Class IgcComboComponent<T>

The Combo component is similar to the Select component in that it provides a list of options from which the user can make a selection. In contrast to the Select component, the Combo component displays all options in a virtualized list of items, meaning the combo box can simultaneously show thousands of options, where one or more options can be selected. Additionally, users can create custom item templates, allowing for robust data visualization. The Combo component features case-sensitive filtering, grouping, complex data binding, dynamic addition of values and more.

lifecycle

  • Invoked when the component is added to the document's DOM.

    In connectedCallback() you should setup tasks that should only occur when the element is connected to the document. The most common of these is adding event listeners to nodes external to the element, like a keydown event handler added to the window.

    connectedCallback() {
    super.connectedCallback();
    addEventListener('keydown', this._handleKeydown);
    }

    Typically, anything done in connectedCallback() should be undone when the element is disconnected, in disconnectedCallback().

    Returns void
