A reusable, modular Autocomplete / ComboBox component built with React and TypeScript.
It’s designed to be lightweight, framework-free, and easy to integrate into any React project.
** NOTE - This component has been shipped in a Parcel setup for local development / running.
- Debounced search – prevents unnecessary API calls on every keystroke (good for high-traffic apps or third-party APIs).
- Dropdown with feedback – shows
Loading...
while fetching, andNo results for "..."
if nothing matches. - Keyboard navigation – use Arrow Up/Down to navigate, Enter to select, Escape to close.
- Clearable input – an
X
button to reset the selection quickly. - Selected option highlight – keeps the selected option highlighted when reopening the dropdown.
- Fully typed with TypeScript – includes generic typing for flexible use with any data type.
