filters: autosuggest filter values #14

Closed cldellow closed 1 year ago

cldellow commented 1 year ago

related to #3 - #3 is about when you have to consult an fkey table for the label, this is about when the raw value is present

When typing in the filter box, it'd be nice if it auto-suggested options

This might require some storage in order to remember candidate values (running SELECT DISTINCT xxx FROM table is likely slow)

see also https://github.com/simonw/datasette/issues/1890, which I think I broke by making facets lazy.

That feature is only available in the 1.0 alpha series, I think. You can see it working here: https://dux-demo.fly.dev/cooking/badges?_sort=id&_dux_show_filters=1&_dux_show_filters=1&_dux_show_filters=1&_dux_show_filters=1

Hmmmm, that's a lot of _dux_show_filters. Maybe now that we set _dux_show_filters=1, we don't need the hidden input? Fixed in https://github.com/cldellow/datasette-ui-extras/commit/72bfdd111389b1712f91773272ccd426b116322e

The datalist autosuggest is something, gonna close this. If we do anything, it'll be in the omnibox, as that's most discoverable
