Topic: mdb-auto-completer component displayValue - get selected value
Jared Bratu pro asked 5 years ago
I'm trying to use the displayValue input of the MdbAutoCompleterComponent by adding [displayValue]="onDisplayValue" to my template. The onDisplayValue function is triggering and I'm able to set a value, i.e.
onDisplayValue () { return 'some display value'; }
This will cause 'some display value' to appear in the field.
The problem is I can't determine what value was selected for the onDisplayValue function to alter it. The displayValue function seems to trigger before the data-bound element is set or the select/selected outputs are emitted.
How can I get the value of what was selected or entered in the mdb-auto-completer function using the displayValue input?

I found the answer. The displayValue function has one parameter which is the value selected. If I change my onDisplayValue function to:
onDisplayValue (v) {
return 'now displaying ' + v;
}
Everything works as expected. The documentation about displayValue wasn't clear.
