Diacritics fitering

Question

Hello,

while I add filtering customization inside DropDownList component I lose some functionality.

filtering: (e) => {
   let query = new ej.data.Query();

   query.addParams("selectedId", selectedId);
   query.addParams("searchTerm", e.text);
   e.updateData(_customerDatasource, query);
},

DataSource that I use is previously fetched in array.

https://ej2.syncfusion.com/javascript/documentation/drop-down-list/filtering/#diacritics-filtering

for example in array i have "ŠiŠ" and I expect that sis or šiš would return this item with "šiš".

I use 18.1.45 version of library ( will update in few weeks, I have some problem with customization and newer version of library - if I update some things not working as before ).

KR,
Ivan

Hi Ivan, 


Greetings from Syncfusion support. 


We checked your query. We suggest you to pass the fifth argument in the query property as true to filter the diacritics character. Please refer the below code, 






filtering: function(e) { 
    var dropdown_query = new ej.data.Query(); 
    // frame the query based on search string with filter type. 
    dropdown_query = 
      e.text !== "" 
        ? dropdown_query.where("Name", "startswith", e.text, true, true) 
        : dropdown_query; 
    // pass the filter data source, filter query to updateData method. 
    e.updateData(data, dropdown_query); 
  } 



Please find the sample below,
