React-Loqate

This is a React implementation of the loqate APIs. It features an input, typing in which will result in a list of address options. Clicking an option will trigger your callback with that option.

Usage

Notes

You must polyfill fetch.

Installation

npm install react-loqate

import AddressSearch from 'react-loqate';
// to use the default styles for the default components

Customization

You can either style the default input, list and listitem with their respective classes or replace them completely by passing in your own components in the components prop.

Custom Input and List components must forward a ref!

All custom components must pass down their props!

import React from 'react';
import AddressSearch from 'react-loqate';

<AddressSearch
  // ...
  components={{
    List: forwardRef(({ className, ...rest }, ref) => (
      <ul
        className={clsx('react-loqate-default-list', className)}
        ref={ref}
        // ...
        {...rest}
      />
    )),
    ListItem: ({ suggestion, ...rest }) => (
      <li
        onKeyDown={(e) => {
          if (e.key === 'ArrowDown') {
            e.preventDefault();
            const next = e.target.nextSibling;
            if (next) {
              next.focus();
            }
          }
          if (e.key === 'ArrowUp') {
            e.preventDefault();
            const previous = e.taget.previousSibling;
            if (previous) {
              previous.focus();
            }
          }
        }}
        {...rest}
      >
        `${suggestion.Text} ${suggestion.Description}`
      </li>
    ),
  }}
  classes={{ Input: classes.input }}
/>;
