Overview

Quick Search is an exclusive advanced component of Rider HTML Pro that provides a flexible and powerful UI component to manage and handle layouts related to search. Quick Search also comes with multiple custom hook points to allow advanced users to bind custom JS or search logic to control and manipulate our Quick Search component.
The Quick Search component is a frontend only solution that manages element display orders and event triggers to show/hide certain layers. However, the search logic backend functionality is not included.

Usage

Quick Search  hooks are globally included in our scripts bundle, however, initialization is manually controlled and is required to be included. 
<link href="assets/css/style.bundle.css" rel="stylesheet" type="text/css"/>
<script src="assets/js/scripts.bundle.js"></script>

Initialization

  • The Quick Search component is a highly robust and flexible frontend solution that comes with number of HTML elements to provide a rapid search layout. Quick Search starts with a simple div element that houses a number of HTML attributes to control and configure the Quick Search component. See below for more info.
  • Quick Search structure comes in a few layers.
    • Main Wrapper
    • Toggle Button
    • Main Content Element
    • Main Content Inner Wrapper
    • Input Form
    • Search Suggestion
    • Search Preference
    • Search Advanced Options
    • Search Results
    • Empty Search
  • Each search UI HTML element within the main wrapper can be identified by the data-kt-search-element HTML attribute with a specific value. For example, data-kt-search-element="toggle" indicates that the current HTML element is a Toggle Button. See below for more info.
  • Quick Search uses our extended Bootstrap's utility classes for styling.
  • Quick Search instances can also be controlled programmatically. See below for more info.

Basic Layout

Here's a basic example of our Quick Search.
In this demo, we're simulating the search results by randomly showing and hiding the search results layer on keypress within the input field.

Responsive Layout

This demo showcases Search UI's responsive solution. It displays as a full inline input field on large screens, and converts into an icon toggle button on smaller screens.
In this demo, we're simulating the search results by randomly showing and hiding the search results layer on keypress within the input field. 
var processs = function(search) {
    var timeout = setTimeout(function() {
        var number = KTUtil.getRandomInt(1, 3);
