description | |------|-----------|-------------| |selected| null | Currently selected element. | |hovered| null | Currently hovered element. | |suggestions| [] | Current suggestions list. | |textLength| 0 | Length of the text in the input. | |listShown| false | Is suggestion list shown. | |inputElement| null | Currently used HTMLInputElement. | |canSend| true | Whether the assigned getListFuncion can be executed. | |timeoutInstance| null | The timeout until next getListFunction execution. | |text| $props.value | Current input text. | |slotIsComponent| false | Whether this current custom input is a vue-component. | |listIsRequest| - | Whether the list prop is a function. | |input| - | A ref to the current input (component or vanilla). | |hoveredIndex| - | The current hovered element index. | |controlScheme| Default Controls | The current controls scheme. | |isPlainSuggestion| false | Whether the current suggestions list consists of plain strings (not objects). | |isClicking| false | true if the user currently clicks. | |isOverList| false | true if the user currently hovers over suggestions list. | |isInFocus| false | true if the component is currently in focus. | |isTabbed| false | true if the user pressed tab, while the component is in focus. | |isSelectedUpToDate| false | true if the user hasn't done any inputs since the last selection, so the selection is still relevant. |


Slots

Custom input

default slot (optional)

Supports nesting. Input props can be passed to a custom input to avoid their processing by vue-simple-suggest. Defaults to a simple input with props passed to vue-simple-suggest.

Warning: v-model on a custom input IS NOT the same as v-model on vue-simple-suggest!

<!--  Default HTMLInputElement example:  -->
<vue-simple-suggest v-model="model" placeholder="Text here" type="search" pattern="[a-z]+"/>
<!--  Vanilla HTMLInputElement example 1:  -->
<vue-simple-suggest>
  <input pattern="[a-z]+">
</vue-simple-suggest>
<!--  Vanilla HTMLInputElement example 2:  -->
<vue-simple-suggest v-model="model" placeholder="Text here" type="search">
</vue-simple-suggest>
<!--  Vanilla HTMLInputElement example 3 (fully equivalent to the second example):  -->
<vue-simple-suggest v-model="model">
  <input placeholder="Text here" type="search">
</vue-simple-suggest>
<!--  Vanilla HTMLInputElement example 4 (nested):  -->
<vue-simple-suggest v-model="model">
  <div>
    <section>
      <input type="email">
    </section>
  </div>
</vue-simple-suggest>
<!--  Vue component example (also supports nesting):  -->
<vue-simple-suggest v-model="vModelGoesHere">
  <my-custom-input-somponent :value="initialInputValueGoesHere"></my-custom-input-somponent>
</vue-simple-suggest>

Custom input component caveats:

To work with the vue-simple-suggest your custom input component has to follow certain standard behaviours.

Custom input component must (in order to work properly):

  • Emit an input event.
  • Emit focus and blur events.
  • Have a value prop.

Custom input component should (in order to avoid usage limitations):

  • Not stop any event propagations from internal input HTML element.
  • Forward an original event argument with focus and blur events.

If vue-simple-suggest with your custom component doesn't seem to react to outside variable changes - bind both components' v-model to the same variable, like so:

<vue-simple-suggest v-model="model">
  <my-custom-input-somponent v-model="model"></my-custom-input-somponent>
</vue-simple-suggest>
Accessibility on custom input

New in v1.9.0

vue-simple-suggest automatically injects 3 necessary ARIA attributes for the default <input> element and any custom input, as long as your custom input component contains an html <input> element.

These attributes ensure that the autocomplete can be used by users who rely on Screen Readers.

| Name | Value | Description | |-----------------------|------------------------------------|----------------------------------------| | aria-autocomplete | "list" | Indicates that the autocomplete behavior of the text input is to suggest a list of possible values in a popup. | | aria-controls | IDREF of suggestions list | IDREF of the popup element that lists suggested values. | | aria-activedescendant | IDREF of hovered option | Enables assistive technologies to know which element the application regards as focused while DOM focus remains on the input element. |

Custom suggestion item

suggestion-item slot (optional)

Description

Allows custom html-definitons of the suggestion items in a list. Defaults to <span>{{ displayAttribute(suggestion) }}</span>

Accepts the suggestion object and a query text as a slot-scope attribute values.

