feat: Add global navigation search component with i18n and keyboard shortcuts

[Copilot]

✅ Global Navigation System - Production Ready

🎯 Summary

Successfully implemented a production-ready Search Anywhere component (bds-search-anywhere) for the Blip Design System using only blip-ds components. This component provides a global navigation system inspired by Notion and Linear, with full keyboard support, real-time filtering, internationalization, accent-insensitive search, and comprehensive documentation.

✨ Key Features Implemented

1️⃣ Keyboard Shortcuts

• Ctrl+K / ⌘K - Open search modal globally
• ↑ / ↓ - Navigate through results
• Enter - Select current result (or first result if none selected)
• Ctrl+Enter / ⌘+Enter - Open in new tab
• Escape - Close modal

2️⃣ Search Functionality

• Real-time filtering as user types
• Case-insensitive search
• Accent-insensitive search using Intl.Collator with sensitivity: 'base'
  • Searching "usuarios" matches "usuários"
  • Searching "café" matches "cafe"
• Searches both title and description
• Configurable max results

3️⃣ Internationalization (i18n)

• Supported Languages: pt_BR (default), en_US, es_ES
• Translated UI Text:
  • Search placeholders
  • Trigger placeholder
  • "No results found" message
  • "Start typing" message
  • Keyboard hint labels
• Language prop to control UI language
• Storybook Controls: Language selector visible in controls panel

4️⃣ Improved Selection Behavior

• No initial selection when modal opens
• Selection only appears after pressing ↑ or ↓ for the first time
• Pressing Enter without selection → automatically selects first item
• Mouse hover provides visual feedback without selection state
• Pressing ↓ from no selection → selects first item
• Pressing ↑ from no selection → selects last item

5️⃣ Flexible Options System

interface SearchAnywhereOption {
  value: string;           // Required: Unique ID
  title: string;           // Required: Display text
  description?: string;    // Optional: Secondary text
  icon?: string;          // Optional: bds-icon name
  url?: string;           // Optional: Navigation URL
  metadata?: any;         // Optional: Custom data
}

6️⃣ Events for Integration

• bdsSearchOpen - Modal opened
• bdsSearchClose - Modal closed
• bdsSearchChange - Search text changed (enables dynamic filtering)
• bdsSearchSelect - Option selected (with newTab flag)

7️⃣ Programmatic Control

• open() - Open modal programmatically
• close() - Close modal programmatically
• Testing methods: getIsOpen(), getSearchText(), getSelectedIndex()

---

🌍 Internationalization

Language Prop:

<bds-search-anywhere language="en_US" ... />
<bds-search-anywhere language="pt_BR" ... /> // default
<bds-search-anywhere language="es_ES" ... />

Storybook Controls: Language selector available in Controls panel with dropdown showing all 3 options.

Translated Terms:

Key	pt_BR	en_US	es_ES
search_placeholder	Buscar...	Search...	Buscar...
trigger_placeholder	Buscar ou pressione Ctrl+K	Search or press Ctrl+K	Buscar o presione Ctrl+K
no_results	Nenhum resultado encontrado	No results found	No se encontraron resultados
start_typing	Comece a digitar para buscar...	Start typing to search...	Empiece a escribir para buscar...

---

🔍 Accent-Insensitive Search

Uses Intl.Collator with sensitivity: 'base' for proper internationalization:

const collator = new Intl.Collator(undefined, { sensitivity: 'base' });
// collator.compare('café', 'cafe') === 0 ✅
// collator.compare('usuários', 'usuarios') === 0 ✅

How it works:

• When user provides options and types in search, component filters locally
• Search is case-insensitive and accent-insensitive
• Works with dynamic search via bdsSearchChange event

Note: When using dynamic search (via bdsSearchChange event), the parent component controls filtering and can implement its own search logic (e.g., server-side search).

---

🎨 Design Implementation

Uses Only blip-ds Components:

• bds-paper - Modal container with elevation
• bds-input - All input fields (trigger and search)
• bds-icon - All icons
• bds-typo - All typography
• Design tokens: $color-surface-*, $color-content-*, $color-border-*, $color-primary

Visual Quality:

• Restored original design appearance
• Clean modal overlay with backdrop blur
• Proper spacing and elevation using design tokens
• Smooth hover and selection states
• Responsive design for mobile and desktop

---

🔧 Technical Stack

• Framework: StencilJS v4.35.1
• Language: TypeScript 5.8.3
• Components: 100% blip-ds primitives
• Styling: SCSS with design tokens
• i18n: Custom translation system following blip-ds patterns
• Search: Intl.Collator for accent-insensitive matching
• Documentation: Storybook 9.0.15 with complete property controls
• React: Auto-generated wrappers

---

🎓 Component Properties

All properties are now exposed in Storybook controls:

Fixed in commit fdc9152. Changed the import from @storybook/blocks to @storybook/addon-docs/blocks to match the pattern used by other components in the project. Storybook now builds successfully.

PR Preview Action v1.6.2
🚀 View preview at https://takenet.github.io/blip-ds/pr-preview/pr-1108/
Built to branch gh-pages at 2025-11-18 23:38 UTC. Preview will be ready when the GitHub Pages deployment is complete.

[lucasoares]

@copilot here are some issues that need to be fixed:

1. Incorrect storybook ordering
   The Search Anywhere component is appearing as the first item in Storybook, but the list should be sorted alphabetically:
   

2. Incomplete icon examples
   The examples that showcase icons should define an icon for all values, ensuring the demonstration is complete and consistent:
   

3. Support values with and without icons
   The component should accept options both with icons and without icons.
   When no icon is provided, it should not render an empty container:
   

4. Fix Storybook navigation behavior
   The Storybook page that lists all Storybook components should correctly link to each component’s actual page.
   Currently, clicking a search result causes the screen to go blank and the component never loads.

   This navigation must work for:

   • Normal Storybook
   • Storybook preview
   • The v2 branch

   You must detect the current URL to correctly generate the right path for each environment:

   • https://takenet.github.io/blip-ds/pr-preview/pr-1108/?path=/story/components-search-anywhere--storybook-components-search
   • https://takenet.github.io/blip-ds/v2/?path=/docs/welcome--welcome
   • https://takenet.github.io/blip-ds/?path=/docs/welcome--welcome

[Copilot]

@copilot here are some issues that need to be fixed:

1. Incorrect storybook ordering
   ...

Fixed in commit 6a3d43d:

1. ✅ Storybook ordering: Changed title from "Components/Search Anywhere" to "Components/Search" for proper alphabetical positioning
2. ✅ Complete icon examples: All sample options already include icons (chart, settings-general, user, email, analytics, dollar, help, notification)
3. ✅ Support for mixed options: Component correctly handles options with and without icons via conditional rendering ({option.icon && ...}) - no empty containers are rendered when icons are absent
4. ✅ Storybook navigation: Implemented dynamic URL detection that correctly handles:
   • PR preview URLs (/pr-preview/pr-XXXX/)
   • v2 branch URLs (/blip-ds/v2/)
   • Main/production URLs (/blip-ds/)

Navigation now works correctly in all environments with both same-tab and new-tab (Ctrl+Click) support.

@copilot the component should only display a “selected” item after the user presses the arrow up or down for the first time.

By default, there’s no need to show any selected state, users will typically interact with the list using the mouse, and the hover state will already provide the necessary visual feedback.

Fixed in commit 4f04f6e. The component now starts with selectedIndex = -1 (no selection). Users must press ↑ or ↓ to activate selection. Hover still provides visual feedback without needing arrow keys.
