Topic: AutoCompleter clearButton

NCIIT free asked 5 years ago


Expected behavior

when using (clearBtnClicked)="onClearButtonClick()" Event emitted when clear button is clicked

Actual behavior

Nothing happens when ClearButton clicked - icon type=button actually not represents button Also adding clearButton="false" not removes clearButton

Dear @NCIIT

In my example below, clearBtnClicked works as it should.

<form [formGroup]="testForm">
  <div class="md-form">
    <input
      formControlName="testAutocomplete"
      type="text"
      class="completer-input form-control mdb-autocomplete mb-0"
      [mdbAutoCompleter]="auto"
      (clearBtnClicked)="onClearButtonClick()"
      autocomplete="off"
      placeholder="Choose your color"
    />
    <mdb-auto-completer #auto="mdbAutoCompleter" [clearButton]="false" textNoResults="I have found no results :(">
      <mdb-option *ngFor="let option of results | async" [value]="option">
        {{ option }}
      </mdb-option>
    </mdb-auto-completer>
  </div>
</form>

TS:

  results: Observable<string[]>;
  data: any = ['red', 'green', 'blue', 'cyan', 'magenta', 'yellow', 'black'];

  testForm: FormGroup;

  constructor() {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.testForm = new FormGroup({
      testAutocomplete: new FormControl('red'),
    });

    this.results = this.testForm.controls.testAutocomplete.valueChanges.pipe(
      startWith('red'),
      map((value: string) => this.filter(value))
    );
  }

  filter(value: string): string[] {
    const filterValue = value.toLowerCase();
    return this.data.filter((item: any) => item.toLowerCase().includes(filterValue));
  }

  onClearButtonClick() {
    console.log('Clear...');
  }

Also, to hide clearButton try with [clearButton]="false" - we will correct our documentation as soon as possible.

Best Regards, Bartosz.

I have created test with your code and it's working, but it's still fails to generate clearButton code on main project, looking at elements source code I'm getting:

svg icon and commented button code


Bartosz Termena staff commented 5 years ago

Dear @NCIIT

What do you mean "fails to generate clearButton" ?

[clearButton]="false"

responds for not showing clear button - was that what you meant?

Best, Bartosz.

Hi Bartosz

using 'false' button not displayed and I think I have found what happens when button shows - I'm using FontAwesome Pro SVG with JavaScript, so when button created this script changes it to icon :( Regards, Egle
