Component - Library Employee Search (Basic)

[spelkey-ucd]

Basic typeahead input dropdown that queries our employees at iam.staff.library

• remember to put in query delay, so as to not query on every input change
• have minimum character count before allowing a query
• maybe display name, title, and department in drop down
• icon changes based on state - no selection, searching, selection, error
• use kerb as the selected value
• add listener to anytime selected kerb changes, fetch full record
• if employee is no longer in iam.staff, handle gracefully
• emit events on search and user select

Dependent on completion of #16

@mjwdavis #16 has been completed, so you should now have everything you need to start on this issue.

You can use EmployeeModel.queryIam() to return the list of employees for the dropdrown, and EmployeeModel.getIamRecordById() to prepopulate the input if the selected value is already set.

You will need the token for our IAM api, so make sure to run /deploy/cmds/get-env.sh -fl to download the most recent env file from google secrets
