ink-quicksearch-input

QuickSearch Component for Ink 2, demo on repl.it

Forked from @Eximchain with some upgrades to make it Ink v3.x compatible.

This re-write uses modern React, some perf optimizations, typescript, exports type definitions and adds linting/prettier.

Install

$ npm install @fforres/ink-quicksearch-input

Quickstart

If you'd like to get a feel for how the component works, you can see the examples in action by running:

yarn
yarn dev

Usage

import React, { useState } from "react";
import { render, Text, Newline } from "ink";
import { QuickSearchInput } from "ink-quicksearch-input";

const Demo = (props) => {
  const [result, setResult] = useState("");
  return (
    <>
      <Text>The user selected {result}.</Text>
      <Newline />
      <QuickSearchInput
        items={[
          { value: 1, label: "Animal" },
          { value: 3, label: "Antilope" },
          { value: 2, label: "Animation" },
          { value: 0, label: "Animate" },
          { value: 4, label: "Arizona" },
          { value: 5, label: "Aria" },
          { value: 6, label: "Arid" },
          // ...
        ]}
        onSelect={(item) => setResult(item.label)}
      />
    </>
  );
};

render(<Demo />);

Props

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
items	Array(object)	[]	Items to display in a list. Each item must be an object and have at least a label prop.
onSelect	function		Function to call when user selects an item. Item object is passed to that function as an argument.
focus	boolean	true	Listen to user's input. Useful in case there are multiple input components at the same time and input must be "routed" to a specific component.
caseSensitive	boolean	false	Whether or not quicksearch matching will be case sensitive.
limit	int	0	Limit the number of rows to display. 0 is unlimited Use in conjunction with https://www.npmjs.com/package/term-size.
forceMatchingQuery	bool	false	If set to true, queries that return no results are not allowed. In particular, if previous query X returns at least one result and X + new_character would not, query will not update to X + new_character.
clearQueryChars	Array(char)	['\u0015', '\u0017'] (Ctrl + u, Ctrl + w)	Key Combinations that will clear the query. ch follows the keypress API process.stdin.on('keypress', (ch, key) => {}).
initialSelectionIndex	int	0	Selection index when the component is initially rendered or when props.items changes. Can be set together with new props.items to automatically select an option.
label	string		Optionally provide a label which will appear before the current query.
indicatorComponent	Component		Custom component to override the default indicator component (default - arrow).
itemComponent	Component		Custom component to override the default item style (default - selection coloring).
