General description

Library is a set of easy to use, customizable components (based on react-native-paper) which can help with building autocomplete/dropdown components.

Getting started

1. Install library

npm install @telenko/react-native-paper-autocomplete --save

2. Import components

import {
  Autocomplete,
  FlatDropdown,
  ModalDropdown,
} from "@telenko/react-native-paper-autocomplete";

3. Using Autocomplete with multiple mode

const SomeForm: React.FC = () => {
  const [selectedIds, setIds] = useState([]);
  const options = useMemo(
    () => [
      { label: "option 1", value: "1" },
      { label: "option 2", value: "2" },
      { label: "option 3", value: "3" },
    ],
    []
  );
  return (
    <Autocomplete
      multiple
      value={selectedIds}
      onChange={setIds}
      options={options}
    />
  );
};

4. Using Autocomplete with single mode

const SomeForm: React.FC = () => {
  const [id, setId] = useState("");
  const options = useMemo(
    () => [
      { label: "option 1", value: "1" },
      { label: "option 2", value: "2" },
      { label: "option 3", value: "3" },
    ],
    []
  );
  return <Autocomplete value={id} onChange={setId} options={options} />;
};

4. Custom option + flat mode + custom filter

<Autocomplete
  multiple
  value={value}
  onChange={setValue}
  style={{ width: 300 }}
  options={[
    {
      value: "1",
      label: "option 1",

  ]}
  filterOptions={(options, input) => {
    if (!input) {
      return options;
    }
    const includesIgnoreNoWhiteSpaceCase = (a: string, b: string): boolean => {
      const optionQuery = (a || "").replace(/\s/g, "").toUpperCase();
      const inputQuery = (b || "").replace(/\s/g, "").toUpperCase();
      return (
        optionQuery.includes(inputQuery) || inputQuery.includes(optionQuery)
      );
    };
    return options.filter((option) => {
      return (
        includesIgnoreNoWhiteSpaceCase(option.label, input) ||
        includesIgnoreNoWhiteSpaceCase(option.description, input)
      );
    });
  }}
  renderDropdown={(props) => <FlatDropdown menuOffset={40} {...props} />}
  renderOption={({ selected, onSelect, label }, { description }) => {
    return (
      <List.Item
        onPress={onSelect}
        title={label}
        description={description}
        left={(props) => <List.Icon {...props} icon="folder" />}

            : undefined
        }
      />
    );
  }}
/>

5. Custom search input for modal mode

<Autocomplete
  multiple
  renderDropdown={(props) => (
    <ModalDropdown
      {...props}
      renderSearchInput={(props) => (
        <TextInput
          {...props}
          left={<TextInput.Icon name="arrow-down" size={20} />}
        />
      )}
    />
  )}
  value={value}
  onChange={setValue}
  style={{ width: 300 }}
  options={[
    { value: "1", label: "option 1" },
    { value: "2", label: "option 2" },
    { value: "3", label: "option 3" },
  ]}
/>

6. Custom chips

<Autocomplete
  multiple
  renderSelectedItem={({ label, value, onDelete }) => (
    <Chip key={value} icon="folder" mode="outlined" onClose={onDelete}>
      {label}
    </Chip>
  )}
  value={value}
  onChange={setValue}
  style={{ width: 300 }}
  options={[
    { value: "1", label: "option 1" },
    { value: "2", label: "option 2" },
    { value: "3", label: "option 3" },
  ]}
/>

7. Validation

<Autocomplete
  multiple
  onOpen={() => {}}
  onClose={() => {}}
  value={value}
  error={value.length !== 2}
  renderHelper={
    value.length !== 2
      ? () => (
          <HelperText type="error" visible>
            You should select 2 items
          </HelperText>
        )
      : null
  }
  onChange={setValue}
  style={{ width: 300 }}
  options={[
    { value: "1", label: "option 1" },
    { value: "2", label: "option 2" },
    { value: "3", label: "option 3" },
  ]}
/>

8. Single selection autocomplete

<Autocomplete
  menuOffset={40}
  value={value}
  onChange={setValue}
  style={{ width: 300 }}
  options={[
    { value: "1", label: "option 1" },
    { value: "2", label: "option 2" },
    { value: "3", label: "option 3" },
  ]}
/>

9. Custom host element

<Autocomplete
  menuOffset={15}
  renderHost={() => (
    <Button mode="contained">
      {value
        ? options.find((op) => op.value === value)?.label
        : "Select value..."}
    </Button>
  )}
  filterOptions={(options) => options}
  onOpen={() => {}}
  onClose={() => {}}
  value={value}
  onChange={setValue}
  style={{ width: 300 }}
  options={options}
/>

10. Plain Dropdown Component (Modal)

<ModalDropdown
  onOpen={() => {}}
  onClose={() => {}}
  onChangeText={setInput}
  style={{ width: 300 }}
  inputValue={input}
  options={[
    { value: "1", label: "option 1" },
    { value: "2", label: "option 2" },
    { value: "3", label: "option 3" },
  ]}
  renderOption={({ item }) => (
    <Menu.Item onPress={() => {}} title={item.label} />
  )}
/>

11. Plain Dropdown Component (Flat)

<FlatDropdown
  onOpen={() => {}}
  onClose={() => {}}
  onChangeText={setInput}
  menuOffset={40}
  style={{ width: 300 }}
  inputValue={input}
  options={[
    { value: "1", label: "option 1" },
    { value: "2", label: "option 2" },
    { value: "3", label: "option 3" },
  ]}
  renderOption={({ item }) => (
    <Menu.Item onPress={() => {}} title={item.label} />
  )}
/>

12. Writing Autocomplete which works in mixed mode (flat+modal)

import {
  FlatDropdown,
  ModalDropdown,
  Autocomplete,
  AutocompleteProps,
} from "@telenko/react-native-paper-autocomplete";
import React, { useState } from "react";

const AutocompleteMixed: React.FC<AutocompleteProps> = (props) => {
  const [modal, setModal] = useState(false);
  const [currentOpen, setCurrentOpen] = useState(props.openOnMount);
  return (
    <Autocomplete
      renderDropdown={(props) =>
        modal ? (
          <ModalDropdown openOnMount={currentOpen} {...props} />
        ) : (
          <FlatDropdown openOnMount={currentOpen} menuOffset={40} {...props} />
        )
      }
      onClose={() => {
        setCurrentOpen(false);
        setModal(false);
      }}
      onChangeText={(v) => {
        setCurrentOpen(true);
        setModal(v.length > 0);
      }}
      {...props}
    />
  );
};
