Awesomplete

How to use Awesomplete

Awesomplete is a simple yet powerful autocomplete library written in JavaScript. It can be easily integrated into any web application to enhance the user experience by providing auto-complete functionality for input fields. Here's how you can use it:

1. First, download and include the Awesomplete library in your project. You can do this by downloading the library from the official website or by using a package manager like npm or yarn.

2. Next, create an input field in your HTML page and add the "awesomplete" class to it. This tells the library to apply autocompletion to this field.

   <input class="awesomplete" />
   

3. Initialize the Awesomplete object with the input field as a parameter. You can also specify options like minimum characters required to trigger autocomplete, the list of suggestions, etc.

   new Awesomplete(inputField, { minChars: 3, list: ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"] });
   

4. Finally, you need to provide a list of suggestions for the input field. This can be done in two ways:

   1. Static list: You can provide a static list of suggestions as an array.

      new Awesomplete(inputField, {
          minChars: 3,
          list: ["Apple", "Banana", "Cherry"]
      });
      

   2. Dynamic list: You can also fetch the suggestions dynamically from a server using AJAX.

      new Awesomplete(inputField, {
          minChars: 3,
          replace: function (text) {
              this.input.value = text.value;
          },
          list: function (text, callback) {
              // make an ajax call to fetch the suggestions
              $.get("/api/suggestions?query=" + text, function (data) {
                  callback(data);
              });
          }
      });
      

That's it! You should now have a working autocomplete field on your web page using Awesomplete.
