The topic of this new Live Coding Session is "Autocomplete Omnibar - Trigger user interactions directly from your search box with Autocomplete.js".

Bryan Robinson, Sr Developer Advocate at Algolia, will walk you through setting up Autocomplete to fire interactions with JavaScript. Specifically, we'll build an omnibar to toggle light and dark mode for our website. An omnibar is a search field that has both search and actions that can be taken. A strong example of this is the Chrome or Firefox search and URL bar.

In the search field, a user will be able to type in / commands. These commands will be tied to specific JavaScript methods to trigger. We'll also make the Autocomplete results stateful. When the app is in light mode, the light mode option will show an "enabled" flag. When dark mode is enabled, the dark mode option will show the flag.
