Creating a live user filter using HTML and JavaScript involves creating a search input that filters through a list of users as you type. Below is an example of how to achieve this:

HTML

First, set up the basic structure with a search input and a list of users.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8" />
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0" />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="style.css" />
    <title>Live User Filter</title>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div class="container">
      <header class="header">
        <h4 class="title">Live User Filter</h4>
        <small class="subtitle">Search by name and/or location</small>
        <input type="text" id="filter" placeholder="Search">
      </header>

      <ul id="result" class="user-list">
        <li>
          <h3>Loading...</h3>
        </li>
      </ul>
    </div>
    <script src="script.js"></script>
  </body>
</html>

 

CSS

Style the input and list to make it look clean.

@import url('https://fonts.googleapis.com/css2?family=Roboto:wght@400;700&display=swap');

* {
  box-sizing: border-box;
}

body {
  background-color: #f8f9fd;
  font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif;
  display: flex;
  align-items: center;
  justify-content: center;
  height: 100vh;
  overflow: hidden;
  margin: 0;
}

.container {
  border-radius: 5px;
  box-shadow: 3px 3px 10px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);
  overflow: hidden;
  width: 300px;
}

.title {
  margin: 0;
}

.subtitle {
  display: inline-block;
  margin: 5px 0 20px;
  opacity: 0.8;
}

.header {
  background-color: #3e57db;
  color: #fff;
  padding: 30px 20px;
}

.header input {
  background-color: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.3);
  border: 0;
  border-radius: 50px;
  color: #fff;
  font-size: 14px;
  padding: 10px 15px;
  width: 100%;
}

.header input:focus {
  outline: none;
}

.user-list {
  background-color: #fff;
  list-style-type: none;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  max-height: 400px;
  overflow-y: auto;
}

.user-list li {
  display: flex;
  padding: 20px;
}

.user-list img {
  border-radius: 50%;
  object-fit: cover;
  height: 50px;
  width: 50px;
}

.user-list .user-info {
  margin-left: 10px;
}

.user-list .user-info h4 {
  margin: 0 0 10px;
}

.user-list .user-info p {
  font-size: 12px;
}

.user-list li:not(:last-of-type) {
  border-bottom: 1px solid #eee;
}

.user-list li.hide {
  display: none;
}

 

JavaScript

Add functionality to filter the user list based on the search input.

const result = document.getElementById('result')
const filter = document.getElementById('filter')
const listItems = []

getData()

filter.addEventListener('input', (e) => filterData(e.target.value))

async function getData() {
    const res = await fetch('https://randomuser.me/api?results=50')

    const { results } = await res.json()

    // Clear result
    result.innerHTML = ''

    results.forEach(user => {
        const li = document.createElement('li')

        listItems.push(li)

        li.innerHTML = `
            <img src="${user.picture.large}" alt="${user.name.first}">
            <div class="user-info">
                <h4>${user.name.first} ${user.name.last}</h4>
                <p>${user.location.city}, ${user.location.country}</p>
            </div>
        `

        result.appendChild(li)
    })
}

function filterData(searchTerm) {
    listItems.forEach(item => {
        if(item.innerText.toLowerCase().includes(searchTerm.toLowerCase())) {
            item.classList.remove('hide')
        } else {
            item.classList.add('hide')
        }
    })
}

 

Explanation

  1. HTML:
    • A simple input field for the search functionality.
    • An unordered list (<ul>) with list items (<li>) representing the users.
  2. CSS:
    • Styles to ensure the input and list look clean and are easy to interact with.
  3. JavaScript:
    • An event listener on the search input that listens for the keyup event.
    • The keyup event is triggered whenever a key is released after being pressed.
    • The value of the input is used to filter through the list of users.
    • Each list item is checked to see if it contains the filter text. If it does, it is displayed; otherwise, it is hidden.

This setup creates a live filter that updates as the user types, providing immediate feedback and a smooth user experience.
