Search

A general purpose search component with optional result display

Most of this components inputs and outputs are fairly self explanatory. The one that might confuse some people is itemTemplates. This crucial input is how we tell the search component how to render our "rich" search results. In order to render out your search results, the search component simply takes the information attached to each SearchItem in your list of searchResults and plugs it in to one of the provided templates. Anything available in the SearchItem.context will be exposed to the template. See "let-user" above. This article does a pretty good job of explaining TemplateRefs and how to use them: https://alligator.io/angular/reusable-components-ngtemplateoutlet/ (However, you should be able to get by just fine simply basing any new work on these stories)
