README

A Laravel Nova text field supporting autocomplete from an array of values. The field is a simple text field with the ability to provide autocompletion from an array of strings.

This does not force the selection of an item. The user will be free to type arbitrary text.

Demo

Installation

From the command line:

composer require lhilton/text-auto-complete

Usage

Provile an array of strings that you want to be shown during usage.

use Lhilton\TextAutoComplete\TextAutoComplete;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        TextAutoComplete::make('Regions')->items([
            'Alabama',
            'Alaska',
            'Arizona',
            'Arkansas',
            // ...
            'West Virginia',
            'Wisconsin',
            'Wyoming'
        ]),
    ];
}

You can feed from an Eloquent model like this:

use App\Models\User;
use Lhilton\TextAutoComplete\TextAutoComplete;

public function fields(Request $request)
{
    return [
        TextAutoComplete::make('Regions')->items(
            User::select('title')
                ->distinct()
                ->get()
                ->pluck('title')
                ->filter()
                ->values()
                ->toArray();
        ),
    ];
}
