Description
How can I bind a Kendo UI AutoComplete to the WebAPI in an AngularJS scenario?
Solution
To achieve the desired scenario, set the dataSource type to webapi and the transport read URL to the method in your controller.
<div id="example" ng-app="KendoDemos">
<div class="demo-section k-content" ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<h4>Autocomplete</h4>
<input kendo-auto-complete
k-data-text-field="'Name'"
k-data-value-field="'Id'"
options="autoCompleteOptions" style="width: 21%;" />
</div>
</div><script>
angular.module("KendoDemos", [ "kendo.directives" ])
.controller("MyCtrl", function($scope){
$scope.autoCompleteOptions = {
dataSource: {
type: "webapi",
serverFiltering: true,
transport: {
read: {
url: "/api/products"
}
},
schema: {
data: "Data",
total: "Total",
errors: "Errors"
}
}
};
})
</script>
----------- Controller implementation
// GET api/values
public DataSourceResult Get([System.Web.Http.ModelBinding.ModelBinder(typeof(WebApiDataSourceRequestModelBinder))]DataSourceRequest request)
{
var products = new List<Product>
{
new Product { Name = "Product 1", Id = "1" },
new Product { Name = "Product 2", Id = "2" },
new Product { Name = "Product 3", Id = "3" }
};
return products.ToDataSourceResult(request);
}
