When binding the remote data source, by using the actionComplete event,
you can modify the result data before passing it to DropDownList.
The following sample demonstrate how to modify the result data.
// import DataManager related classes
import { DataManager, ODataV4Adaptor, Query } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
import { DropDownListComponent } from '@syncfusion/ej2-react-dropdowns';
import * as React from 'react';
import * as ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
export default class App extends React.Component {
constructor() {
super(...arguments);
// bind the DataManager instance to dataSource property
this.customerData = new DataManager({
adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor,
crossDomain: true,
url: 'https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/'
});
// bind the Query instance to query property
this.query = new Query().from('Customers').select(['ContactName', 'CustomerID']).take(6);
// maps the appropriate column to fields property
this.fields = { text: 'ContactName', value: 'CustomerID' };
// sort the resulted items
this.sortOrder = 'Ascending';
}
onComplete(e) {
// initially result contains 6 items
console.log("Before modified the result: " + e.result.length);
// remove first 2 items from result.
e.result.splice(0, 2);
// now displays the result count is 4.
console.log("After modified the result: " + e.result.length);
}
render() {
return (
// specifies the tag for render the DropDownList component
<DropDownListComponent id="ddlelement" query={this.query} dataSource={this.customerData} fields={this.fields} sortOrder={this.sortOrder} placeholder="Select a customer" actionComplete={this.onComplete}/>);
}
}
ReactDOM.render(<App />, document.getElementById('sample'));<!DOCTYPE html>
