Inline Typeahead

The field completes the match and selects what it added — like a browser address bar; the next keystroke replaces the tail.

  1. 1. Copy the link.
  2. 2. Write to your agent in your own words and drop the link into the sentence.
  3. 3. The agent opens the link and installs the component from the registry.

# Install and place "autocomplete-012" (Inline Typeahead) from VibeUI

## 1. Install first — do not skip, do not recreate
Run this exact command before writing any code:
npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.ru/r/autocomplete-012.json

Registry item: https://vibeui.ru/r/autocomplete-012.json
Installs to: components/vibeui/autocomplete-012.tsx (the exact path follows this project's components.json aliases).
npm dependencies: none.
Registry dependencies: none.

Install it from the registry. Do not recreate it from the description,
do not substitute a similar component from another library, and do not
rewrite it to match the project's existing style.

## 2. What it is
The field completes the match and selects what it added — like a browser address bar; the next keystroke replaces the tail.

Inline completion inside the field: the match is filled in, the added tail stays selected, and the next keystroke replaces it. No dropdown at all. Zero dependencies, one file, its own palette.

## 3. How to use it
import { Autocomplete012 } from "@/components/vibeui/autocomplete-012"

<Autocomplete012
  options={["docs.example.com", "status.example.com"]}
  onChange={(value) => console.log(value)}
/>

Read the installed file for the full prop list.

## 4. Where to place it
This is a small inline component. Put it exactly where the user asked,
inside the existing markup. Do not create a new page, section or
wrapper for it. If a similar control already sits in that spot,
replace it instead of adding a second one.

Placement: ___
(The user fills this line in. If it is still blank, ask where to put it
instead of guessing.)

## 5. Keep exactly as installed
- the local --vibeui-autocomplete-012-* palette — do not swap it for your theme tokens
- setting the selection in an effect after render: before it the input still holds the old value
- refusing to complete while deleting — otherwise a stray character can never be erased
- selecting the tail instead of greying it out: a selection is replaced by the next keystroke on its own
- aria-autocomplete="inline": in-field completion is announced differently from a list
- the custom ::selection colour — the system blue reads as a manual selection

## 6. You may change
- the options array — where matches come from
- the label, placeholder and hint copy
- the onChange handler
- the accent through the accent prop

## 7. Rules
- This suits short predictable values — addresses, domains, codes. On long phrases completion is irritating.
- Matching is prefix-based: substring search makes inline completion meaningless.
- Mobile keyboards with autocorrect may behave differently: test on a device.
- Do not lift the CSS variables into globals.css: the component has to stay a single file.

## 8. Verify
- it renders with no console errors;
- it looks like the preview on the VibeUI page you copied this from;
- if it does not, you changed something listed in section 5 — put it back.

For developers

npx shadcn@latest add https://vibeui.ru/r/autocomplete-012.json
https://vibeui.ru/r/autocomplete-012.json

Компонент самодостаточен: один файл, без зависимостей, собственная палитра в локальных переменных --vibeui-autocomplete-012-*. Клиентский: "use client". Диапазон выделения кладётся в ref и применяется в эффекте после отрисовки: до неё в поле ещё старое значение. Удаление символов подсказку не включает, иначе стереть лишнее невозможно. Поле объявлено aria-autocomplete="inline", цвет выделения задан через ::selection.

Component source

The same file your agent installs. Here in case you would rather copy it by hand.

"use client"

import { useEffect, useId, useRef, useState } from "react"
import type {
  ChangeEvent,
  ComponentPropsWithoutRef,
  CSSProperties,
} from "react"

export type Autocomplete012Props = Omit<
  ComponentPropsWithoutRef<"div">,
  "children" | "onChange" | "defaultValue"
> & {
  label?: string
  placeholder?: string
  options?: string[]
  defaultValue?: string
  onChange?: (value: string) => void
  accent?: string
}

// Идея компонента: поле само дописывает совпадение и выделяет дописанное —
// как адресная строка браузера. Следующая буква заменяет выделение, поэтому
// набор не ломается; удаление подсказку не включает, иначе стереть лишнее
// становится невозможно. Выделение ставится после отрисовки: до неё в поле
// ещё старое значение.
