Autocomplete

The autocomplete is a normal text input enhanced by a panel of suggested options.

The widget is useful for setting the value of a single-line textbox in one of two types of scenarios:

  1. The value for the textbox must be chosen from a predefined set of allowed values, for example a location field must contain a valid location name: combo box.
  2. The textbox may contain any arbitrary value, but it is advantageous to suggest possible values to the user, for example a search field may suggest similar or previous searches to save the user time: free solo.

It's meant to be an improved version of the "react-select" and "downshift" packages.

Combo box

The value must be chosen from a predefined set of allowed values.

import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';
import Autocomplete from '@mui/material/Autocomplete';
import top100Films from './top100Films';

export default function ComboBox() {
  return (
    <Autocomplete
      disablePortal
      options={top100Films}
      sx={{ width: 300 }}
      renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} label="Movie" />}
    />
  );
}

Options structure

By default, the component accepts the following options structures:

interface AutocompleteOption {
  label: string;
}
// or
type AutocompleteOption = string;

for instance:

const options = [
  { label: 'The Godfather', id: 1 },
  { label: 'Pulp Fiction', id: 2 },
];
// or
const options = ['The Godfather', 'Pulp Fiction'];

However, you can use different structures by providing a getOptionLabel prop.

If your options are objects, you must provide the isOptionEqualToValue prop to ensure correct selection and highlighting. By default, it uses strict equality to compare options with the current value.

Playground

Each of the following examples demonstrates one feature of the Autocomplete component.

import * as React from 'react';
import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';
import Autocomplete from '@mui/material/Autocomplete';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';

export default function Playground() {
  const defaultProps = {
    options: top100Films,
    getOptionLabel: (option: FilmOptionType) => option.title,
  };
  const flatProps = {
    options: top100Films.map((option) => option.title),
  };
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState<FilmOptionType | null>(null);

Controlled states

The component has two states that can be controlled:

  1. the "value" state with the value/onChange props combination. This state represents the value selected by the user, for instance when pressing Enter.
  2. the "input value" state with the inputValue/onInputChange props combination. This state represents the value displayed in the textbox.

These two states are isolated, and should be controlled independently.

value: 'Option 1'
inputValue: ''

import * as React from 'react';
import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';
import Autocomplete from '@mui/material/Autocomplete';

const options = ['Option 1', 'Option 2'];

export default function ControllableStates() {
  const [value, setValue] = React.useState<string | null>(options[0]);
  const [inputValue, setInputValue] = React.useState('');

  return (
    <div>
      <div>{`value: ${value !== null ? `'${value}'` : 'null'}`}</div>
      <div>{`inputValue: '${inputValue}'`}</div>
      <br />
      <Autocomplete
        value={value}
        onChange={(event: any, newValue: string | null) => {
          setValue(newValue);
        }}
        inputValue={inputValue}
        onInputChange={(event, newInputValue) => {
          setInputValue(newInputValue);
        }}
        id="controllable-states-demo"

        renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} label="Controllable" />}
      />
    </div>
  );
}

Free solo

Set freeSolo to true so the textbox can contain any arbitrary value.

Search input

The prop is designed to cover the primary use case of a search input with suggestions, for example Google search or react-autowhatever.

import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
import Autocomplete from '@mui/material/Autocomplete';

export default function FreeSolo() {

        getOptionLabel={(option) =>
          typeof option === 'string' ? option : option.title
        }
        // this demo demonstrates how the value parameter can be either an object (same type as option) or a string
        // it could become a string if, for example, you press "Enter" in the input field
        isOptionEqualToValue={(option, value) => {

          }
          return option.title === value.title;
        }}
      />
    </Stack>

Creatable

If you intend to use this mode for a combo box like experience (an enhanced version of a select element) we recommend setting:

  • selectOnFocus to help the user clear the selected value.
  • clearOnBlur to help the user enter a new value.
  • handleHomeEndKeys to move focus inside the popup with the Home and End keys.
  • resetHighlightOnMouseLeave to clear mouse-created highlights when the pointer leaves the popup.
  • A last option, for instance: Add "YOUR SEARCH".

