Autocomplete

[onur301]

Can i specify value for selected items?
If selected item exist in my itemlist then value must be selected items value.
If entry not exist in suggestionlist, selected value must be "0".
Can i apply this scenario to primereact autocomplete?

Yes, you can specify selected value. You can try like the below code; (from showcase advanced example);

Code: Select all

 componentDidMount() {
        this.brands = ['Audi', 'BMW', 'Fiat', 'Ford', 'Honda', 'Jaguar', 'Mercedes', 'Renault', 'Volvo'];

        for(let i = 0; i<this.brands.length; i++){
            if(this.brands[i].localeCompare('BMW') === 0){
                this.setState({brand:'BMW'})
                break;
            }
            else
                this.setState({brand:'0'})
        }
    }

Code: Select all

                    <AutoComplete value={this.state.brand} suggestions={this.state.filteredBrands} completeMethod={this.filterBrands} size={30} minLength={1}
                        placeholder="Hint: type 'v' or 'f'" dropdown={true} itemTemplate={this.itemTemplate.bind(this)} onChange={(e) => this.setState({brand: e.value})} />
                    <span style={{ marginLeft: '50px' }}>Brand: {this.state.brand || 'none'}</span>
