I know language is fluid and I try not to be overly prescriptivist, but I am never going to be able to accept “learnings” as a valid noun. I’ve tried, but I just can’t, and I need to accept that about myself.
@Meyerweb I'm with you, but how do you feel about “teachings?” After remembering that word, which I'm OK with, I'm torn about “learnings.” #Language#Usage

Have you ever stumbled upon those form fields that suggest options in a drop-down as you type, like when you’re entering a street address? It turns out, that making those are not as difficult as you would think! Today, I’m gonna walk you through three cool ways to pull it off using Vue.js. Let’s dive in!
Vuetify
If you are a Vue developer, you have likely used Vuetify at some point. It is an open-source UI library that offers Vue Components for all sorts of things. One of those things just happens to be Autocompletes.
Last week, I spoke about creating a repository of data for coding examples. The first one is a list of counties in the state of Wisconsin. In this example, the values from the API are stored in a counties array, the value that you entered into the input is stored in a selectedCounty variable, and the fetchCounties method fetches the values from the API. Thanks to the v-autocomplete component, it is super easy using Vuetify.
Shoelace
Shoelace (now known as Web Awesome) doesn’t have a built-in autocomplete element but there is a stretch goal on their kickstarter to add one. That means that we need to build the functionality ourselves.
Our Shoelace version has a filteredCounties variable so that we can control what is shown in the suggestions and a selectCounty method to let the user click on one of the suggestions.
Plain HTML and CSS
We have already established that Shoelace doesn’t have an autocomplete but neither does Bulma or Bootstrap. So, I figured that we would try a pure HTML and CSS autocomplete.
This is very similar to our Shoelace example but with some extra CSS on the input. You might be wondering about that autocomplete attribute on the input. It is a different type of autocomplete. The autocomplete attribute specifies if browsers should try to predict the value of an input field or not. You still need to roll your own for the suggestions.

Hey @grammargirl, I have a question that I’m hoping you can help answer. I learned at one point that the correct usage of the words comply and conform are that you comply with laws, but that products or designs conform to standards. The dictionary is not quite so definitive. What are your thoughts on this? #grammar#usage

I don't have any experience with Bubblewrap. Is it what people tend to use instead of its alternatives? Have you had a look at Firejail? I think it does what you are trying to achieve and has a lot of these preconfigured scripts for a variety of the applications you might use (they call them profiles). https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Firejail From the archwiki:
Most users will not require any custom configuration and can proceed to #Usage.
Firejail uses profiles to set the security protections for each of the applications executed inside of it - you can find the default profiles in /etc/firejail/application.profile. Should you require custom profiles for applications not included, or wish to modify the defaults, you may place new rules or copies of the defaults in the ~/.config/firejail directory. You may have multiple custom profile files for a single application, and you may share the same profile file among several applications.
If firejail does not have a profile for a particular application, it uses its restrictive system-wide default profile. This can result in the application not functioning as desired, without first creating a custom and less restrictive profile.
Note: A lot of applications won't have any read or write access anywhere but /home/$USER/Downloads. So one example from me would be that I copied the Firefox profile from /etc/firejail/firefox.locale to /home/$USER/firejail/firefox.locale and edited the latter to allow Firefox access to /home/$USER/Pictures for the sake of convenience when saving a picture.
Just my two cents in case you are not dead set on Bubblewrap.
