| 1 | +# igx-combo |
| 2 | +The igx-combo provides a powerful input, combining features of the basic HTML input, select and the IgniteUI for Angular igx-drop-down controls. |
| 3 | +Control provides easy filtering and selection of multiple items, grouping and adding custom values to the list. |
| 4 | +Templates for different parts of the control can be defined, including items, header and footer, etc. |
| 5 | +Control is integrated with Template Driven and Reactive Forms. |
| 6 | +The igx-combo exposes intiutive keyboard navigation and it is accessibility compliant. |
| 7 | +Drop Down items are virtualized, which guarantees smooth work, even combo is bound to data source with a lot of items. |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | + |
| 10 | +`igx-combo` is a component. |
| 11 | +A walkthrough of how to get started can be found [here](https://www.infragistics.com/products/ignite-ui-angular/angular/components/combo.html) |
| 12 | + |
| 13 | +# Usage |
| 14 | +Basic usage of `igx-combo` bound to a local data source, defining `valueKey` and `displayKey`: |
| 15 | + |
| 16 | +```html |
| 17 | +<igx-combo [data]="localData" [valueKey]="'ProductID'" [displayKey]="'ProductName'"> |
| 18 | +</igx-combo> |
| 19 | +``` |
| 20 | + |
| 21 | +Remote binding, defining `valueKey` and `displayKey`, and exposing `onDataPreLoad` that allows to load new chunk of remote data to the combo: |
| 22 | + |
| 23 | +```html |
| 24 | +<igx-combo [data]="remoteData | async" (onDataPreLoad)="dataLoading($event)" [valueKey]="'ProductID'" [displayKey]="'ProductName'" > |
| 25 | +</igx-combo> |
| 26 | +``` |
| 27 | + |
| 28 | +## Features |
| 29 | + |
| 30 | +### Value Binding |
| 31 | + |
| 32 | +If we want to use a two-way data-binding, we could just use `ngModule` like this: |
| 33 | + |
| 34 | +```html |
| 35 | +<igx-combo #combo [(ngModel)]="values"></igx-combo> |
| 36 | +``` |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +```typescript |
| 39 | +@ViewChild('combo', { read: IgxComboComponent }) public combo: IgxComboComponent; |
| 40 | +get values() { |
| 41 | + return this.combo.selectedItems(); |
| 42 | +} |
| 43 | +set values(newValues: Array<any>) { |
| 44 | + this.combo.selectItems(newValues); |
| 45 | +} |
| 46 | +``` |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +<div class="divider--half"></div> |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +### Filtering |
| 51 | +By default filtering in the combo is enabled. However you can disable it using the following code: |
| 52 | + |
| 53 | +```html |
| 54 | +<igx-combo [filaterable]="false"></igx-combo> |
| 55 | +``` |
| 56 | + |
| 57 | +<div class="divider--half"></div> |
| 58 | + |
| 59 | +<div class="divider--half"></div> |
| 60 | + |
| 61 | +### Custom Values |
| 62 | +Enabling the custom values will add missing from the list, using the combo's interface. |
| 63 | + |
| 64 | +```html |
| 65 | +<igx-combo [allowCustomValues]="true"></igx-combo> |
| 66 | +``` |
| 67 | + |
| 68 | +<div class="divider--half"></div> |
| 69 | + |
| 70 | +### Disabled |
| 71 | +You can disable combo using the following code: |
| 72 | + |
| 73 | +```html |
| 74 | +<igx-combo [disabled]="true"></igx-combo> |
| 75 | +``` |
| 76 | + |
| 77 | +<div class="divider--half"></div> |
| 78 | + |
| 79 | +### Grouping |
| 80 | +Defining a combo's groupKey option will group the items, according to that key. |
| 81 | + |
| 82 | +```html |
| 83 | +<igx-combo [groupKey]="'primaryKey'"></igx-combo> |
| 84 | +``` |
| 85 | + |
| 86 | +<div class="divider--half"></div> |
| 87 | + |
| 88 | +### Templates |
| 89 | +Templates for different parts of the control can be defined, including items, header and footer, etc. |
| 90 | +When defining one of the them, you need to reference list of predifined names, as follows: |
| 91 | + |
| 92 | +#### Defining item template: |
| 93 | +```html |
| 94 | +<igx-combo> |
| 95 | + <ng-template #itemTemplate let-display let-key="valueKey"> |
| 96 | + <div class="item"> |
| 97 | + <span class="state">State: {{ display[key] }}</span> |
| 98 | + <span class="region">Region: {{ display.region }}</span> |
| 99 | + </div> |
| 100 | + </ng-template> |
| 101 | +</igx-combo> |
| 102 | +``` |
| 103 | + |
| 104 | +#### Defining header template: |
| 105 | + |
| 106 | +```html |
| 107 | +<igx-combo> |
| 108 | + <ng-template #headerTemplate> |
| 109 | + <div class="header-class">Custom header</div> |
| 110 | + <img src=""/> |
| 111 | + </ng-template> |
| 112 | +</igx-combo> |
| 113 | +``` |
| 114 | + |
| 115 | +#### Defining footer template: |
| 116 | + |
| 117 | +```html |
| 118 | +<igx-combo> |
| 119 | + <ng-template #footerTemplate> |
| 120 | + <div class="footer-class">Custom footer</div> |
| 121 | + <img src=""/> |
| 122 | + </ng-template> |
| 123 | +</igx-combo> |
| 124 | +``` |
| 125 | + |
| 126 | +#### Defining empty template: |
| 127 | + |
| 128 | +```html |
| 129 | +<igx-combo> |
| 130 | + <ng-template #emptyTemplate> |
| 131 | + <span>List is empty</div> |
| 132 | + </ng-template> |
| 133 | +</igx-combo> |
| 134 | +``` |
| 135 | + |
| 136 | +#### Defining add template: |
| 137 | + |
| 138 | +```html |
| 139 | +<igx-combo> |
| 140 | + <ng-template #addItemTemplate> |
| 141 | + <span>Add town</span> |
| 142 | + </ng-template> |
| 143 | +</igx-combo> |
| 144 | +``` |
| 145 | +<div class="divider--half"></div> |
| 146 | + |
| 147 | +## Keyboard Navigation |
| 148 | + |
| 149 | +When igxCombo is closed and focused: |
| 150 | +- `ArrowDown` or `Alt` + `ArrowDown` will open the combo drop down and will move focus to the search input. |
| 151 | + |

| 153 | +- `ArrowUp` or `Alt` + `ArrowUp` will close the combo drop down and will move focus to the closed combo. |
| 154 | +- `ArrowDown` will move focus from the search input to the first list item.If list is empty and custom values are enabled will move it to the Add new item button. |
| 155 | + > Note: Any other key stroke will be handled by the input. |
| 156 | +
|
| 157 | +When igxCombo is opened and list item is focued: |
| 158 | +- `ArrowDown` will move to next list item. If the active item is the last one in hte list and custom values are enabled then focus will be moved to the Add item button. |
| 159 | + |
