CDN

You can copy and paste the following tags into your HTML file.

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@sfgrp/tw-autocomplete/dist/tw-autocomplete.umd.min.js"></script>

Setup

There are two ways to setup TWAutocomplete. The easiest way is to let TWAutocomplete auto discover your inputs automatically. For that, you simply need to provide a data attribute to your input.

Declarative

Add data-taxonworks-autocomplete="true" attribute to input elements to initialize it. To pass the options you need to add the prefix data- and write the option in kebab-case, like the following example:

<input 
  data-taxonworks-autocomplete="true"
  data-resource="taxon_names"
  data-project-token="xQ9bKrhfQtHYfro9t6YY0A"
  data-name="taxon_name_id"
  data-url="https://sfg.taxonworks.org"
  placeholder="Search a taxon name..."
>

Imperative

You can initialize it by instantiating the TWAutocomplete class

<input 
  id="taxonworks-autocomplete"
  placeholder="Search..."
>

import TWAutocomplete from '@sfgrp/tw-autocomplete'
import '@sfgrp/tw-autocomplete/dist/style.css'

const autocomplete = new TWAutocomplete('#taxonworks-autocomplete', options)

  projectToken: '',           // Project token. Don't use together with a user token.
  events: {                   // (Optional) Callback events
    select: () => {}
  }
