Usage

import the package

import { AutocompleteDropdown } from 'react-native-autocomplete-dropdown';

Dataset item format

dataSet property must be an array of objects or null. Object required keys are:

{
    id: 'some uniq string id',
    title: 'list item title'
}

Example with local Dataset

const [selectedItem, setSelectedItem] = useState(null);

<AutocompleteDropdown
  clearOnFocus={false}
  closeOnBlur={true}
  closeOnSubmit={false}
  initialValue={{ id: '2' }} // or just '2'
  onSelectItem={setSelectedItem}
  dataSet={[
    { id: '1', title: 'Alpha' },
    { id: '2', title: 'Beta' },
    { id: '3', title: 'Gamma' },
  ]}
/>;

Example with remote requested Dataset

import React, { memo, useCallback, useRef, useState } from 'react'
import { Button, Dimensions, Text, View, Platform } from 'react-native'
import { AutocompleteDropdown } from 'react-native-autocomplete-dropdown'

import Feather from 'react-native-vector-icons/Feather'
Feather.loadFont()

export const RemoteDataSetExample2 = memo(() => {
  const [loading, setLoading] = useState(false)
  const [suggestionsList, setSuggestionsList] = useState(null)
  const [selectedItem, setSelectedItem] = useState(null)
  const dropdownController = useRef(null)

  const searchRef = useRef(null)

  const getSuggestions = useCallback(async q => {
    const filterToken = q.toLowerCase()
    console.log('getSuggestions', q)
    if (typeof q !== 'string' || q.length < 3) {
      setSuggestionsList(null)
      return
    }
    setLoading(true)
    const response = await fetch('https://jsonplaceholder.typicode.com/posts')
    const items = await response.json()
    const suggestions = items
      .filter(item => item.title.toLowerCase().includes(filterToken))
      .map(item => ({
        id: item.id,
        title: item.title,
      }))
    setSuggestionsList(suggestions)
    setLoading(false)
  }, [])

  const onClearPress = useCallback(() => {
    setSuggestionsList(null)
  }, [])

  const onOpenSuggestionsList = useCallback(isOpened => {}, [])

Troubleshooting

zIndex hell on iOS

As decribed here https://docs.expo.dev/ui-programming/z-index/ on iOS for absolute positioned items we must respect the zIndex of the element parent.

So for example if you do smth like

          <View style={[styles.section]}>
            <Text style={styles.sectionTitle}>First</Text>
            <AutocompleteDropdown
              dataSet={[
                { id: '1', title: 'Alpha' },
                { id: '2', title: 'Beta' },
                { id: '3', title: 'Gamma' },
              ]}
            />
          </View>
          <View style={[styles.section]}>
            <Text style={styles.sectionTitle}>Second</Text>
            <AutocompleteDropdown
              dataSet={[
                { id: '1', title: 'Alpha' },
                { id: '2', title: 'Beta' },
                { id: '3', title: 'Gamma' },
              ]}
            />
          </View>

you would see Screenshot 2022-04-24 at 20 59 38

But if it change with calculated zIndex:

          <View
            style={[styles.section, Platform.select({ ios: { zIndex: 10 } })]}>
            <Text style={styles.sectionTitle}>First</Text>
            <AutocompleteDropdown
              dataSet={[
                { id: '1', title: 'Alpha' },
                { id: '2', title: 'Beta' },
                { id: '3', title: 'Gamma' },
              ]}
            />
          </View>
          <View
            style={[styles.section, Platform.select({ ios: { zIndex: 9 } })]}>
            <Text style={styles.sectionTitle}>Second</Text>
            <AutocompleteDropdown
              dataSet={[
                { id: '1', title: 'Alpha' },
                { id: '2', title: 'Beta' },
                { id: '3', title: 'Gamma' },
              ]}
            />
          </View>

it will be rendered as expected Screenshot 2022-04-24 at 21 03 16

And the same, if you want render dropdown list to up direction, you should switch zIndexes respectively
