Combobox Rails

NOTICE: Pre-alpha. This gem in is in progress of being migrated out of a separate repo and needs work before it can be included in other projects.

To make rendering the combobox pattern with a dynamic listbox easy to access and extend.

Features

TODO

Path to being a "Real Gem"

• Figure out where dependencies live (how does gemspec x Gemfile work?)

• Reduce dependencies on other gems

  • View component -> other lib to generate HTML (view component is heavy)
  • turbo-rails (can we just use turbo?)
  • stimulus-rails (same here?)
  • sprockets -> propshaft (lighter weight lib)
  • heroicon -> static svgs? options to replace?

• Clean up the API

  • Ideally this looks a lot like a rails form field, roughly:

  <%= f.combobox :task_id, collection: collection %>
  
  <%= f.combobox :task_id, refresh_url: url, ...options do |combobox| %>
      <%= combobox.with_listbox do |listbox| %>
          <% @tasks.each do |task| %>
              <%= listbox.with_option(id: task.id) do |option| %>
                  ... # rendering option, option to specify how to render selected variant
              <% end %>
          <% end %>
      <% end %>
  <% end %>

• Migrate tests

• CI after testing is setup

• Dependency on specific translations
