ComboBox - Documentation | www.HtmlElements.com

Overview

Smart.ComboBox represents an input with a dropdown list of items.

Getting Started

JavaScript (ES6) & TypeScript
Angular
React
Vue

Getting Started with ComboBox Web Component

Smart UI for Web Components is distributed as smart-webcomponents NPM package. You can also get the full download from our website with all demos from the Download page.

Setup the ComboBox

Smart UI for Web Components is distributed as smart-webcomponents NPM package

Download and install the package.
```
npm install smart-webcomponents
```

Once installed, import the ComboBox module in your application.

<script type="module" src="node_modules/smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.combobox.js"></script>

Adding CSS reference

The smart.default.css CSS file should be referenced using following code.

<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="node_modules/smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css" />

Add the ComboBox tag to your Web Page

<smart-combo-box id="combobox"></smart-combo-box>

Create the ComboBox Component

	<script type="module">
		Smart('#combobox', class {
			get properties() {
				return { selectionMode: "one" }
			}
		});
	</script>

Another option is to create the ComboBox is by using the traditional Javascript way:

	const combobox = document.createElement('smart-combo-box');

	combobox.disabled = true;
	document.body.appendChild(combobox);

Smart framework provides a way to dynamically create a web component on demand from a DIV tag which is used as a host. The following imports the web component's module and creates it on demand, when the document is ready. The #combobox is the ID of a DIV tag.

	import "../../source/modules/smart.combobox.js";

	document.readyState === 'complete' ? init() : window.onload = init;

	function init() { 
		const combobox = new Smart.ComboBox('#combobox', { selectionMode: "one" });
	}

Open the page in your web server.

Appearance

Smart.ComboBox allows to completely customize the content of the list items.

In order to change the content of an item, itemTemplate property has to be applied by assigning the id of an HTML Template element that's located inside the DOM. Here's an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href="../../source/styles/smart.default.css" type="text/css" />
 <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.elements.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
 <template id="template">
     <span class="glyphicon glyphicon-ok"></span>
     <span> {{label}}</span>
 </template>

 <smart-combo-box item-template="template">
     <smart-list-item selected value="1">Item 1</smart-list-item>
     <smart-list-item value="2">Item 2</smart-list-item>
     <smart-list-item value="3">Item 3</smart-list-item>
 </smart-combo-box>
</body>
</html>

The template contains a binding field surrounded by curly braces {{ label }}. The text between the breckets can be random.

Demo

Smart.ComboBox has the abbility to behave like a simple input field or an input field with a separate drop down button. The dropDownOpenMode property determines how the drop down will open. The element can have two separate buttons: an action and a dropDown button if the property is set to 'dropDownButton'.

Available modes for dropDownOpenMode:

none - the popup doesn't open.
default - opens if the user clicks on the dropDownButton
dropDownButton - the input and the button behave like two separate elements. The drop down button becomes focusable using keyboard interaction.
auto - the drop down popup opens when the mouse is over the element and closes when not.

<smart-combo-box drop-down-open-mode="dropDownButton">
     <smart-list-item >Item 1</smart-list-item>
     <smart-list-item selected>Item 2</smart-list-item>
     <smart-list-item>Item 3</smart-list-item>
     <smart-list-item>Item 4</smart-list-item>
     <smart-list-item>Item 5</smart-list-item>
 </smart-combo-box>

Demo

Data Binding

Adding data to the Combo box can be accomplished in a few ways:

Nesting Smart.ListItem elements inside the Combo box's body in the HTML:
```
 <smart-combo-box>
     <smart-list-item value="value1">Item1</smart-list-item>
     <smart-list-item selected value="value2">Item2</smart-list-item>
     <smart-list-item value="value3">Item3</smart-list-item>
 </smart-combo-box>
```
Demo

Smart.ListItem has a label and a value property. The value property can have a separate value from the label or no value at all. The user can prefer to apply a value only to the label and it will be automatically assigned to value as well.

The text inside the list item represents the value of the label property. It can also be set in the HTML code like shown in the example above.

