Parameters

optionsRequired

Array of options.

Type:ReadonlyArray<Value>


autoComplete

If true, the portion of the selected suggestion that the user hasn't typed, known as the completion string, appears inline after the input cursor in the textbox. The inline completion string is visually highlighted and has a selected state.

Type:boolean

Default:false


autoHighlight

If true, the first option is automatically highlighted.

Type:boolean

Default:false


autoSelect

If true, the selected option becomes the value of the input when the Autocomplete loses focus unless the user chooses a different option or changes the character string in the input.
When using the freeSolo mode, the typed value will be the input value if the Autocomplete loses focus without highlighting an option.

Type:boolean

Default:false


blurOnSelect

Control if the input should be blurred when an option is selected:

  • false the input is not blurred.
  • true the input is always blurred.
  • touch the input is blurred after a touch event.
  • mouse the input is blurred after a mouse event.

Type:'touch' | 'mouse' | true | false

Default:false


clearOnBlur

If true, the input's text is cleared on blur if no value is selected.
Set it to true if you want to help the user enter a new value. Set it to false if you want to help the user resume their search.

Type:boolean

Default:!props.freeSolo


clearOnEscape

If true, clear all values when the user presses escape and the popup is closed.

Type:boolean

Default:false


componentName

The component name that is using this hook. Used for warnings.

Type:string

The default value. Use when the component is not controlled.

If true, the input can't be cleared.

Type:DisableClearable

Default:false

A function that determines the filtered options to be rendered on search.

Default:false


getOptionDisabled

Used to determine the disabled state for a given option.

Type:(option: Value) => boolean


getOptionKey

Used to determine the key for a given option. This can be useful when the labels of options are not unique (since labels are used as keys by default).

Type:(option: Value | AutocompleteFreeSoloValueMapping<FreeSolo>) => string | number


getOptionLabel

Used to determine the string value for a given option. It's used to fill the input (and the list box options if renderOption is not provided).
If used in free solo mode, it must accept both the type of the options and a string.

Type:(option: Value | AutocompleteFreeSoloValueMapping<FreeSolo>) => string

Default:(option) => option.label ?? option

Type:(option: Value) => string


handleHomeEndKeys

If true, the component handles the "Home" and "End" keys when the popup is open. It should move focus to the first option and last option, respectively.

Default:!props.freeSolo


id

includeInputInList

If true, the highlight can move to the input.

Type:boolean

Default:false


inputValue

The input value.

Type:string


isOptionEqualToValue
