Content#
SearchAutocomplete follows the Collection Components API, accepting both static and dynamic collections.
Similar to ComboBox, SearchAutocomplete accepts <Item>
elements as children, each with a key
prop. Basic usage of SearchAutocomplete, seen in the example above, shows multiple options populated with a string.
Static collections, as in this example, can be used when the full list of options is known ahead of time.
Dynamic collections, as shown below, can be used when the options come from an external data source such as an API call, or update over time. Providing the data in this way allows SearchAutocomplete to automatically cache the rendering of each item, which dramatically improves performance.
As seen below, an iterable list of options is passed to the SearchAutocomplete using the defaultItems
prop.
function Example() {
let options = [
{id: 1, name: 'Aerospace'},
{id: 2, name: 'Mechanical'},
{id: 3, name: 'Civil'},
{id: 4, name: 'Biomedical'},
{id: 5, name: 'Nuclear'},
{id: 6, name: 'Industrial'},
{id: 7, name: 'Chemical'},
{id: 8, name: 'Agricultural'},
{id: 9, name: 'Electrical'}
];
return (
<SearchAutocomplete
label="Search engineering majors"
defaultItems={options}>
{item => <Item>{item.name}</Item>}
</SearchAutocomplete>
);
}
function Example() {
let options = [
{id: 1, name: 'Aerospace'},
{id: 2, name: 'Mechanical'},
{id: 3, name: 'Civil'},
{id: 4, name: 'Biomedical'},
{id: 5, name: 'Nuclear'},
{id: 6, name: 'Industrial'},
{id: 7, name: 'Chemical'},
{id: 8, name: 'Agricultural'},
{id: 9, name: 'Electrical'}
];
return (
<SearchAutocomplete
label="Search engineering majors"
defaultItems={options}>
{item => <Item>{item.name}</Item>}
</SearchAutocomplete>
);
}
function Example() {
let options = [
{
id: 1,
name: 'Aerospace'
},
{
id: 2,
name: 'Mechanical'
},
{
id: 3,
name: 'Civil'
},
{
id: 4,
name: 'Biomedical'
},
{
id: 5,
name: 'Nuclear'
},
{
id: 6,
name: 'Industrial'
},
{
id: 7,
name: 'Chemical'
},
{
id: 8,
name:
'Agricultural'
},
{
id: 9,
name: 'Electrical'
}
];
return (
<SearchAutocomplete
label="Search engineering majors"
defaultItems={options}
>
{(item) => (
<Item>
{item.name}
</Item>
)}
</SearchAutocomplete>
);
}
Alternatively, passing your list of options to SearchAutocomplete's items
prop will cause the list of items to be controlled, useful for when you want to provide your own
filtering logic. See the Custom Filtering section for more detail.
Internationalization#
To internationalize a SearchAutocomplete, a localized string should be passed to the children
of each Item
.
For languages that are read right-to-left (e.g. Hebrew and Arabic), the layout of the SearchAutocomplete is automatically flipped.
Labeling#
SearchAutocomplete can be labeled using the label
prop. If the SearchAutocomplete is a required field, the isRequired
and necessityIndicator
props can be used to show a required state.
<SearchAutocomplete
label="Favorite Animal"
isRequired
necessityIndicator="icon"
>
<Item>Red Panda</Item>
<Item>Cat</Item>
<Item>Dog</Item>
<Item>Aardvark</Item>

</SearchAutocomplete>
Accessibility#
If a visible label isn't specified, an aria-label
must be provided to the SearchAutocomplete for
accessibility. If the field is labeled by a separate element, an aria-labelledby
prop must be provided using
the id
of the labeling element instead.
Internationalization#
In order to internationalize a SearchAutocomplete, a localized string should be passed to the label
or aria-label
prop.
When the necessityIndicator
prop is set to "label"
, a localized string will be provided for "(required)"
or "(optional)"
automatically.
Links#
By default, interacting with an item in a SearchAutocomplete updates the input value. Alternatively, items may be links to another page or website. This can be achieved by passing the href
prop to the <Item>
component. Interacting with link items navigates to the provided URL and does not update the input value.
<SearchAutocomplete label="Tech company websites">

</SearchAutocomplete>
Client side routing#
The <Item>
component works with frameworks and client side routers like Next.js and React Router. As with other React Spectrum components that support links, this works via the Provider component at the root of your app. See the client side routing guide to learn how to set this up.
Sections#
SearchAutocomplete supports sections in order to group options. Sections can be used by wrapping groups of items in a Section
element. Each Section
takes a title
and key
prop.

Sections used with dynamic items are populated from a hierarchical data structure. Please note that Section
takes an array of data using the items
prop only.

