typesense

Hi all. Where can I find a good demo with source code for a React component that uses autocomplete?

We don't have a React example for autocomplete, but here's a vanilla js version that you might be able to adapt: <https://github.com/typesense/typesense-autocomplete-demo>

Ah yeah, I was messing around with this and wasn't quite able to get it working correctly.

How about this one: <https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/building-search-ui/ui-and-ux-patterns/autocomplete/react/>

You should be able to use that along with the <https://github.com/typesense/typesense-instantsearch-adapter|typesense-instantsearch-adapter> to get it to work with Typesense

Is there an easy quick-start version somewhere?

I had typesense set up with the basic demo and was getting hits with a searchbox

Did you try this specific section already: <https://www.algolia.com/doc/ui-libraries/autocomplete/integrations/with-react-instantsearch/#using-autocomplete-as-a-search-box>

I've been using SearchBox from react-instantsearch-dom. Is that new Autocomplete component able to replace that SearchBox?

Based on the link above, it sounds like it

How can I have a dropdown menu that I can select from though? This doesn't seem to do that.

This is the widget I want: <https://www.algolia.com/doc/guides/building-search-ui/widgets/showcase/react/>

Still not sure how to get this integrated

Is there a non-typescript version somewhere? I don't want to use typescript in my project.
