But everything indicates that this.optionsSelect.push (data) can not be performed on the ngOnInit ()

Arkadiusz Idzikowski staff commented 5 years ago

The 'push' method won't work, because Angular only run change detection when array reference has changed. We explained that in our documentation:

https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/angular/forms/select/#update-options

For further questions about MDB Angular components, please create new topic in Angular section.

Hello:

Try this:

for (var _i = 0; _i < this.user.olsClientes.length; _i++) { var olsClientes = this.user.olsClientes[_i]; var inc = +_i; const data = { value: inc.toString(), label: olsClientes.ClaveCliente }; // this.optionsSelect.push(data); this.optionsSelect = [...this.optionsSelect, {value: inc.toString(),label: olsClientes.ClaveCliente}]; console.log('this.optionsSelect: ', this.optionsSelect); console.log('Data: ', data); }

But I get the following error:

ProductosListComponent.html:7 ERROR TypeError: Cannot read property 'concat' of undefined at ClientBarComponent.ngOnInit (client-bar.component.ts:64) at checkAndUpdateDirectiveInline (core.js:9250) at checkAndUpdateNodeInline (core.js:10514) at checkAndUpdateNode (core.js:10476) at debugCheckAndUpdateNode (core.js:11109) at debugCheckDirectivesFn (core.js:11069) at Object.eval [as updateDirectives] (ProductosListComponent.html:2) at Object.debugUpdateDirectives [as updateDirectives] (core.js:11061) at checkAndUpdateView (core.js:10458) at callViewAction (core.js:10699)

How do I find my question in the Angular section since a few days ago I formulated one?

Best regards.

Please try to initialize your optionsSelect array:

public optionsSelect = [];

You can use search at the top of the support page to find existing question.

I created a wrapper component that uses MDB Select and provide values that are needed based on PropTypes. Search works when the Options passed are fixed and hard coded but not when derived from component state. Note that the "option" variable is from a state value. Here are 2 option samples: (I'm searching for "VX-520" thinking search checks by text)

checked: false, disabled: false, icon: "SX425.jpg">SX425.jpg">SX425.jpg">SX425.jpg">https://api.360payments.com/p/4988-410nhGscVFL.SX425.jpg", id: "option-1-8570311a-a0c2-474b-b6f0-7b693eaac89b", text: "VX 520", value: "Hardware-1",

checked: false, disabled: false, icon: "https://api.360payments.com/p/25668-swiftB250CardReader.png", id: "option-2-1fc0a824-957c-4e58-a50d-5c6b16c69c1e", text: "SwipeSimple Card Reader", value: "Hardware-2"

Hi,

Thanks for the snippet. I've tested on my local project and works ok (merely label should be outside of the tag), data is derived from the state. Do you use the newest mdbreact version (there were some problems with the search in previous releases)?

Alternatively, you could use this markup for select, I think it will fit your config better: https://mdbootstrap.com/docs/react/forms/select/#alternative

<MDBSelect
  options={this.state.options}
  id={this.selectID}
  className={className || 'select-nomargin'}
  getValue={this.handleChangeValue}
  getTextContent={this.handleChangeText}
  multiple={multiple}
  style={this.props.style}
/> 
<label className={selectedText ? 'active' : ''}>
  {label}
</label>

It's much easier, cleaner, and more controllable by React.

yujanrichie free commented 5 years ago

If I use this structure, options.value has a prop-type of number and expected is string.

Jakub Mandra staff commented 5 years ago

Can you paste here the error message?

Options shape is:

options: PropTypes.arrayOf(
    PropTypes.shape({
      checked: PropTypes.bool,
      disabled: PropTypes.bool,
      icon: PropTypes.string,
      text: PropTypes.string,
      value: PropTypes.string
    })
  ),

yujanrichie free commented 5 years ago

I can't do the simpler call to MDBSelect because I need to add children, specifically a Button inside the dropdown. I don't understand what is the difference between passing options.map where options is a constant array of objects versus options created from a state. It doesn't seem to see the innerText or can't identify the children.

Edit: found one issue, when including an image/icon, it inserts an element before the span element so search condition in MDBSelectOption is no longer correct. However removing the icon so span becomes the first element still didn't solve the problem.

Jakub Mandra staff commented 5 years ago

Thank you for the issue report (it does not appear in the select with options from the state).

The main difference when you pass options created from the state is that the state object is fully controllable by React. It allows you to remove/add or sort your options with no worries (which is not possible with the options.map, because the Select's inner state won't be updated).

yujanrichie free commented 5 years ago

I'm using state because I needed to modify the options before sending to MDBSelect. I can probably let the parent component handle this logic and pass options to the child component as props which would then use MDBSelect. Will that work?

Jakub Mandra staff commented 5 years ago

Yes, that should work, with no problem :) But you have to remember to update the state of the child, or make it as a stateless component.

Thank You, please check it out on Monday, 7th January.

Happy coding :)
