Project Instructions

• This app is currently in a broken state. You must create your component and add it to ReactDOM.render in src/index.js to get started.
• Using React and CSS, create a Typeahead component that takes a list prop.
• Use the colorsList list defined in src/index.js as the value for the list prop.
  • Please do not change colorsList or its contents.
  • If you want to go above and beyond, you can add other features or use another list that you receive from an async query, as long as it still meets all the same requirements when the colorsList is passed as the list prop.

Submitting your Project

• Send the link to a public repository with your project submission to your recruitment contact.

Things we like to see

• Use of propTypes and/or other typing systems
• Responsive design
• Tasteful styling
• Tasteful animations are a bonus

Things we hope not to see

• Use of styling frameworks (Material, Bootstrap, Tailwind, etc.)
  • Styling writing libraries and pre-processors (Styled Components, SCSS, etc) are welcome but not expected.
• Copy/Pasted code from other source code

Requirements

1. As the user types in the input field, a list of options should appear below it.
   • The list should only appear when input is not empty. Whitespace is considered empty.
   • The list should contain items from the list prop that start with the user entered value. Matching should be case insensitive. Every new character typed should filter the list.
2. Clicking on a list item should populate the input with the selected item’s value and hide the list.
3. As the user types, the matching substring within the dipslayed options should be bold. The rest of the string should not be bold.
   1. Ex. When the user types bl, bl in black, blanchedalmond, blue, and blueviolet should be bold. The rest of each word should not be bold.
4. For visible options, style the substring the user has entered as bold.
5. Mousing over a list item should highlight it, at least darkening its background color. Other styling is up to you.
6. The input and list should also be navigable using the keyboard.
   • Using tab and shift+tab, the user should be able to move focus to and from the different list items.
     • With the cursor in the input, pressing the tab key should move focus to the first item with the default browser focus style.
     • Subsequent presses of the “tab” key should focus the next item in the list.
     • Pressing the shift+tab keys should focus the previous item in the list.
     • Pressing the shift+tab key when the first item is focused should focus
       the input again.
     • Mousing over other list items should highlight them while the keyboard-
       focused item remains focused.
     • Pressing the tab key when no list is visible should move focus away
       from the input.
   • Pressing the enter or return key when an item is focused should populate the input with the focused item’s value, hide the list, and focus the input again.
   • Pressing the escape key should close the list.
7. Clicking outside the input or the list should close the list.
