DevExtreme jQuery/JS - Overview

The Lookup is a widget that allows an end user to search for an item in a collection shown in a drop-down menu.

View Demo

The following code adds the Lookup widget to your page. The simplest configuration requires only a dataSource to be specified. In addition, you can define the placeholder to be displayed when the Lookup input field is empty.

If your data is an array of objects, specify:

  • valueExpr
    The data field whose value will be written into the value option.
  • displayExpr
    The data field whose value will be displayed within the inner List widget and in the input field of the Lookup.
