Idea - Reactive: Drop down search re-query

Reactive: Drop down search re-query

Implemented

OutSystems UI

Dropdown search on react should have the ability to recall the query for more flexible and efficient loading of data base on searching.

The problem is if you have more than 1000 records and growing to put into your drop down, you need to load all the data on one go so it can be search by the user.

Why not retrigger the query that produce the record list for the drop down as you type and search.

It will be fast that way and efficient in terms of code optimization.

Totally agree, I had thought I would add the same idea. The component should have a event to return the SearchKeyword. This event should not mandatory and you can use or not.

Hello Gerrick Gurapo!

We are currently working on a new dropdown server side, we already have the first version of this component but since this is a slightly more advanced component we are looking for feedback before releasing it.

We will be happy to send you the first version of this component for you to try! Let me now in this thread if you are interested.

Cheers,
Jéssica M.

Hello Gerrick!

We're happy to inform you that on the last release of OutSystems UI (v2.14.0), a new dropdown component was released, Dropdown Server Side, recommended for use cases like yours (long list of options). With this new component, you can control the search queries and when data is loaded.

You can find more information about this component in this forum post.

Keep sharing your ideas :)
