[Geomoose-users] adding examples to our searches

[Christopher Hughes]

I don't think this is currently an option, though I think it's definitely a
good idea.

I think I figured out a way to do this, though I needed to edit the source
code and rebuild the javascript.

I added a line of code at line 74 of text.js
<https://github.com/geomoose/gm3/blob/main/src/gm3/components/serviceInputs/text.js>
(note
that I named it 'example'):

            <div className='service-input'>
                <label htmlFor={ 'input-' + id }>{ this.props.field.label }
</label>
                <example htmlFor={ 'input-' + id }>{
this.props.field.example }</example>
                <input onChange={this.onChange} value={this.state.value}
type="text" id={ 'input-' + id}></input>
            </div>

After rebuilding the javascript I was then able to add examples to searches
in the app.js file:

            {type: 'text', label: 'Owner Name', example: '(i.e. Hughes)',
name: 'OwnName'},
            {type: 'text', label: 'Situs Address', example: '(i.e. 10770
ELK CITY RD)', name: 'SitusAll'},
            {type: 'text', label: 'Map Taxlot', example: '(i.e.
11-10-00-00-00300-00)', name: 'ParcelID'},
            {type: 'text', label: 'Account Number', name: 'PropertyId'}

You can then modify your site.css to decrease the size.

This was my end result:

Hope this helps,

Chris
