Tutorial: Auto Search Using JavaScript with Source Code

In this code we will tackle about Auto Search using JavaScript. The program will enable to automatically search a row data. You are free to modify, and use this code. To learn more about this, just follow the steps below.

Getting started:

First you have to download bootstrap framework, this is the link for the bootstrap that I used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/.

The Main Interface

This code contains the interface of the application. To create this just write these block of code inside the text editor and save this as index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
	<head>
		<meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
		<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css"/>
	</head>
<body>
	<nav class="navbar navbar-default">
		<div class="container-fluid">
			<a class="navbar-brand" href="https://sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
		</div>
	</nav>
	<div class="col-md-3"></div>
	<div class="col-md-6 well">
		<h3 class="text-primary">Auto Search Using JavaScript</h3>
		<hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
		<div class="col-md-4">
			<div class="form-group">
				<label>Enter a name</label>
				<div class="input-group">
					<div class="input-group-addon"><span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search"></span></div>
					<input type="text" id="search" placeholder="Search here..." onkeyup="autoSearch()" class="form-control"/>
				</div>
			</div>
		</div>
 
		<table class="table table-bordered">
			<thead class="alert-info">
				<tr>
					<th>Member List</th>
				</tr>
			</thead>
			<tbody id="result"></tbody>
		</table>
		<ul class="list-group" id="list"></ul>
 
	</div>
<script src="js/script.js"></script>
</body>
</html>

Creating the Script

This code contains the script of the application. The code will automatically search a specific keyword. To do this just copy and write these block of codes inside the text editor, then save it as script.js inside the js folder.

var members = ['Tony Stark', 'Jin Mori', 'Luke Cage'];
 
displayMember();
 
function displayMember(){
	members.sort(function(a,b){
		if(a < b){
			return -1;
		}
 
		if(a > b){
			return 1;
		}
 
		return 0;
	});
 
	data = "";
 
	for(var i=0; i < members.length; i++){
		data += "<tr><td>"+members[i]+"</td></tr>";
	}
 
	document.getElementById('result').innerHTML = data;
}
 
function autoSearch(){
	var search=document.getElementById('search').value.toLowerCase();
	var parent=document.getElementById("result");
	var children=parent.getElementsByTagName('tr');
 
	for(var i=0; i<children.length; i++){
		var keyword=children[i].innerText;
		if(keyword.toLowerCase().indexOf(search)>-1){
			children[i].style.display="";
		}else{
			children[i].style.display = "none";
		}
	}
 
}
