JavaScript/jQuery Lookup - Handle Value Change

To handle changes to the JavaScript Lookup component's value, specify the onValueChanged function. This demo uses it to display a picture and text for the selected item.

The JavaScript Lookup component applies the selected value instantly. If you want users to click the Apply button instead, set the applyValueMode property to "useButtons". It adds the Apply button to the component's drop-down menu. This demo does not show this functionality.

Backend API
$(() => { const lookup = $('#lookup').dxLookup({ items: employees, displayExpr(item) { if (!item) { return ''; } return `${item.FirstName} ${item.LastName}`; }, applyValueMode: 'instantly', dropDownOptions: { showTitle: false, }, placeholder: 'Select employee', inputAttr: { 'aria-label': 'Lookup', }, onValueChanged(e) { $('.selected').show(); $('#selected-employee-img').attr('src', e.value.Picture); $('#selected-employee-notes').text(e.value.Notes); }, }).dxLookup('instance'); $('#applyValueMode').dxSelectBox({ items: ['instantly', 'useButtons'], inputAttr: { 'aria-label': 'Apply Value Mode' }, value: 'instantly', onValueChanged(e) { lookup.option('applyValueMode', e.value); }, }); });
