8 Aug 20234 minutes to read
The filtered data can be displayed in the ListView control depending upon on user inputs using the DataManager
. Refer to the following steps to render the ListView with filtered data.
-
Render a textbox to get input for filtering data.
-
Render ListView with
dataSource
, and set thesortOrder
property. -
Bind the
keyup
event for textbox to perform filtering operation. To filter list data, pass the list data source to theDataManager
, manipulate the data using theexecuteLocal
method, and then update filtered data as ListView dataSource.
//Define an array of JSON data
var listData = [
{ text: "Hennessey Venom", id: "list-01" },
{ text: "Bugatti Chiron", id: "list-02" },
{ text: "Bugatti Veyron Super Sport", id: "list-03" },
{ text: "SSC Ultimate Aero", id: "list-04" },
{ text: "Koenigsegg CCR", id: "list-05" },
{ text: "McLaren F1", id: "list-06" }
];
// Initialize ListView component
var listObj = new ej.lists.ListView({
//Set defined data to dataSource property
dataSource: listData,
//Map the appropriate columns to fields property
fields: { text: "text", id: "id" },
//Set sortOrder property
sortOrder: "Ascending"
});
//Render initialized ListView component
listObj.appendTo("#list");
document.getElementById("textbox").addEventListener("keyup", onKeyUp);
//Here we are handling filtering of list items using dataManager for ListView
function onKeyUp(e) {
var value = document.getElementById("textbox").value;
var data = new ej.data.DataManager(listData).executeLocal(new ej.data.Query().where("text", "startswith", value, true));
if (!value) {
listObj.dataSource = listData.slice();
}
else {
listObj.dataSource = data;
}
listObj.dataBind();
}

In this demo, data has been filtered with starting character of the list items. You can also filter list items with ending character by passing the
endswith
in where clause instead ofstartswith
.
