Data Binding
The AutoComplete enables you to bind it to local data by using arrays of primitive and complex values as well as to remote data by using a service, an asynchronous source, or observables.
Binding to Local Data
When binding it to local data, the AutoComplete provides options for:
- Binding to arrays of primitive data (strings, numbers, or other)
- Binding to arrays of complex data (objects)
Arrays of Primitive Data
The following example demonstrates how to bind the AutoComplete to an array of primitive data.
Arrays of Complex Data
When the component is bound to objects, define the valueField input. valueField has to point to a property of type string. As a result, the AutoComplete extracts the input from the selected data item and in this way sets the value of the component.
The following example demonstrates how to bind the AutoComplete to an array of complex data.
Binding to Remote Data
When binding it to remote data, the AutoComplete provides options for:
Services
The following example demonstrates how to bind the AutoComplete to remote data by using a service.
Async Pipe
The following example demonstrates how to bind the AutoComplete to an asynchronous source.
Streaming of Data
You can also bind the AutoComplete to asynchronous data (observables) by using the async pipe.
The following example demonstrates how to utilize this approach—the demo starts with an empty observable, produces one random value each second, and emits values in batches of five.
