Autocomplete

Framework7 comes with mobile-friendly and touch optimized Autocomplete component.

Autocomplete could be used in standalone mode or as a dropdown.

Autocomplete App Methods

Autocomplete can be created and initialized only using JavaScript. We need to use related App's method:

app.autocomplete.create(parameters)- create Autocomplete instance

  • parameters - object. Object with autocomplete parameters

Method returns created Autocomplete's instance

app.autocomplete.destroy(el)- destroy Autocomplete instance

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector) or object. Autocomplete instance to destroy.

app.autocomplete.get(el)- get Autocomplete instance by HTML element

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Autocomplete element.

Method returns Autocomplete's instance

app.autocomplete.open(el)- open Autocomplete

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Autocomplete element to open.

Method returns Autocomplete's instance

app.autocomplete.close(el)- closes Autocomplete

  • el - HTMLElement or string (with CSS Selector). Autocomplete element to close.

Method returns Autocomplete's instance

For example:

var autocomplete = app.autocomplete.create({
  inputEl: '#autocomplete-dropdown',
  openIn: 'dropdown',
  source: function (query, render) {
    ...
  }
});
