Pydantic UI is a way to see and edit your Pydantic models using auto generated forms and table views. Inspired by Django admin

JSON Editor: JSON Editor takes a JSON Schema and uses it to generate an HTML form.

Define a model with an autocomplete field

from pydantic_ui.datatables import DataTableModel


class MyModelClassName(DataTableModel):
    my_id_field: int
    name: str

    @classmethod
    def autocomplete_fields(cls):
        return {"name"}  # the name field is autocompleted

Now, some static JS is expected at the location: static/js/{model_class_name}/{model_field_name}.js. In our case, our model class is MyModelClassName and field is name, so our javascript must be located at static/js/MyModelClassName/related_wikipedia_title.js.

The contents of the javascript must be a variable referencing an associative array, that must have at least one key - search. The value of which is a function that returns search results based on a search parameter. Let's create a very simple function that returns a few names to choose from.

The name of the variable holding the array is important, as it must be unique. The function name must be {model_class_name}_{model_field_name}_search. All lower case.

// contents of static/js/MyModelClassName/related_wikipedia_title.js
const mymodelclassname_name_search = {
    "search": (parameter) => {
        const possibleResults = [
            "Jack Sparrow",
            "Jack Frost",
            "Jack Flash",
            "Something else"
        ];
        const searchLower = parameter.toLowerCase();
        const results = possibleResults.filter(possible => possible.toLowerCase().includes(searchLower))
        return results;
    }
}

This javascript function will check the input of the user, convert it to lower case and compare it against the possibleResults in lower case. If the current input characters match a substring of the input list, those results are returned.