Nesting Smart.ListItemGroup elements inside the ComboBox's body in the HTML:

<smart-combo-box>
    <smart-list-items-group label="Group 1">
        <smart-list-item>Item 1</smart-list-item>
        <smart-list-item>Item 2</smart-list-item>
        <smart-list-item>Item 3</smart-list-item>
    </smart-list-items-group>
    <smart-list-items-group label="Group 2">
        <smart-list-item>Item 4</smart-list-item>
        <smart-list-item>Item 5</smart-list-item>
        <smart-list-item>Item 6</smart-list-item>
    </smart-list-items-group>
    <smart-list-items-group label="Group 3">
        <smart-list-item>Item 7</smart-list-item>
        <smart-list-item>Item 8</smart-list-item>
        <smart-list-item>Item 9</smart-list-item>
    </smart-list-items-group>
</smart-combo-box>

Smart.ListItemGroup represents a group of items.

Grouping can also be enabled later via javascript by applying the grouped property.

Demo

Nesting HTML list elements inside the Combo box's body in the HTML:

<smart-combo-box>
     <ul label="Group 1">
         <li>Item 1</li>
         <li>Item 2</li>
         <li>Item 3</li>
         <li>Item 4</li>
         <li>Item 5</li>
     </ul>
     <ul label="Group 2">
         <li>Item 6</li>
         <li>Item 7</li>
         <li>Item 8</li>
         <li>Item 9</li>
         <li>Item 10</li>
     </ul>
 </smart-combo-box>

List items can be added without the ul tag. The grouping can be added at a later stage by setting the grouped property to the element.

Demo

Nesting optgroup elements inside the Combo box's body in the HTML:

<smart-combo-box>
     <optgroup label="Group 1">
         <option value="1">Item 1</option>
         <option value="2">Item 2</option>
     </optgroup>
     <optgroup label="Group 2">
         <option value="3">Item 3</option>
         <option value="4">Item 4</option>
     </optgroup>
 </smart-combo-box>

optgroups are the items of an HTML select element. As usual the value attribute can be applied to each list item to assign a specific value that can differ from the label.

Demo

Setting the dataSource property of the element to a new value of type Array.

The property can be changed dynamically via javascript after the element has been initialized:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href=../../source/styles/smart.default.css" type="text/css" />
 <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.elements.js"></script>
 <script>
 window.onload = function () {
     document.querySelector('smart-combo-box').dataSource =
         [
             "Item 1",
             "Item 2",
             "Item 3"
         ];
     }
 </script>
</head>
<body>
 <smart-combo-box></smart-combo-box>
</body>
</html>

Demo

dataSource accepts Arrays of strings or Objects. An object can contain more specific data for the items. For example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href=../../source/styles/smart.default.css" type="text/css" />
 <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.elements.js"></script>
 <script>
 window.onload = function () {
     var comboBox = document.querySelector('smart-combo-box');

     comboBox.dataSource = [
         {
             label: 'Item 1',
             value: 1
         },
         {
             label: 'Item 2',
             value: 2
         },
         {
             label: 'Item 3',
             value: 3,
             disabled: true
         },
         {
             label: 'Item 4',
             value: 4
         },
         {
             label: 'Item 5',
             value: 5
         },
     ];
 } 
 </script>
</head>
<body>
 <smart-combo-box></smart-combo-box>
</body>
</html>

Demo

Like every other custom element property, dataSource can also be set from the HTML in the tag of the element, like so:

<smart-combo-box data-source='["Item1", "Item2", "Item3"]'></smart-combo-box>

Demo

Manipulating the content

The element offers the following methods:

Insert method can create and insert new list items into the element.

The insert method can be called at any time after the element has been initialized.

The method accepts two arguments:

The index at which the item will be inserted.
An array of strings or a single string representing the labels of the items to be inserted.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href=../../source/styles/smart.default.css" type="text/css" />
 <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.elements.js"></script>
 <script>
     window.onload = function () {
         var comboBox = document.querySelector('smart-combo-box');

         comboBox.insert(0, ["Item1", "Item2", "Item3"]);
         comboBox.insert(2, 'Item4');
     }
 </script>
</head>
<body>
 <smart-combo-box></smart-combo-box>
</body>
</html>

Demo

Update method allow List items to be modified after creation.

