ComboBox type with Filtering option Added (ComboBox filtered by textInput)

[birddevelper]

It was difficult to find items in big lists. So a filtering input box below the ComboBox (Select tag) can simply solve this problem.

type : 'filtered'

Thank you for your contribution.

• Can you send a screenshot (or add to Plunker) se we can see how it works?
• Instead of adding a new type, can you just add a new option to the field definition, like filtering: true. Because it's type is not changing, it's still combobox, but adding a new feature.

actually I've just moved the input box above the comboBox, it seems better.

honestly adding it as option needs more times and reading your code, I have no idea how to do that. :)

what is your opinion about changing the 'filtered' type to 'filteredList'?

You have added a new filtering textbox to filter a combobox? I think it does not seems good.
I was expecting something like https://silviomoreto.github.io/bootstrap-select/examples/#live-search :)

Thanks for your motivating :))

anyway, finding an item in large lists is too difficult, and this inputbox solves this problem.
I think at the first step we add this input to facilitate finding items, and at the second step we enhance its appearance as you expect. :)

however I try my best to find a way to design something near what you expected.

Maybe it's better to use bootstrap-select or a similar library instead of creating a solution ourselves. jtable allows you to override HTML for inputs (see http://jtable.org/ApiReference/FieldOptions#fopt-input). So, we can define input option and use bootstrap-select.
