Hi Foulont, 

Greetings from Syncfusion support. 

Query: Could you provide me any example how to virtualize dropdownlist with local data ? 

 

We have prepared sample as per your requirement “Virtualization with Dropdownlist local data”. Please find the sample below for reference. 

ejs-dropdownlist 

    id="games" 

    #sample 

    [dataSource]="sportsData" 

    [fields]="fields" 

    [placeholder]="waterMark" 

    [popupHeight]="height" 

    [query]="query" 

    (actionComplete)="onActionComplete($event)" 

></ejs-dropdownlist> 

public onActionComplete(e) { 

    var operator = this.query1 ? null : new Query(); 

    var start; 

    var end; 

    if (!this.isFilter) { 

      start = e.result.length; 

      end = e.result.length + 5; 

    } 

    var listElement = (this.listObj as any).list; 

    listElement.addEventListener("scroll", () => { 

      if ( 

        listElement.scrollTop + listElement.offsetHeight >= 

        listElement.scrollHeight 

      ) { 

        var filterQuery = operator ? operator.clone() : operator; 

        filterQuery = filterQuery ? filterQuery.range(start, end) : filterQuery; 

        if (filterQuery) { 

          new DataManager(this.sportsData) 

            .executeQuery(filterQuery) 

            .then(event => { 

              start = end; 

              end += 5; 

              if (!this.isFilter) { 

                this.listObj.addItem((event as any).result); 

                this.listObj.addItem((event as any).result); 

              } 

              if ((event as any).result.length === 0) { 

                operator = null; 

              } 

            }) 

            .catch(e => {}); 

        } 

      } 

    }); 

  }

Hello, 

Thanks for your example.

It works but when I set dynamically a default value to dropdownlist at init (ie; val "Game23") with out of range it doesn't select the value inside the dropdownlist.

HI Foulont, 

Thanks for the update. 

We are currently working on the reported requirement. We will customize the sample and update in 2 business days. We appreciate your patience until then.

Hi Foulont, 

Sorry for the delay. 

Based on your reported query, we suspect that "you are trying to add the value that is not in the dataSource's initial count". The data will not be retrieved when taken beyond the initial count of the datasource before get scrolling. We suggest you to use the below work around solution to get rid of the reported issue. We have added to the dynamic value property along with some values, the value Game23 which is not included in the initial range count. Using the predicate, we took that particular item and applied it to the dynamic value property. Please find the code snippet and the test sample below for reference. 

clickMe() { 

var predicate = new Predicate("Game", "equal", "Football3"); 

predicate = predicate.or("Id", "equal", "Game23"); 

var query = new Query(); 

new DataManager(this.sportsData) 

    .executeQuery(query.where(predicate).take(1)) 

    .then(e => { 

    var items = (e as any).result[0].Id; 

    var items1 = (e as any).result[0].Game; 

    this.listObj.addItem({ Id: items, Game: items1 }); 

    this.listObj.value = items; 

    }) 

    .catch(e => true); 

}

Hello,

I have checked your stackblitz but it not workfing properly. 

If we scroll we have the same data even if the source is good.

check this stackblitz here : https://stackblitz.com/edit/angular-wk51f5-e3heq5?file=app.component.ts

Hi Foulont, 

Sorry for the inconvenience caused. 

We have removed the duplicate items in the popup when scrolling by comparing the dynamically added items with the event.result and based on finding the index removed the specific index using splice method as like below highlighted code snippet. 

public dynamicAddItem: string = "Game22"; 

 

public onActionComplete(e) { 

    var operator = this.query1 ? null : new Query(); 

    var start; 

    var end; 

    if (!this.isFilter) { 

      start = e.result.length; 

      end = e.result.length + 5; 

    } 

    var listElement = (this.listObj as any).list; 

    listElement.addEventListener("scroll", () => { 

      if ( 

        listElement.scrollTop + listElement.offsetHeight >= 

        listElement.scrollHeight 

      ) { 

        var filterQuery = operator ? operator.clone() : operator; 

        filterQuery = filterQuery ? filterQuery.range(start, end) : filterQuery; 

        if (filterQuery) { 

          new DataManager(this.sportsData).executeQuery(filterQuery).then(event => { 

              start = end; 

              end += 5; 

              if (!this.isFilter) { 

                //Before adding the items, here compared and removed the duplicate of dynamically added item 

                if ((event as any).result.some(game => game.Id === this.dynamicAddItem)) { 

                  var index = (event as any).result.findIndex(x => x.Id === this.dynamicAddItem); 

                  (event as any).result.splice(index, 1); 

                } 

                this.listObj.addItem((event as any).result); 

              } 

              if ((event as any).result.length === 0) { 

                operator = null; 

              } 

            }) 

           .catch(e => {}); 

        } 

      } 

    }); 

  }
