Flexible autocomplete/select component written in Svelte. Massively inspired by Selectize.js. Also usable as custom element (CE). Usable in forms, behaves very similar to standard <select>
element.
See the latest changes on the Releases page.

- custom item renderer (formatter)
- allow creating new items (and possibly edit them)
- remote data fetch
- virtual list support
- i18n support
- SSR support
- lazy dropdown rendering
- usable as custom element
- stylable
- reordable multi selection with addition of
svelte-dnd-action
(example)
npm install svelecte --save
<script>
import Svelecte from 'svelecte';
const list = [{ id: 1, name: 'Item 1' }, { id: 2, name: 'Item 2'}, ...];
let myValue = null;
</script>
<Svelecte options={list} bind:value={myValue}></Svelecte>
๐ญ Note about value
and readSelection
property
myValue = 2;
This would select item with id
property 2
.
Sometimes you want to work strictly with objects, like myValue = {id: 2, name: 'Item 2'}
. You can set property valueAsObject
which tells Svelecte to handle value
property as object or array of object (if multiple
is also set).
Property readSelection
always returns selected object or object array no matter if valueAsObject
is set or not.

fetchBefore: '๐ป',
fetchQuery: minQuery => '๐งฎ',
fetchEmpty: '๐ฎ',

createRowLabel: value => `๐ ${value}`

// local override (component-level)
const myI18n = {
empty: `Empty list, can't you see?`
}
<Svelecte i18n={myI18n}></Svelecte>