Asynchronous loading#
SearchAutocomplete supports loading data asynchronously, and will display a progress circle reflecting the current load state,
set by the loadingState
prop. It also supports infinite scrolling to load more data on demand as the user scrolls, via the onLoadMore
prop.
This example uses the useAsyncList hook to handle loading the data. See the docs for more information.
import {useAsyncList} from '@react-stately/data';
interface Character {
name: string;
}
function AsyncLoadingExample() {
let list = useAsyncList<Character>({
async load({ signal, cursor, filterText }) {
if (cursor) {
cursor = cursor.replace(/^http:\/\//i, 'https://');
}
// If no cursor is available, then we're loading the first page,
// filtering the results returned via a query string that
// mirrors the SearchAutocomplete input text.
// Otherwise, the cursor is the next URL to load,
// as returned from the previous page.
let res = await fetch(
cursor || `https://swapi.py4e.com/api/people/?search= `,
{ signal }
);
let json = await res.json();
return {
items: json.results,
cursor: json.next
};
}
});
return (
<SearchAutocomplete

items={list.items}
inputValue={list.filterText}
onInputChange={list.setFilterText}
loadingState={list.loadingState}

function AsyncLoadingExample() {

cursor = cursor.replace(/^http:\/\//i, 'https://');
}
// If no cursor is available, then we're loading the first page,

Validation#
SearchAutocomplete can display a validation state to communicate to the user whether the current value is valid or invalid.
Implement your own validation logic in your app and pass either "valid"
or "invalid"
to the SearchAutocomplete via the validationState
prop.
The example below illustrates how one would validate if the user has entered a valid email into the SearchAutocomplete.
function Example() {
let [value, setValue] = React.useState('me@email.com');
let isValid = React.useMemo(
() => /^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/.test(value),
[value]
);
let options = [
{ id: 1, email: 'fake@email.com' },
{ id: 2, email: 'anotherfake@email.com' },
{ id: 3, email: 'bob@email.com' },
{ id: 4, email: 'joe@email.com' },
{ id: 5, email: 'yourEmail@email.com' },
{ id: 6, email: 'valid@email.com' },
{ id: 7, email: 'spam@email.com' },
{ id: 8, email: 'newsletter@email.com' },
{ id: 9, email: 'subscribe@email.com' }
];
return (
<SearchAutocomplete
width="size-3000"
label="Search Email Addresses"
validationState={isValid ? 'valid' : 'invalid'}
defaultItems={options}
inputValue={value}
onInputChange={setValue}
>
{(item) => <Item>{item.email}</Item>}
</SearchAutocomplete>
);
}
function Example() {
let [value, setValue] = React.useState('me@email.com');
let isValid = React.useMemo(
() =>
/^\w+([\.-]?\w+)*@\w+([\.-]?\w+)*(\.\w{2,3})+$/.test(
value
),
[value]
);
let options = [
{ id: 1, email: 'fake@email.com' },
{ id: 2, email: 'anotherfake@email.com' },
{ id: 3, email: 'bob@email.com' },
{ id: 4, email: 'joe@email.com' },
{ id: 5, email: 'yourEmail@email.com' },
{ id: 6, email: 'valid@email.com' },
{ id: 7, email: 'spam@email.com' },
{ id: 8, email: 'newsletter@email.com' },
{ id: 9, email: 'subscribe@email.com' }
];
return (

}
Custom Filtering#
By default, SearchAutocomplete uses a string "contains" filtering strategy when deciding what items to display in the dropdown menu. This filtering strategy can be overwritten
by filtering the list of items yourself and passing the filtered list to the SearchAutocomplete via the items
prop.
The example below uses a string "startsWith" filter function obtained from the useFilter
hook to display items that start with the SearchAutocomplete's current input
value only. By using the menuTrigger
returned by onOpenChange
, it also handles displaying the entire option list regardless of the current filter value when the SearchAutocomplete menu is
opened via the trigger button or arrow keys. menuTrigger
tells you if the menu was opened manually by the user ("manual"), by focusing the SearchAutocomplete ("focus"), or by
changes in the input field ("input"), allowing you to make updates to other controlled aspects of your SearchAutocomplete accordingly.
function Example() {
let options = [
{ id: 1, email: 'fake@email.com' },
{ id: 2, email: 'anotherfake@email.com' },
{ id: 3, email: 'bob@email.com' },
{ id: 4, email: 'joe@email.com' },
{ id: 5, email: 'yourEmail@email.com' },
{ id: 6, email: 'valid@email.com' },
{ id: 7, email: 'spam@email.com' },
{ id: 8, email: 'newsletter@email.com' },
{ id: 9, email: 'subscribe@email.com' }
];

Trigger options#
By default, the SearchAutocomplete's menu is opened when the user types into the input field ("input"). There are two other supported modes: one where the menu opens when the SearchAutocomplete is focused ("focus") and
the other where the menu only opens when the user clicks or taps on the SearchAutocomplete's field button ("manual"). These can be set by providing "focus" or "manual" to the menuTrigger
prop.
Guidelines on when to use a specific mode can be found here. Note that the mobile SearchAutocomplete experience requires the end user to press the SearchAutocomplete button
to open the tray regardless of the menuTrigger
setting.

Visual options#
Label alignment and position#
By default, the label is positioned above the SearchAutocomplete. The labelPosition
prop can be used to position the label to the side.
The labelAlign
prop can be used to align the label as "start" or "end". For left-to-right (LTR) languages, "start" refers to the left most edge of the SearchAutocomplete and "end" refers to the right most edge.
For right-to-left (RTL) languages, this is flipped.
