React Evergreen is a popular front-end library with a set of React components for building beautiful products as this library is flexible, sensible defaults, and User friendly. Autocomplete Component is used for auto-completing the free text value with the option value. It basically allows the user to type and select the item from a list of options. We can use the following approach in ReactJS to use the Evergreen Autocomplete Component.

Autocomplete Props:

  • title: It is used to provide a title for the items.
  • items: It is used to denote an array of items to be used as options for the selection.
  • selectedItem: It is used to denote the selected Item to be shown on the Autocomplete.
  • itemToString: It is a function that is used on each item to return the string that will be shown on the filter in case the array of items is not an array of strings.
  • children: It is a function that is used to render the ‘filter’ component.
  • itemSize: It is used to denote the height of each item in the list.
  • renderItem: It is a function that returns a component to render the item.
  • position: It is used for the position of the popover.
  • itemsFilter: It is a function that is used to filter the items.
  • isFilterDisabled: It is used to enable and disable filtering.
  • popoverMinWidth: It is used to denote the minimum height of the result’s container.
  • popoverMaxHeight: It is used to denote the maximum height of the result’s container.
  • allowOtherValues: It is used to indicate whether the input accepts arbitrary user input beyond the provided items or not.

AutocompleteItem Props:

  • children: It is used to pass the children element for this component.
  • style: It is used to pass the styling for the component.
  • isSelected: It is used to indicate whether the item is selected or not.
  • isHighlighted: It is used to indicate whether to highlight the item or not.
