Use search form input instead of text

Open on Drupal.org →

Created on 22 June 2023, over 1 year ago

Problem/Motivation

When using a form element of type search_api_autocomplete it would be great to switch to an input[type="search"] so people can easily clear the search bar.

Steps to reproduce

Create a custom form and add an autocomplete form item like this:

$form['q'] = [
  '#type' => 'search_api_autocomplete',
  '#search_id' => 'content',
];

Proposed resolution

Instead of extending Drupal\Core\Render\Element\Textfield we could simply extend Drupal\Core\Render\Element\Search

There is a similar issue inside the Search API module ( ✨ How to change input type from "text" to "search" Needs work ) and there was much dispute whether this is actually a good idea.
I’ll therefore also wait for more feedback here before considering to merge this.
