    <strong>A JavaScript library that lets you quickly build autocomplete experiences</strong>

All you need to get started is:

• A container to inject the experience into
• Data to fill the autocomplete with
• Any Virtual DOM solution (JavaScript, Preact, React, Vue, etc.)

The data that populates the autocomplete results are called sources. You can use whatever you want in your sources: a static set of searches terms, search results from an external source like an Algolia index, recent searches, and more.

By configuring just those two required parameters (container and getSources) you can have an interactive autocomplete experience. The library creates an input and provides the interactivity and accessibility attributes, but you're in full control of the DOM elements to output.

Installation

The recommended way to get started is with the autocomplete-js package. It includes everything you need to render a JavaScript autocomplete experience.

Otherwise, you can install the autocomplete-core package if you want to build a renderer from scratch.

All Autocomplete packages are available on the npm registry.

yarn add @algolia/autocomplete-js
# or
npm install @algolia/autocomplete-js

If you don't use a package manager, you can use the HTML script element:

<script src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/npm/@algolia/autocomplete-js"></script>
<script>
  const { autocomplete } = window['@algolia/autocomplete-js'];
</script>

Usage

To get started, you need a container for your autocomplete to go in. If you don't have one already, you can insert one into your markup:

```js title="HTML"

Then, insert your autocomplete into it by calling the [`autocomplete`](https://www.algolia.com/doc/ui-libraries/autocomplete/api-reference/autocomplete-js/autocomplete/) function and providing the [`container`](https://www.algolia.com/doc/ui-libraries/autocomplete/api-reference/autocomplete-js/autocomplete/#param-container). It can be a [CSS selector](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/CSS/CSS_Selectors) or an [Element](https://developer.mozilla.org/docs/Web/API/HTMLElement).

Make sure to provide a container (e.g., a `div`), not an `input`. Autocomplete generates a fully accessible search box for you.

```js title="JavaScript"
import { autocomplete } from '@algolia/autocomplete-js';

autocomplete({
  container: '#autocomplete',
  // ...
});
