Livewire Searchable Multiselect Input

Livewire component for searchable multiselect input with dynamic data source

Preview

Installation

Install the package via composer:

composer require glebred/search-multiselect-input

Publish the view

php artisan vendor:publish --provider="GlebRed\SearchMultiselectInput\SearchMultiselectInputServiceProvider" --tag="views"

You will find that new view in views/vendor/search_multiselect_input/components

Requirements

This package uses livewire/livewire (https://laravel-livewire.com/) under the hood.

It also uses TailwindCSS (https://tailwindcss.com/) for base styling.

Please make sure you include both of these dependencies before using this component.

Usage

In order to use this component, you must create a new Livewire component that extends from SearchMultiselectInput

You can use make:livewire to create a new component. For example.

php artisan make:livewire MyMultiInput --inline

In the MyMultiInput class, instead of extending from the base Livewire Component class, extend from SearchMultiselectInput class. Also, remove the render method.

use GlebRed\SearchMultiselectInput\SearchMultiselectInput;

class MyMultiInput extends SearchMultiselectInput
{
    //
}

In this class, you must implement the following methods to configure data sources. For instance, here I'm getting data from my User model

public function updatedQuery()
{
    $this->data = User::where('name', 'like', '%' . $this->query . '%')
        ->get()
        ->toArray();
}

public function addSelectedItem($user_id)
{
    $user = User::findOrFail($user_id, ['id', 'name']);

    if (!empty($this->selected_items)) {
        if (!in_array($user['id'], array_column($this->selected_items, 'id'))) $this->selected_items[] = $user;
    } else {
        $this->selected_items[] = $user;
    }

    //Emit selected items to parent's participantsChanged($participants)
    $this->emit('participantsChanged', $this->selected_items);

    $this->resetProps();
}

public function removeSelectedItem($id)
{
    foreach ($this->selected_items as $key => $item) {
      if ($item['id'] == $id) {
        unset($this->selected_items[$key]);
        break;
      }
    }

    //Emit selected items to parent's participantsChanged($participants)
    $this->emit('participantsChanged', $this->selected_items);
}

To render the component in a view, just use the Livewire tag or include syntax

@livewire('my-multi-input')

Or if you want to pass parameters for an edit form then

@livewire('my-multi-input', [$selected_items])

And then in your MyMultiInput.php

public function mount($selected_items)
{
    $this->selected_items = $selected_items;
}

Advanced behavior

// TODO 😬

AlpineJs support

Add AlpineJs for arrow-keys navigation, enter key for selection, enter/space keys for reset. 😎
