For more advanced usage, check out the examples below, and explore the properties you can use.

header/footer

Slots for injecting content around the results/input. Useful for header/footer like slots or empty state.

<vue-autosuggest ...>
  <template slot="before-input"> content before the <input /> goes here </template>
  <template slot="after-input"> content after the <input /> goes here </template>
  <template slot="before-suggestions"> content before the <ul> goes here </template>
  <template slot="before-section-<section.name e.g. 'default'>"> section header content for specific section goes here </template>
  <template slot="after-section-<section.name e.g. 'default'>"> footer content goes here for specific section. </template>
  <template slot="after-section"> Default footer content for all sections </template>
  <template slot="after-suggestions"> content after the <ul> goes here </template>
</vue-autosuggest>

suggestion item (i.e. default slot)

Used to style each suggestion inside the <li> tag. Using scoped slots you have access to the suggestion item inside the v-for suggestions loop. This gives you the power of Vue templating, since vue-autosuggest does not have an opinion about how you render the items in your list.

<vue-autosuggest>
  <template slot-scope="{suggestion}">
    <!-- suggestion.name corresponds to which section the item is in -->
    <div v-if="suggestion.name === 'blog'">
      <!-- suggestion.item corresponds to the suggestion object -->
      <a target="_blank" :href="suggestion.item.url">{{suggestion.item.value}}</a>
    </div>
    <div v-else>{{suggestion.item}}</div>
  </template>
</vue-autosuggest>

This slot will be overridden when the render-suggestion prop is used.

Prop Type Required Description
suggestions Array βœ“ Suggestions to be rendered. e.g.suggestions: [{data: ['harry','ron','hermione']}]
input-props Object βœ“ Add props to the <input>.
section-configs Object Define multiple sections <input>.
render-suggestion Function Tell vue-autosuggest how to render inside the <li> tag. Overrides what is inside the default suggestion template slot.
get-suggestion-value Function Tells vue-autosuggest what to put in the <input/> value
@selected Function βœ“ suggestion select handler. equivalent to sectionConfigs on-selected but for all items
component-attr-id-autosuggest String id of entire component
component-attr-class-autosuggest-results-container String class of container of results container
component-attr-class-autosuggest-results String class of results container

inputProps

Prop Type Required Description
id String βœ“ id attribute on <input>.
Any DOM Props * You can add any props to <input> as the component will v-bind inputProps. Similar to rest spread in JSX. See more details here: https://vuejs.org/v2/api/#v-bind. The name attribute is set to "q" by default.

sectionConfigs

Multiple sections can be defined in the sectionConfigs prop which defines the control behavior for each section.

Prop Type Required Description
on-selected Function βœ“ Determine behavior for what should happen when a suggestion is selected. e.g. Submit a form, open a link, update a vue model, tweet at Ken Wheeler etc.
limit Number Limit each section by some value. Default: Infinity

Below we have defined a default section and a blog section. The blog section has a component type of url-section which corresponds to which component the Autosuggest loads. When type is not defined, Vue-autosuggest will use a built in DefaultSection.vue component.

sectionConfigs: {
    'default': {
        limit: 6,
        onSelected: function(item, originalInput) {
            console.log(item, originalInput, `Selected "${item.item}"`);
        }
    },
    'blog': {
        limit: 3,
        type: "url-section",
        onSelected: function() {
            console.log("url: " + item.item.url);
        }
    }
}

renderSuggestion

This function can be used to tell vue-autosuggest how to render the html inside the <li> tag when you do not want to use the default template slot for suggestions but would rather have the power of javascript / jsx.

In its most basic form it just returns an object property:

renderSuggestion(suggestion) {
    return suggestion.name;
},

But usually it returns a JSX fragment, which is transformed into a virtual node description with babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx:

renderSuggestion(suggestion) {
    return <div style={{ color: "red" }}>{suggestion.name}</div>;
},

If you're not using babel-plugin-transform-vue-jsx, you can create the virtual node description yourself:

renderSuggestion(suggestion) {
    return this.$createElement('div', { 'style': { color: 'red'} }, suggestion.name);
},

getSuggestionValue

This function will tell vue-autosuggest what to put in the <input/> as the value.

getSuggestionValue(suggestion) {
    return suggestion.item.name;
},