<!-- Example (book suggestions): -->
<vue-simple-suggest>
  <div slot="suggestion-item" slot-scope="{ suggestion, query }">
    <div>{{ suggestion.title }} by {{ suggestion.author }}</div>
  </div>
</vue-simple-suggest>

Custom buttons inside of suggestion items

If you want to add some action buttons to the suggetion items, just use the .stop directive modifier to prevent the default suggestion-click:

<!-- Example (editable book suggestion): -->
<vue-simple-suggest>
  <div slot="suggestion-item" slot-scope="{ suggestion, query }">
    <span>{{ suggestion.title }} by {{ suggestion.author }}</span>
    <button @click.stop="remove(suggestion)">remove from list</button>
    <button @click.stop="like(suggestion)">add to favorites</button>
  </div>
</vue-simple-suggest>

In this case, the buttons will ONLY execute the bound method and will not select the suggested item.

Manual autocomplete

If there's a need to autocomplete the suggestion in the input instead of selecting it (like in mobile suggestions of google search), you can use the autocomplete() function in the slot's scope:

<!-- Example: -->
<vue-simple-suggest>
  <div slot="suggestion-item" slot-scope="{ suggestion, autocomplete }">
    <span>{{ suggestion.title }} by {{ suggestion.author }}</span>
    <button @click.stop="autocomplete()">Complete input</button>
  </div>
</vue-simple-suggest>

or in the ref methods:

<template>
  <vue-simple-suggest ref="suggest">
    <div slot="suggestion-item" slot-scope="{ suggestion }">
      <span>{{ suggestion.title }} by {{ suggestion.author }}</span>
      <button @click.stop="onAutocompleteButtonClick(suggestion)">Complete input</button>
    </div>
  </vue-simple-suggest>
</template>

<script>
export default {
  //...
  methods: {
    onAutocompleteButtonClick(suggestion) {
      this.$refs.suggest.autocompleteText(suggestion);
    }
  }
  //...
}
</script>

Ref Data

In cooperation with ref fields this slot can be used to drastically transform the suggestion list behaviour.

One of the simplest examples - highlighting the query text in the results:

<div slot="suggestion-item" slot-scope="scope">
  <span v-html="boldenSuggestion(scope)"></span>
</div>
boldenSuggestion(scope) {
  if (!scope) return scope;

  const { suggestion, query } = scope;

  let result = this.$refs.suggestComponent.displayProperty(suggestion);

  if (!query) return result;

  const texts = query.split(/[\s-_/\\|\.]/gm).filter(t => !!t) || [''];
  return result.replace(new RegExp('(.*?)(' + texts.join('|') + ')(.*?)','gi'), '$1<b>$2</b>$3');
}

Result via Google Books search API:

Custom miscellaneous item slots

misc-item-above and misc-item-below slots (optional)

Allow custom elements to be shown in suggestion list. These elements never dissapear from the list, neither can they be selected nor hovered on.

They can be used for decoration, loaders, error messages and etc.

These slots don't have defaults, so they are not shown until defined.

Accept the suggestions array and a query text as a slot-scope attribute values.

<!-- Examples: -->
<vue-simple-suggest>
  <template slot="misc-item-above" slot-scope="{ suggestions, query }">
    <div class="misc-item">
      <span>You're searching for {{ query }}.</span>
    </div>
    <div class="misc-item">
      <span>{{ suggestions.length }} suggestions are shown...</span>
    </div>
  </template>

  <div slot="misc-item-below" slot-scope="{ suggestions }" v-if="isLoading" class="misc-item">
    <span>Loading...</span>
  </div>
</vue-simple-suggest>

These slots can also be used to handle empty results, like this:

<!-- Main slot template -->
<template slot="misc-item-above" slot-scope="{ suggestions, query }">
  <div class="misc-item">
    <span>You're searching for '{{ query }}'.</span>
  </div>

  <!-- Sub-template if have any suggestions -->
  <template v-if="suggestions.length > 0">
    <div class="misc-item">
      <span>{{ suggestions.length }} suggestions are shown...</span>
    </div>
    <hr>
  </template>

  <!-- Show "No result" otherwise, if not loading new ones -->
  <div class="misc-item" v-else-if="!loading">
    <span>No results</span>
  </div>
</template>
