The module you want to use ag2-completer in must import ag2CompleterModule and FormsModule (to use the ngModelag2CompleterModule
directive on ag2-completer). provides the CompleterService, and declares the ag2-completer
directive.ts
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from "@angular/forms";
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { Ag2CompleterModule } from "ag2-completer";
@NgModule({
imports: [
BrowserModule,
Ag2CompleterModule,
FormsModule,
],
declarations: [ AppComponent ],
bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }
`
Add ag2-completer to your component and create a data source:
`ts
import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CompleterService, CompleterData } from 'ag2-completer';
@Component({
selector: 'my-component',
template:
})
export class MyComponent { protected searchStr: string;
protected captain: string;
protected dataService: CompleterData;
protected searchData = [
{ color: 'red', value: '#f00' },
{ color: 'green', value: '#0f0' },
{ color: 'blue', value: '#00f' },
{ color: 'cyan', value: '#0ff' },
{ color: 'magenta', value: '#f0f' },
{ color: 'yellow', value: '#ff0' },
{ color: 'black', value: '#000' }
];
protected captains = ['James T. Kirk', 'Benjamin Sisko', 'Jean-Luc Picard', 'Spock', 'Jonathan Archer', 'Hikaru Sulu', 'Christopher Pike', 'Rachel Garrett' ];
constructor(private completerService: CompleterService) {
this.dataService = completerService.local(this.searchData, 'color', 'color');
}
}
ag2-completer uses rxjs stream as data sources.
There are 2 ready made data sources that can be used to fetch local and remote data but it's also possible to provide
a custom source that generates a stream of items.
