This is a readme for the Type ahead field custom plugin.
A component used for querying tables, searching through results, selecting and then saving selected items back to the db.
This has your main elements; your table select, types and fields.
- The Table field is populates the selectable fields which can be binded to. REQUIRED
- Type, there are 3 different types, these change which fields can be selected. REQUIRED
- Field, this is used to select the field you wish to target/save back to the database after selecting. REQUIRED
This section is all related to functionality within the component itself.
- Limit, this limits the number of results you can get back, the default being 25 and the max being 1000.
- Type, works similarily to the one within general however theres only 2 instead of 3. REQUIRED
- The standard field type search isn't case senative.
- Array type only works for exact searches including case. (Currently you can't search for more than one option using this.)
- Search Field, selectable which you wish to search against. REQUIRED
- Label, field used to for visible select options in the frontend.
- Value, field ussed for the hidden values for binding/saving back to the database.
##Demo
You can search on arrays e.g. multi-select columns within Budibase. However you can only search one of the values within these. In the future I may expand this to search for multiple valeus within these field types.
