Autocomplete serverfiltering

[Paweł Sieniawski]

Hello,

 I'm having problem with serverside filtering using autocomplete. Due to fact that Autocomplete is still unavailable at MVC Wrapper for ASP.NET 5 MVC 6, im using following code to initialize autocomplete: 

<script>
    var dataSource = new kendo.data.DataSource({
        serverFiltering: true,
        serverOperation: true,
        type: "aspnetmvc-ajax",
        transport: {
            read: {
                url: "@Url.Content("~/api/Get")",
                type: "GET"
            }
        },
        schema: {
            data: "Data",
            total: "Total"
        }
    })

    $("#@Model.Name").kendoAutoComplete({
        placeholder: "@Model.Watermark",
        minLength: 3,
        filter: "contains",
        dataSource: dataSource

    });
</script>

 As the result Query string that is send to server always looks like this : ?sort=&group=&filter= and because of that mapping to DataSourceRequest on serverside always results with empty filters

Hello,

You should set the autocomplete dataTextField option in order for the widget to filter the dataSource.
