JavaScript Autocomplete Plugin

root22

Coder
Hi there. I'm trying to use this autocomplete script to run on my websites contact form under the Subject area. I posted the javascript with <script></script> but it doesnt seem to work. I have no coding knowledge.


so maybe someone could paste all the parts of the code required to run in a blank html page

https://material.angular.io/components/autocomplete/examples

Im mainly interested in the Assignee example.

Heres the code.

HTML:
<form class="example-form">
  <mat-form-field class="example-full-width" appearance="fill">
    <mat-label>Assignee</mat-label>
    <input type="text" matInput [formControl]="myControl" [matAutocomplete]="auto">
    <mat-autocomplete #auto="matAutocomplete" [displayWith]="displayFn">
      <mat-option *ngFor="let option of filteredOptions | async" [value]="option">
        {{option.name}}
      </mat-option>
    </mat-autocomplete>
  </mat-form-field>
</form>

and The CSS

CSS:
.example-form {
  min-width: 150px;
  max-width: 500px;
  width: 100%;
}

.example-full-width {
  width: 100%;
}

And TS
Code:
import {Component, OnInit} from '@angular/core';
import {FormControl} from '@angular/forms';
import {Observable} from 'rxjs';
import {map, startWith} from 'rxjs/operators';

export interface User {
  name: string;
}

/**
 * @title Display value autocomplete
 */
@Component({
  selector: 'autocomplete-display-example',
  templateUrl: 'autocomplete-display-example.html',
  styleUrls: ['autocomplete-display-example.css'],
})
export class AutocompleteDisplayExample implements OnInit {
  myControl = new FormControl<string | User>('');
  options: User[] = [{name: 'Mary'}, {name: 'Shelley'}, {name: 'Igor'}];
  filteredOptions: Observable<User[]>;

  ngOnInit() {
    this.filteredOptions = this.myControl.valueChanges.pipe(
      startWith(''),
      map(value => {
        const name = typeof value === 'string' ? value : value?.name;
        return name ? this._filter(name as string) : this.options.slice();
      }),
    );
  }

  displayFn(user: User): string {
    return user && user.name ? user.name : '';
  }

  private _filter(name: string): User[] {
    const filterValue = name.toLowerCase();

    return this.options.filter(option => option.name.toLowerCase().includes(filterValue));
  }
}

Also this is the Html from my site where I want to add it to.

HTML:
  <div class="row">
                                <div class="input-field col s12">
                                    <textarea id="subject" name="subject" class="materialize-textarea" class="validate" ></textarea>
                                    <label for="subject">Subject</label>
                                </div>
                            </div>

Thanks for any help.

You don't need a JS plugin for that, you just use the <datalist> element.

Kind of like this:
HTML:
<input list="subject"> <!--the value of the list attribute must match the id of the datalist-->
<datalist id="subject">
  <option value="General Enquiries">
  <option value="Silver Package">
  <option value="Gold Package">
  <option value="Platinum Package">
  <option value="Other">
</datalist>

Here's a live example: https://www.w3schools.com/html/tryit.asp?filename=tryhtml_elem_datalist

I tried that and it looks nice on my form but It doesn't email the option chosen. Ive used it on this page as the Subject.

I don't understand code but heres the handler.php file
PHP:
<?php
ini_set('display_errors', 1);
ini_set('display_startup_errors', 1);
error_reporting(E_ALL);
/*
Tested working with PHP5.4 and above (including PHP 7 )

 */
require_once './vendor/autoload.php';

use FormGuide\Handlx\FormHandler;


$pp = new FormHandler();

$validator = $pp->getValidator();
$validator->fields(['name','email'])->areRequired()->maxLength(50);
$validator->field('email')->isEmail();
$validator->field('message')->maxLength(6000);




$pp->sendEmailTo('[email protected]'); // ← Your email here

echo $pp->process($_POST);

Heres the Javascript from the header of the document.

JavaScript:
<script>
$(function()
{
    function after_form_submitted(data)
    {
        if(data.result == 'success')
        {
            $('form#reused_form').hide();
            $('#success_message').show();
            $('#error_message').hide();
        }
        else
        {
            $('#error_message').append('<ul></ul>');

            jQuery.each(data.errors,function(key,val)
            {
                $('#error_message ul').append('<li>'+key+':'+val+'</li>');
            });
            $('#success_message').hide();
            $('#error_message').show();

            //reverse the response on the button
            $('button[type="button"]', $form).each(function()
            {
                $btn = $(this);
                label = $btn.prop('orig_label');
                if(label)
                {
                    $btn.prop('type','submit' );
                    $btn.text(label);
                    $btn.prop('orig_label','');
                }
            });

        }//else
    }

    $('#reused_form').submit(function(e)
      {
        e.preventDefault();

        $form = $(this);
        //show some response on the button
        $('button[type="submit"]', $form).each(function()
        {
            $btn = $(this);
            $btn.prop('type','button' );
            $btn.prop('orig_label',$btn.text());
            $btn.text('Sending ...');
        });


                    $.ajax({
                type: "POST",
                url: 'handler.php',
                data: $form.serialize(),
                success: after_form_submitted,
                dataType: 'json'
            });

      });
});
</script>

Any ideas for making the chosen subject to show in the email?

Thanks.
 
Not too sure there's a lot of code in the vendor folder. I have a copy of it here https://lmbc.me/php-contact-form-template.zip
Also this is the site where I originally saw it and downloaded. http://reusableforms.com/d/o1/php-contact-form-template

Found the sendemailto here
PHP:
$pp = new FormHandler();

$validator = $pp->getValidator();
$validator->fields(['name','email'])->areRequired()->maxLength(50);
$validator->field('email')->isEmail();
$validator->field('message')->maxLength(6000);




$pp->sendEmailTo('[email protected]'); // ← Your email here

echo $pp->process($_POST);
