JavaScript/jQuery List - List with Search Bar

To add a search bar to the JavaScript List and enable the search functionality, do the following:

  • Set the searchEnabled property to true.

  • Specify the searchExpr property. It is used to compare the search string against a specific field in your data objects. In this example, the search string is compared against the "Name" field.

  • Use the searchMode property to specify whether list items should start with, contain, or match the search string. In this example, you can use the drop-down menu under the JavaScript List to change the searchMode.

$(() => { const listWidget = $('#list').dxList({ dataSource: products, height: 400, searchEnabled: true, searchExpr: 'Name', itemTemplate(data) { return $('<div>').text(data.Name); }, }).dxList('instance'); $('#searchMode').dxSelectBox({ dataSource: ['contains', 'startswith', 'equals'], value: 'contains', inputAttr: { 'aria-label': 'Search Mode' }, onValueChanged(data) { listWidget.option('searchMode', data.value); }, }).dxSelectBox('instance'); });
