Can we do AJAX search in Select filter input?

[atiabjobayer]

The current documentation mentions about dynamically putting the options, but there is no way to get the text in the search input box, which is essential to populate the result.

@olton could you confirm me on this?

Please, take a look at this: #1967

If approved, it will allow you load a JSON into the select.

I’m cooking search from remote source… Maybe next week I’ll be able to send the pull to approval.

I have some comments about the code, I'll try to provide a review today.

I’m trying to fetch only what’s typed by user.

I got a very big select to show (about 980k lines).

We are considering dynamically generated JSON.

So user will type something, let’s say, the name of the person. Then the fetch process fetch only the matched name.

I’m thinking adding 2 new options :

fetchOnType
If true will only fetch the JSON for the matching variables.

minFetchLenght
The minimum characters user must type before fetch starts.

Also, creating a new function…

_fetchAndLoad to handle this news attributes.

I do believe it’s a great addition for the framework.

Will do my best (but JS it’s not my best quality, as you can confirm with my last pull, but I do things work)

Best regards.

Code ready for review...

I've created a new pull #1968 for @olton's revision

It's a little long code...

Please take your time to review it. I look forward to your feedback.
