Topic: MDB auto-completer & minSearchLength
amineware pro asked 5 years ago
Previously until MDB Angular 7.2.0 we used mdb-autocomplete and it has an input called "minSearchLength". Now as it's recommended to migrate to mdb-auto-completer do you have plans to implement a "minSearchLength" option ? We looked in the source code / docs and didn't found such an option for the new component. Thanks.

Dear amineware,
There's no [minSearchLength]
input in the new mdb-auto-completer code because all the search logic are provided by the user - you can write it on your own (i mean call search function when search text is longer than some size).
Please take a look at the modified getFilteredData()
method which starts searching, if searchText
is longer than 2 signs:
getFilteredData() {
if (this.searchText.length > 2) {
this.results = this.searchEntries(this.searchText);
} else {
this.results = this.searchEntries('');
}
}
Best Regards,
Damian
