vue-search-input v1.1.14

vue-search-input

A Vue.js 3 search input component, inspired by the global search input of Storybook and GitHub.

The SearchInput component displays a search input with some additional features built-in.

Features:

• Focus on the search input at any time by pressing the / key on the keyboard.
• Includes a default CSS styling but it's also easy to bring your own styles too.
• Completely customizable icons via slots
• Displays an x icon on the right side of the search input, used for clearing the text when there's a value typed inside.
• The search text gets cleared by pressing the esc key when the search input has focus (configurable).

Important: It is advisable that you include the SearchInput component only once on each page.
In case multiple SearchInput components are present, the first one being displayed will take focus precedence upon the / keypress.
