Dear all,

I would like to add a search field, where the user can select from a list of predefined tags. Do you know of any multiselect input field with autocomplete for aurelia? I found some for react, ng, jquery, native javascript but for aurelia I only found an old undocumented one:

In the past I had some difficulties porting native javascript components to aurelia.

Any help is appreciated.

Cheers,

Bruno

Well, you can use a regular with `list` attribute: [HTML input list Attribute](https://www.w3schools.com/TAGS/att_input_list.asp)

Hi @mreiche,

Thanks, but this is not exactly what I was looking for. At the end I finished developing it myself. You can find a prototype here: [GistRun](https://gist.run/?id=4ccd0dcc442adb1dfed1c9b074da2fe3)

Cheers

I recommend [Tagify - Tags input Component](https://yaireo.github.io/tagify/)

although it’s not directly for aurelia, it’s still very easy to use in aurelia (just as all other JS plugins…)