Update method accepts two arguments:

The index of the item to be updated.
Details for the item. This argument can be an object containing properties of smartListItem, e.g. label, value, disabled. It can also be a simple string that represents the new label of the item that will be updated.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href=../../source/styles/smart.default.css" type="text/css" />
 <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.elements.js"></script>
 <script>
     window.onload = function () {
         var comboBox = document.querySelector('smart-combo-box');

         //Create items
         comboBox.insert(0, ["Item1", "Item2", "Item3"]);
         comboBox.insert(2, 'Item4');

         //Update items
         comboBox.update(1, 'Item12');
         comboBox.update(2, { label: 'Item13', value: '13', disabled: true });
     }
 </script>
</head>
<body>
 <smart-combo-box></smart-combo-box>
</body>
</html>

Demo

Remove deletes an item from the element. The method accepts a single argument - the index of the item to be removed.

Here's an example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href=../../source/styles/smart.default.css" type="text/css" />
 <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.elements.js"></script>
 <script>
     window.onload = function () {
         var comboBox = document.querySelector('smart-combo-box');

         //Create items
         comboBox.insert(0, ["Item1", "Item2", "Item3"]);
         comboBox.insert(2, 'Item4');

         //Update items
         comboBox.update(1, 'Item12');
         comboBox.update(2, { label: 'Item13', value: '13', disabled: true });

         //Remove items
         comboBox.remove(2);
         comboBox.remove(0);
     }
 </script>
</head>
<body>
 <smart-combo-box></smart-combo-box>
</body>
</html>

Demo

clearItems removes all items from the element. Takes no arguments:

window.onload = function () {
    var comboBox = document.querySelector('smart-combo-box');

    comboBox.clearItems();
}

Behavior

Smart.ComboBox offers different drop down positions: bottom, top, overlay-center, overlay-bottom, overlay-top, center-top, center-bottom and auto. The position of the listBox drop down can be modified via the dropDownPosition property, like so:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
 <link rel="stylesheet" href=../../source/styles/smart.default.css" type="text/css" />
 <script type="text/javascript" src="../../source/smart.elements.js"></script>
 <script>
     window.onload = function () {
         var comboBox = document.querySelector('smart-combo-box');

         comboBox.dropDownPosition = 'top';
     }
 </script>
</head>
<body>
 <smart-combo-box>
    <smart-list-item>Item 1</smart-list-item>
    <smart-list-item>Item 2</smart-list-item>
    <smart-list-item>Item 3</smart-list-item>
 </smart-combo-box>
</body>
</html>

Demo

Similar to any other property dropDownPosition can be set in the HTML with an attribute:

<smart-combo-box drop-down-position="bottom">
    <smart-list-item>Item 1</smart-list-item>
    <smart-list-item>Item 2</smart-list-item>
    <smart-list-item>Item 3</smart-list-item>
</smart-combo-box>

Demo

The default value of the property is 'auto'. This means that the element will automatically determine the position of the drop down depending on the space available. The algorithm always starts by trying to place the drop down below the element. If there's no space available it moves it above the element.

Create, Append, Remove, Get/Set Property, Invoke Method, Bind to Event

Create a new element:

	const combobox = document.createElement('smart-combo-box');

Append it to the DOM:

	document.body.appendChild(combobox);

Remove it from the DOM:

	combobox.parentNode.removeChild(combobox);

Set a property:

	combobox.propertyName = propertyValue;

Get a property value:

	const propertyValue = combobox.propertyName;

Invoke a method:

	combobox.methodName(argument1, argument2);

Add Event Listener:

	const eventHandler = (event) => {
	   // your code here.
	};

	combobox.addEventListener(eventName, eventHandler);

Remove Event Listener:

	combobox.removeEventListener(eventName, eventHandler, true);

Using with Typescript

Smart Web Components package includes TypeScript definitions which enables strongly-typed access to the Smart UI Components and their configuration.

Inside the download package, the typescript directory contains .d.ts file for each web component and a smart.elements.d.ts typescript definitions file for all web components. Copy the typescript definitions file to your project and in your TypeScript file add a reference to smart.elements.d.ts

Getting Started with Angular ComboBox Component

Setup Angular Environment

Angular provides the easiest way to set angular CLI projects using Angular CLI tool.

