Article search autocomplete

[azaky]

Currently, the user has to type the full article name in the input box. It's nice to have a search autocomplete.

To give you an idea, this is the built-in search autocomplete in Wikipedia:

If one can reuse that, that's good. But creating for scratch is fine as well.

This is an API that you can use: https://en.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=opensearch&format=json&formatversion=2&search=book&namespace=0&limit=10

Do we want to call wiki API directly or create a proxy in the wikigame server before call wiki API?

Wondering if we need additional process before calling Wiki API

(havent read the API though :p)

[azaky]

I think using the existing wiki API is fine, as this is only for the autocomplete.

FYI, article validation on server side is already implemented here b26fbf1, so inputting values like "usa" will get automatically transformed to "United_States".

Okay then, let me pick this up 🙏
