Thanks Michael!
This looks quite simple but you probably saved me two to four hours of
figuring out which lib to use, how to invoke the completion and how to
shape the server response. Will try to use it in my app tomorrow.
And since there has been a question on this list recently which sites
are built on BaseX, I will add to the list the site that I’m currently
working on (Hogrefe Publishing’s Clinical Handbook of Psychotropic
Drugs) probably in September, when it will have been relaunched.
Accessing the site requires a subscription though, but maybe the
publisher will decide that at least the search be free, enticing more
mental health practitioners into subscribing when they want to access
the search results…

Hi Gerrit,
I came up with the following example —
https://git.basex.io/basex-public/mailinglist-autocomplete
Hope this helps — feel free to ask for more. I simply chose the first autocomplete
library that showed up when asking google for "autocomplete lightweight“ ;-)
Probably the most relevant changes compared to the default BaseX Config files
are here:
Changed the Servlet mapping, so RESTXQ is output at `/api` (and not /)
https://git.basex.io/basex-public/mailinglist-autocomplete/-/blob/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml#L83
And static-files are output at: `/` instead of the default `/static`
https://git.basex.io/basex-public/mailinglist-autocomplete/-/blob/main/webapp/WEB-INF/web.xml#L140
If you simply clone my repo, the relevant parts should be „correct“ — according
to my personal taste ;-)
Feel free to ask for more help.

Hi List,
Can anyone recommend a lightweight vanilla Javascript autocomplete library that
can easily be used together with BaseX RESTXQ? Maybe even a readily
cloneable/modifiable example?
I don’t have a preference for a server response format. The RESTXQ service may
be configured to return XML, JSON, or HTML
No CORS restrictions need to be considered, the query host is the same that
delivers the HTML pages.
