vue-search-input <a href="https://npm.im/vue-search-input"><img src="https://badgen.net/npm/v/vue-search-input"></a>
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.
