Vue ComboBox

The Kendo UI for Vue ComboBox is a component that lets you choose a single predefined value from a list and is a richer version of the <select> element. Data filtering, data virtualization, and appearance customization are part of the key features of the component. Tested against the popular screen readers, the ComboBox follows the WAI-ARIA best practices, has built-in keyboard navigation, and is compliant with the Section 508 requirements.

The ComboBox component can be bound to an array of primitive data types(int, string, etc.) or Datasets of objects.

When scrolling through long lists of items is not an option, the ComboBox is here to help you. Start typing the text you’re looking for, and it will filter the data to show you only the relevant items to choose from. Define the number of characters the user should enter before they get the filtered list, use built-in filter operators, or implement your own filtering logic by, for example, requesting the items from the server every time.

The Combobox provides suggestions that appear while the user types in its input field. It automatically completes the user input with the first result that matches the entered text.

With the custom rendering of Kendo UI for Vue ComboBox, you can customize different sections of the component through templates.  You can modify the:

• Item template – defines how the individual items will be rendered. Make the item more attractive by displaying more than just their text
• Header – custom design above the list of items in the dropdown
• Footer – always visible below the list of items
• No data template – what data will appear in the popup when there are no matching records

Group similar data items in logical categories to help users quickly and easily navigate through the drop-down list. Define the field responsible for each category while you bind your dataset to the Vue ComboBox component.

The virtual scrolling provided by the ComboBox component is an alternative to the paging and is useful for displaying large sets of data. When the popup list is scrolled, the ComboBox reuses the existing items to display the relevant data instead of creating new ones.
