OO.ui.ComboBoxInputWidget

Extends

Constructor

new OO.ui.ComboBoxInputWidget(config) #

ComboBoxInputWidgets combine a text input (where a value can be entered manually) and a menu of options (from which a value can be chosen instead). Users can choose options from the combo box in one of two ways:

  • by typing a value in the text input field. If the value exactly matches the value of a menu option, that option will appear to be selected.
  • by choosing a value from the menu. The value of the chosen option will then appear in the text input field.

After the user chooses an option, its data will be used as a new value for the widget. A label also can be specified for each option: if given, it will be shown instead of the data in the dropdown menu.

This widget can be used inside an HTML form, such as a OO.ui.FormLayout.

For more information about menus and options, please see the OOUI documentation on MediaWiki.

Examples

// A ComboBoxInputWidget.
    const comboBox = new OO.ui.ComboBoxInputWidget( {
        value: 'Option 1',
        options: [
            { data: 'Option 1' },
            { data: 'Option 2' },
            { data: 'Option 3' }
        ]
    } );
    $( document.body ).append( comboBox.$element );

A ComboBoxInputWidget can have additional option labels:

    const comboBox = new OO.ui.ComboBoxInputWidget( {
        value: 'Option 1',
        options: [
            {
                data: 'Option 1',
                label: 'Option One'
            },
            {
                data: 'Option 2',
                label: 'Option Two'
            },
            {
                data: 'Option 3',
                label: 'Option Three'
            }
        ]
    } );
    $( document.body ).append( comboBox.$element );

Parameters:

Properties:
Name Type Attributes Default Description
options Array.<Object> optional
 []

Array of menu options in the format { data: …, label: … }
menu Object optional

Configuration options to pass to the menu select widget.
$overlay jQuery optional

Render the menu into a separate layer. This configuration is useful in cases where the expanded menu is larger than its containing <div>. The specified overlay layer is usually on top of the containing <div> and has a larger area. By default, the menu uses relative positioning. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/OOUI/Concepts#Overlays.
