Topic: Object as mdb-option [value]
Expected behavior
I would like to add objects (not strings) as [value] parameter of mdb-option, BUT show
other some property of the selected object in the autocomplete field.
I'm looking for something like displayWith in angular-material autocomplete:https://material.angular.io/components/autocomplete/overview
Actual behavior
When I use object as mdb-option value, I'm getting [object Object] in the completer input field.
I tried (select) and override the input, but sometimes the internal select function runs slower and finally I've got [object Object] back.
Resources (screenshots, code snippets etc.)
I wanted to insert a code but this thing can't format it :(
I have this issue as well. There is a [displayValue]="onDisplayValue" attribute that allows you to have a function (onDisplayValue) that will take the option and return the string to display, but the angular does not compile when you have an object for the value.
Unfortunately we don't have any feature similar to displayWith in current version. I agree that this is must have for this component. I already created task with high priority for that.
