Dropdown with db read autocompleter

giovannigenua13 19 Sep, 2023
Hi,
I hope you're all doing well. I am currently working on a project where I need to create an autocomplete dropdown for city selection. I have successfully retrieved a list of cities from a database table, but I'm struggling to make the dropdown searchable by typing the first three letters of a city.

Here's what I have accomplished so far: retrieved the city list from the database.
However, I need assistance with the following: Implementing an autocomplete feature where users can search for cities by typing the first three letters, and the dropdown should display matching results dynamically.

I would greatly appreciate it if someone could guide me on how to achieve this functionality within ChronoForms. Any code examples or step-by-step instructions would be immensely helpful.

Thank you in advance for your assistance!

auto complete is not yet implemented in v8, you can load the cities list from database before the form is loaded, but for the user to type and refresh the dropdown is not yet possible
