Google AMP amp-autocomplete

Last Updated : 16 Oct, 2020

The amp-autocomplete suggests complete results according to the input given by the user as they type. It is a very common and helpful feature as it enables users to complete there task more quickly. This is extremely useful when the user does not know the full range of the input.

Required Scripts: Import the amp-autocomplete component –

HTML

<script async custom-element="amp-autocomplete" src= 
"https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-autocomplete-0.1.js"> 
</script>

Import the amp-form component –

HTML

<script async custom-element="amp-form" src= 
"https://cdn.ampproject.org/v0/amp-form-0.1.js"> 
</script>

Usage:

amp-autocomplete must be nested in a form.
The form should contain an input field with an input tag or textarea tag.
A datasource must be a JSON object containing an array property item.
A datasource can be specified with a child script type=”application/json” tag or specified via src tag.

Using child script type=”application/json” –

HTML

<form class="sample-form" method="post" 
    action-xhr= 
"https://amp.dev/documentation/examples/api/echo"
    target="_top"> 
      
    <amp-autocomplete filter="substring"> 
        <input> 
        <script type="application/json"> 
            { 
                "items": ["geeksforgeeks", "gfg",  
                "iamageek" ,"how to become a geek?"] 
            } 
        </script> 
    </amp-autocomplete> 
</form>

Using src tag –

HTML

<form class="sample-form" method="post" 
    action-xhr= 
"https://amp.dev/documentation/examples/api/echo"
    target="_top"> 
      
    <!--the following src link contains  
        names of cities-->
    <amp-autocomplete filter="substring" 
src="/static/samples/json/amp-autocomplete-cities.json"> 
        <input> 
    </amp-autocomplete> 
</form>
