Search Autocomplete Flutter Package

Overview

This Flutter package provides a SearchAutocomplete widget for implementing autocomplete functionality with a dropdown menu. The package offers extensive customization options for the search field, dropdown items, and includes hooks for search logic.

Installation

To use this package, add search_autocomplete as a dependency in your pubspec.yaml file:

dependencies:
  search_autocomplete: ^0.0.7

Features

• Customizable search field
• Customizable dropdown items
• Hooks for search logic
• Initial value support
• Placeholder text support
• Widget to display when the dropdown is empty

State Management Compatibility

• Designed to work seamlessly with Cubit/Bloc and other orthodox state managers. Since the list updating logic resides higher up in the widget tree, it allows for a clean separation between UI and logic.

Usage

Here's a quick example to show how to use SearchAutocomplete widget:

SearchAutocomplete<String>(
  options: ['Apple', 'Banana', 'Orange'],
  initValue: 'Apple',
  onSearch: (query) {
    // Implement your search logic here
  },
  onSelected: (item) {
    // Handle selection
  },
  getString: (item) => item,
)

Customization

Both the search field and the dropdown items can be customized using fieldBuilder and dropDownBuilder respectively.

SearchAutocomplete<String>(
  // ...
  fieldBuilder: (controller, onFieldTap, showDropdown) {
    return TextFormField(
      // Customizations here
    );
  },
  dropDownBuilder: (options, onSelected) {
    return ListView.builder(
      // Customizations here
    );
  },
)