To control how the groups are rendered, provide a custom renderGroup prop. This is a function that accepts an object with two fields:

  • group—a string representing a group name
  • children—a collection of list items that belong to the group

The following demo shows how to use this prop to define custom markup and override the styles of the default groups:

import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';
import Autocomplete from '@mui/material/Autocomplete';
import { styled, lighten, darken } from '@mui/system';

const GroupHeader = styled('div')(({ theme }) => ({
  position: 'sticky',
  top: '-8px',
  padding: '4px 10px',
  color: theme.palette.primary.main,
  backgroundColor: lighten(theme.palette.primary.light, 0.85),
  ...theme.applyStyles('dark', {
    backgroundColor: darken(theme.palette.primary.main, 0.8),
  }),
}));

const GroupItems = styled('ul')({
  padding: 0,
});

export default function RenderGroup() {
  const options = top100Films.map((option) => {
    const firstLetter = option.title[0].toUpperCase();
    return {
      firstLetter: /[0-9]/.test(firstLetter) ? '0-9' : firstLetter,
      ...option,
    };
  });

  return (
    <Autocomplete
      options={options.sort((a, b) => -b.firstLetter.localeCompare(a.firstLetter))}
      groupBy={(option) => option.firstLetter}
      getOptionLabel={(option) => option.title}
      sx={{ width: 300 }}
      renderInput={(params) => <TextField {...params} label="With categories" />}
      renderGroup={(params) => (
        <li key={params.key}>
          <GroupHeader>{params.group}</GroupHeader>
          <GroupItems>{params.children}</GroupItems>
        </li>
      )}
    />
  );

Head to the customization section for an example with the Autocomplete component instead of the hook.

Asynchronous requests

The component supports two different asynchronous use-cases:

Load on open

It displays a progress state as long as the network request is pending.

Search as you type

If your logic is fetching new options on each keystroke and using the current value of the textbox to filter on the server, you may want to consider throttling requests.

Additionally, you will need to disable the built-in filtering of the Autocomplete component by overriding the filterOptions prop:

<Autocomplete filterOptions={(x) => x} />

Google Maps place

A customized UI for Google Maps Places Autocomplete. For this demo, we need to load the Google Maps JavaScript and Google Places API.

Single value rendering

By default (when multiple={false}), the selected option is displayed as plain text inside the input. The renderValue prop allows you to customize how the selected value is rendered. This can be useful for adding custom styles, displaying additional information, or formatting the value differently.

  • The getItemProps getter provides props like data-item-index, disabled, tabIndex and others. These props should be spread onto the rendered component for proper accessibility.
  • If using a custom component other than a Material UI Chip, destructure the onDelete prop as it's specific to the Material UI Chip.
import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';
import Autocomplete from '@mui/material/Autocomplete';
import Chip from '@mui/material/Chip';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';

Multiple values

When multiple={true}, the user can select multiple values. These selected values, referred to as "items" can be customized using the renderValue prop.

  • The getItemProps getter supplies essential props like data-item-index, disabled, tabIndex and others. Make sure to spread them on each rendered item.
  • If using a custom component other than a Material UI Chip, destructure the onDelete prop as it's specific to the Material UI Chip.

Customization

Custom input

The renderInput prop allows you to customize the rendered input. The first argument of this render prop contains props that you need to forward. Pay specific attention to the ref and inputProps keys.

import Autocomplete from '@mui/material/Autocomplete';

const options = ['Option 1', 'Option 2'];

export default function CustomInputAutocomplete() {
  return (
    <label>
      Value:{' '}
      <Autocomplete
        sx={(theme) => ({
          display: 'inline-block',
          '& input': {
            width: 200,
            bgcolor: 'background.paper',
            color: theme.palette.getContrastText(theme.palette.background.paper),
          },
        })}
        id="custom-input-demo"
        options={options}
        renderInput={(params) => (
          <div ref={params.slotProps.input.ref}>
            <input type="text" {...params.slotProps.htmlInput} />
          </div>
        )}
      />
    </label>
  );
}

Globally customized options

To globally customize the Autocomplete options for all components in your app, you can use the theme default props and set the renderOption property in the defaultProps key. The renderOption property takes the ownerState as the fourth parameter, which includes props and internal component state. To display the label, you can use the getOptionLabel prop from the ownerState. This approach enables different options for each Autocomplete component while keeping the options styling consistent.

