Topic: Autocomplete with remote data from function with callback
Hi, is anyone who can help me please?
From docs - async loading:
const asyncAutocomplete = document.querySelector('#async');
const asyncFilter = async (query) => {
const url = `https://swapi.py4e.com/api/people/?search=${encodeURI(query)}`;
const response = await fetch(url);
const data = await response.json();
return data.results;
};
new mdb.Autocomplete(asyncAutocomplete, {
filter: asyncFilter,
displayValue: (value) => value.name
});
But, we have api calls build with function which returns response to callback. Like:
apiCall(requestMethod, requestData, function(response) {
#here I have data, which I am not able to use for autocomplete with remote data
});
Please, is any way, how to use this type of data request togethere with MDB autocomplete? I wouldn't like create URL wrapper to get data in the exactly same way.
Thank you.
In the past, we used some different select module (selectPicker) which has methods for changing data/update render etc. These type of methods I cannot see in documentation of autocomplete. So this is also question for MDB if is possible to change data and do update/render by methods.

Autocomplete do not have update method, but can be disposed and initiated with new data.
So I have solved it myself. Who need do this, you can do it with new promise wrapper function.
const response = await apiCallWrapper(request, requestData);
and apiCallWrapper looks like this
function apiCallWrapper(requestMethod, requestData) {
return new Promise((resolve, reject) => {
apiCall(requestMethod, requestData, function(response) {
resolve(response);
});
});
}
