The ListBox loads the data either from local data sources or remote data services using the dataSource
property. It supports
the data type of array
or DataManager
.
Fields | Type | Description |
---|---|---|
text |
string |
Specifies the display text of each list item. |
value |
string |
Specifies the hidden data value mapped to each list item that should contain a unique value. |
groupBy |
string |
Specifies the category under which the list item has to be grouped. |
iconCss |
string |
Specifies the iconCss class that needs to be mapped. |
htmlAttributes |
string |
Allows additional attributes to configure the elements in various ways to meet the criteria. |
When binding complex data to the ListBox, fields should be mapped correctly. Otherwise, the selected item remains undefined.
Local data can be represented by the following ways as described below.
The ListBox has support to load array of primitive data such as strings or numbers. Here, both value and text field acts as same.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div id='container' style="margin:10px auto 0; width:250px;">
<ejs-listbox :dataSource='data' ></ejs-listbox>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { ListBoxPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns";
Vue.use(ListBoxPlugin);
export default {
data (){
return {
data: ["Hennessey Venom", "Bugatti Chiron", "Bugatti Veyron Super Sport", "SSC Ultimate Aero", "Koenigsegg CCR", "McLaren F1", "Aston Martin One- 77", "Jaguar XJ220", "McLaren P1", "Ferrari LaFerrari"];
}
}

The ListBox can generate its list items through an array of object data. For this,
the appropriate columns should be mapped to the fields
property.
In the following example, id
and sports
column from complex data have been mapped to the value
field and text
field, respectively.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div id='container' style="margin:10px auto 0; width:250px;">
<ejs-listbox :dataSource='data' ></ejs-listbox>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { ListBoxPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns";
Vue.use(ListBoxPlugin);
export default {
data (){
return {
data: [
{ id: 'game1', sports: 'Badminton' },
{ id: 'game2', sports: 'Cricket'},
{ id: 'game3', sports: 'Football'},
{ id: 'game4', sports: 'Golf'},
{ id: 'game5', sports: 'Tennis'},
{ id: 'game6', sports: 'Basket Ball'},
{ id: 'game7', sports: 'Base Ball'},
{ id: 'game8', sports: 'Hockey'},
{ id: 'game9', sports: 'Volley Ball'}
];
fields:{ text:"sports" }
}
}
}
</script>

The ListBox can generate its list items through an array of complex data. For this,
the appropriate columns should be mapped to the fields
property.
In the following example, Sports.Name
column from complex data have been mapped to the text
field.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div id='container' style="margin:10px auto 0; width:250px;">
<ejs-listbox :dataSource='data' :fields="fields" ></ejs-listbox>

Vue.use(ListBoxPlugin);
export default {
data (){
return {
data: [
{ Id: 'game1', Sports: { Name: 'Badminton'} },
{ Id: 'game2', Sports: { Name: 'Cricket'} },
{ Id: 'game3', Sports: { Name: 'Football'} },
{ Id: 'game4', Sports: { Name: 'Golf'} },
{ Id: 'game5', Sports: { Name: 'Tennis'} },
{ Id: 'game6', Sports: { Name: 'Basket Ball'} },
{ Id: 'game7', Sports: { Name: 'Base Ball'} },
{ Id: 'game8', Sports: { Name: 'Hockey'} },
{ Id: 'game9', Sports: { Name: 'Volley Ball'} }
];
fields:{ text:"Sports.Name" }
}
}
}

The ListBox supports retrieval of data from remote data services with the help of DataManager
component. The Query
property is used to fetch
data from the database and bind it to the ListBox.
The following sample displays the first 10 products from Products
table of the Northwind
Data Service.
<template>
<div id="app">
<div id='container' style="margin:10px auto 0; width:250px;">
<ejs-listbox :dataSource='data' :query="query" :fields="fields" ></ejs-listbox>
</div>
</div>
</template>
<script>
import Vue from 'vue';
import { ListBoxPlugin } from "@syncfusion/ej2-vue-dropdowns";
import { Query, DataManager, ODataV4Adaptor } from '@syncfusion/ej2-data';
Vue.use(ListBoxPlugin);
export default {
data (){
return {
data : new DataManager({
url: 'https://services.odata.org/V4/Northwind/Northwind.svc/',
adaptor: new ODataV4Adaptor
}),
query : new Query().from('Products').select('ProductID,ProductName').take(10),
fields : { text: 'ProductName', value: 'ProductID' }
}
}
}