Install the CLI application globally to your machine.

npm install -g @angular/cli

Create a new Application

ng new smart-angular-combobox

Navigate to the created project folder

cd smart-angular-combobox

Setup the ComboBox

Smart UI for Angular is distributed as smart-webcomponents-angular NPM package

Download and install the package.
```
npm install smart-webcomponents-angular
```
Adding CSS reference

The following CSS file is available in ../node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/ package folder. This can be referenced in [src/styles.css] using following code.
```
@import 'smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css';
```
Another way to achieve the same is to edit the angular.json file and in the styles add the style.
```
"styles": [
		"node_modules/smart-webcomponents-angular/source/styles/smart.default.css"
	]
```
If you want to use Bootstrap, Fluent or other themes available in the package, you need to add them after 'smart.default.css'.

Example with Angular Standalone Components

app.component.html

 <smart-combo-box #combobox [selectedValues]="['Cappuccino']">
    <smart-list-item [value]="'1'">Affogato</smart-list-item>

Getting Started with Vue ComboBox Component

Setup Vue with Vite

In this section we will introduce how to scaffold a Vue Single Page Application on your local machine. The created project will be using a build setup based on Vite and allow us to use Vue Single-File Components (SFCs). Run the following command in your command line

npm create vue@latest

This command will install and execute create-vue, the official Vue project scaffolding tool. You will be presented with prompts for several optional features such as TypeScript and testing support:

✔ Project name: … 
✔ Add TypeScript? … No / Yes
✔ Add JSX Support? … No / Yes
✔ Add Vue Router for Single Page Application development? … No / Yes
✔ Add Pinia for state management? … No / Yes
✔ Add Vitest for Unit testing? … No / Yes
✔ Add an End-to-End Testing Solution? … No / Cypress / Playwright
✔ Add ESLint for code quality? … No / Yes
✔ Add Prettier for code formatting? … No / Yes

Scaffolding project in ./...
Done.

If you are unsure about an option, simply choose No by hitting enter for now. Once the project is created, follow the instructions to install dependencies and start the dev server:

cd 
npm install
npm install smart-webcomponents
npm run dev

Make Vue ignore custom elements defined outside of Vue (e.g., using the Web Components APIs). Otherwise, it will throw a warning about an Unknown custom element, assuming that you forgot to register a global component or misspelled a component name.

Open vite.config.js in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:

vite.config.js

import { fileURLToPath, URL } from 'node:url'

import { defineConfig } from 'vite'
import vue from '@vitejs/plugin-vue'

// https://vitejs.dev/config/
export default defineConfig({
  plugins: [
    vue({
      template: {
        compilerOptions: {
          isCustomElement: tag => tag.startsWith('smart-')
        }
      }
    })
  ],
  resolve: {
    alias: {
      '@': fileURLToPath(new URL('./src', import.meta.url))
    }
  }
})

Open src/App.vue in your favorite text editor and change its contents to the following:

App.vue

<template>
  <div class="vue-root">
    <smart-combo-box selected-values="['Cappuccino']">
      <smart-list-item value="1">Affogato</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="2">Americano</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="3">Bicerin</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="4">Breve</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="5">Cappuccino</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="6">Cafe Crema</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="7">Cafe Corretto</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="8">Cafe macchiato</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="9">Cafe mocha</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="10">Cortado</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="11">Cuban espresso</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="12">Espresso</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="13">Eiskaffee</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="14">Frappuccino</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="15">Galao</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="16">Greek frappe coffee</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="17">Iced Coffee</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="18">Instant Coffee</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="19">Latte</smart-list-item>
      <smart-list-item value="20">Liqueur coffee</smart-list-item>
    </smart-combo-box>
  </div>
</template>

<script>
import { onMounted } from "vue";
import "smart-webcomponents/source/styles/smart.default.css";
import "smart-webcomponents/source/modules/smart.combobox.js";

export default {
  name: "app",
  setup() {
    onMounted(() => {});
  }
};
</script>

<style>
smart-combo-box {
  width: 300px;
}
</style>

We can now use the smart-combo-box with Vue 3. Data binding and event handlers will just work right out of the box.

Running the Vue application

Start the app with

npm run dev

and open http://localhost:5173/ in your favorite web browser to see the output below:
When you are ready to ship your app to production, run the following:

npm run build

This will create a production-ready build of your app in the project's ./dist directory.