import Autocomplete, { autocompleteClasses } from '@mui/material/Autocomplete';
import Box from '@mui/material/Box';
import Stack from '@mui/material/Stack';
import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';

      mode: outerTheme.palette.mode,
    },
    components: {
      MuiAutocomplete: {
        defaultProps: {
          renderOption: (props, option, state, ownerState) => {
            const { key, ...optionProps } = props;
            return (
              <Box
                key={key}
                sx={{
                  borderRadius: '8px',
                  margin: '5px',
                  [`&.${autocompleteClasses.option}`]: {
                    padding: '8px',
                  },
                }}
                component="li"
                {...optionProps}
              >
                {ownerState.getOptionLabel(option)}
              </Box>
            );

        const matches = match(option.title, inputValue, { insideWords: true });
        const parts = parse(option.title, matches);

        return (

Custom filter

The component exposes a factory to create a filter method that can be provided to the filterOptions prop. You can use it to change the default option filter behavior.

import { createFilterOptions } from '@mui/material/Autocomplete';

createFilterOptions(config) => filterOptions

Arguments

  1. config (object [optional]):
  • config.ignoreAccents (bool [optional]): Defaults to true. Remove diacritics.
  • config.ignoreCase (bool [optional]): Defaults to true. Lowercase everything.
  • config.limit (number [optional]): Default to null. Limit the number of suggested options to be shown. For example, if config.limit is 100, only the first 100 matching options are shown. It can be useful if a lot of options match and virtualization wasn't set up.
  • config.matchFrom ('any' | 'start' [optional]): Defaults to 'any'.
  • config.stringify (func [optional]): Controls how an option is converted into a string so that it can be matched against the input text fragment.
  • config.trim (bool [optional]): Defaults to false. Remove trailing spaces.

Returns

filterOptions: the returned filter method can be provided directly to the filterOptions prop of the Autocomplete component, or the parameter of the same name for the hook.

In the following demo, the options need to start with the query prefix:

const filterOptions = createFilterOptions({
  matchFrom: 'start',
  stringify: (option) => option.title,
});

<Autocomplete filterOptions={filterOptions} />;
import TextField from '@mui/material/TextField';
import Autocomplete, { createFilterOptions } from '@mui/material/Autocomplete';

Advanced

For richer filtering mechanisms, like fuzzy matching, it's recommended to look at match-sorter. For instance:

import { matchSorter } from 'match-sorter';

const filterOptions = (options, { inputValue }) => matchSorter(options, inputValue);

<Autocomplete filterOptions={filterOptions} />;

Events

If you would like to prevent the default key handler behavior, you can set the event's defaultMuiPrevented property to true:

<Autocomplete
  onKeyDown={(event) => {
    if (event.key === 'Enter') {
      // Prevent's default 'Enter' behavior.
      event.defaultMuiPrevented = true;
      // your handler code
    }
  }}
/>

Limitations

autocomplete/autofill

Browsers have heuristics to help the user fill in form inputs. However, this can harm the UX of the component.

By default, the component disables the input autocomplete feature (remembering what the user has typed for a given field in a previous session) with the autoComplete="off" attribute. Google Chrome does not currently support this attribute setting (Issue 41239842). A possible workaround is to remove the id to have the component generate a random one.

In addition to remembering past entered values, the browser might also propose autofill suggestions (saved login, address, or payment details). In the event you want the avoid autofill, you can try the following:

  • Name the input without leaking any information the browser can use. For example id="field1" instead of id="country". If you leave the id empty, the component uses a random id.

  • Set autoComplete="new-password" (some browsers will suggest a strong password for inputs with this attribute setting):

    <TextField
      {...params}
      slotProps={{
        ...params.slotProps,
        htmlInput: {
          ...params.slotProps.htmlInput,
          autoComplete: 'new-password',
        },
      }}
    />
    

Read the guide on MDN for more details.

iOS VoiceOver

VoiceOver on iOS Safari doesn't support the aria-owns attribute very well. You can work around the issue with the disablePortal prop.

ListboxComponent

If you provide a custom ListboxComponent prop, you need to make sure that the intended scroll container has the role attribute set to listbox. This ensures the correct behavior of the scroll, for example when using the keyboard to navigate.

Accessibility

(WAI-ARIA: https://www.w3.org/WAI/ARIA/apg/patterns/combobox/)

We encourage the usage of a label for the textbox. The component implements the WAI-ARIA authoring practices.
