ListView for Blazor

Description

How to implement a ListView search box, similar to the SearchBox in the Blazor Grid? I would like to use a single input to search and filter in all data fields of the ListView data.

Solution

It is possible to search and filter the ListView programmatically. The example below is a modified version of the ListView filtering demo.

• Notice the usage of a CompositeFilterDescriptor, instead of a FilterDescriptor. This is because we are searching in multiple fields with an OR logical operator. The Grid Filtering documentation explains the difference between the two descriptor types.
• Populate the FilterDescriptors collection of the CompositeFilterDescriptor object with one FilterDescriptor for each field that you want to search in.

            ListViewData = (SourceData.ToDataSourceResult(request).Data as IEnumerable<Product>).ToList();
