turnstone-recent-searches

This is a plugin for the Turnstone autocomplete component.

It displays the user's most recent searches when the search input receives focus and before any value is entered.

Installation

To install:

$ npm install turnstone turnstone-recent-searches

Usage

import React from 'react'
import Turnstone from 'turnstone'
import recentSearchesPlugin from 'turnstone-recent-searches'
import { fruits, vegetables } from './data'

const listbox = [
  {
    data: fruits,
    searchType: 'startswith',
    name: 'Fruits'
  },
  {
    data: vegetables,
    searchType: 'contains',
    name: 'Vegetables'
  }
]

const App = () => {
  return (
    <Turnstone
      clearButton={true}
      listbox={listbox}
      listboxIsImmutable={true}
      placeholder="Type something fruity"
      plugins={[recentSearchesPlugin]}
    />
  )
}

export default App

Note that if you are already passing a defaultListbox prop, the recent searches will be added as the first group and can be specified with a ratio value etc, just like any other group.

The defaultListboxIsImmutable prop will be set to false given that recently selected items change upon each user selection.

The following is an example of a defaultListbox prop being supplied alongside the recent searches plugin. Here, ideally the recent searches will take up to 6 of the 10 available slots and the popular items will take up 4.

import React from 'react'
import Turnstone from 'turnstone'
import recentSearchesPlugin from 'turnstone-recent-searches'
import { fruits, vegetables, popular } from './data'

const listbox = [
  {
    data: fruits,
    searchType: 'startswith',
    name: 'Fruits'
  },
  {
    data: vegetables,
    searchType: 'contains',
    name: 'Vegetables'
  }
]

const defaultListbox = [
  {
    data: popular,
    id: 'popular',
    name: 'Popular Fruits & Veg'
    ratio: 4
  }
]

const plugins = [
  [
    recentSearchesPlugin,
    {
      id: 'recent'
      name: 'Recent Selections',
      ratio: 6
    }
  ]
]

const App = () => {
  return (
    <Turnstone
      clearButton={true}
      defaultListbox={defaultListbox}
      listbox={listbox}
      listboxIsImmutable={true}
      maxItems={10}
      placeholder="Type something fruity"
      plugins={plugins}
    />
  )
}

export default App
