Horsey is a progressive, customizable autocomplete component written in vanilla JavaScript (ES6) with no framework dependencies. It supports static lists, lazy AJAX-loaded suggestions, key/value pairs, custom rendering, and suggestion limits.

Use cases

• add autocomplete to a text input in vanilla JavaScript
• load typeahead suggestions lazily via AJAX when a field is focused
• render custom suggestion items with images or HTML
• attach key-value autocomplete suggestions to a form field
• limit the number of autocomplete suggestions displayed

When to choose

• you need a lightweight, dependency-free autocomplete for plain JavaScript apps
• you want full control over how suggestions are rendered
• you need lazy-loaded suggestions fetched only when the input is focused

When to avoid

• you use React, Vue, or Angular and prefer framework-native autocomplete components
• you need actively maintained software with recent feature development
• you need mobile-first or accessibility-certified combobox behavior out of the box
