Karina to provide design support.

ADO Task

[gouttierre]

📢 "In preview searchbox"

[briandrouin]

@gouttierre per Karina initial Searchbox and dropdown completed from design, but the dropdown search result component still needs to be built. We can discuss more in our 1:1 on Wednesday.

📢 "Component is in preview. Karina has finished designing the initial Searchbox and dropdown, but the dropdown search result component is yet to be built."
"The design specifications are ready, and @JustSlone will follow up with @smhigley to evaluate how easy it will be to implement the required functionality. "

Next steps

Dropping in an outline of the next steps for a SearchBar (or name TBD) control that combines both SearchBox and a combobox-like results dropdown.

• [x] Move SearchBox to stable -- this should be fine pending a final design review.
• [x] Combobox migrates to a hook for managing roving activedescendant values. This would involve a fairly big refactor as part of the pickers work (the current approach would be to re-use the useCombobox hook directly), so it makes sense to wait till this is done before working on combo-search. (cc/ @ling1726).
• [x] Final design spec review (this has already been reviewed, but should probably be looked over by whoever picks up the dev work).
  • [ ] Related: consider whether we need an abstracted layout component for the icon + text + secondary text option layout that would be reusable between Search, Combobox/Dropdown, and potentially other controls. This can also come later, and shouldn't block SearchBar.
• [ ] Build SearchBar, using the following controls:
  • SearchBox as the input/trigger - this already has all the styles, slots and layout for the collapsed state
  • Listbox + Popover as the popup
  • The new activedescendant hook
  • Although with the proposed abstracted activedescendant approach we won't need to use Combobox directly, it'll probably still make sense to look at some of the interaction from Combobox, especially around selection and open/close behavior.

I think that's everything! The bulk of the dev work should be around hooking up the SearchBox and Listbox (and potentially some combobox hooks) so roving activedescendant and selection work. The existing components should already have all the visual styles and basic functionality covered.

• @smhigley I see that this is ready to go to stable after a final design review. Do you have a date in mind? I believe design is happy with the spec. What are the next steps for the engineering team? Please let us know if you need any assistance. cc @behowell , @tudorpopams, @JustSlone

• In stable. ✨

@gouttierre thanks for the update! I'm slightly confused, though, why it was moved out of Preview Components when the current version of react-components (9.47.5) doesn't contain the stable SearchBox component.
