Structure

Follow these steps to successfully build out a search bar component. Start by adding a <pearson-search-bar> element.

<pearson-search-bar></pearson-search-bar>

To include a search options menu add a <ul> element with a class of search-options as a child of the <pearson-search-bar> element.

<pearson-search-bar>    <ul class="search-options">
    </ul></pearson-search-bar>

For each option you want to appear as search criteria, add an <li> element.

<pearson-search-bar>    <ul class="search-options">        <li>first option</li>        <li>second option</li>        <li>third option</li>    </ul></pearson-search-bar>

To include additional filters add a <ul> with a class of filter-options.

<pearson-search-bar>    <ul class="search-options">        <li>first option</li>        <li>second option</li>        <li>third option</li>    </ul>    <ul class="filter-options">            </ul></pearson-search-bar>

For each filter option you want to appear, add an <li> element.

<pearson-search-bar>    <ul slot="search-options">        <li>first option</li>        <li>second option</li>        <li>third option</li>    </ul>    <search-bar-filter slot="filter">        <li>filter one</li>        <li>filter two</li>        <li>filter three</li>    </search-bar-filter></pearson-search-bar>
