React Autocomplete

You have an array of people. Implement the Autocomplete component using Bulma Dropdown that will suggest people matching an entered text.

• suggestions should appear after some delay in typing (debounce);
• the delay should be customizable via props (default value is 300ms);
• show the list of all people when input is focused but empty (Check this to see how it can work)
• show No matching suggestions message if there are no people containing the entered text;
• don't run filtering again if the text has not changed (pause in typing happened when the text was the same as before)
• hide suggestions on text change;
• save selected suggestion text to the input on click and close the list;
• pass selected person to the onSelected callback passed via props;
• add an h1 to the App showing Name (born - died) of the selected person or No selected person.
• when the selected person is displayed in the title, but the value in the input changes, the selected person should be cleared and No selected person should be shown.

Instructions

• Install Prettier Extention and use this VSCode settings to enable format on save.
• Implement a solution following the React task guideline.
• Use the React TypeScript cheat sheet.
• Replace <your_account> with your Github username in the DEMO LINK and add it to the PR description.
• Don't remove the data-qa attributes. It is required for tests.

Troubleshooting

If you have got an error during npm install like this (when it tries to install node-sass):

npm ERR! code ELIFECYCLE
npm ERR! errno 1
npm ERR! [email protected] postinstall: `node scripts/build.js`
npm ERR! Exit status 1
npm ERR!
npm ERR! Failed at the [email protected] postinstall script.
npm ERR! This is probably not a problem with npm. There is likely additional logging output above.

Solutions:

• Install sass library instead of node-sass:

  npm uninstall node-sass
  npm install sass --save-dev

• Alternative solution is to install node-sass@npm:sass version:

  npm install node-sass@npm:sass --save-dev
