Native Events in Blazor AutoComplete component

The following section explains the steps to include native events and pass data to event handler in the AutoComplete component.

Bind native events to AutoComplete

You can access any native event by using on <event> attribute with a component. The attribute’s value is treated as an event handler.

In the following example, the keyPressed method is called every time the key is pressed on input.

<SfAutoComplete TValue="string" TItem="Countries" @onkeypress='@KeyPressed'></SfAutoComplete>

@code {
    public void KeyPressed()
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Key Pressed!");
    }

    public class Countries
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Code { get; set; }
    }

    List<Countries> LocalData = new List<Countries> {
        new Countries() { Name = "Australia", Code = "AU" },
        new Countries() { Name = "Bermuda", Code = "BM" },
        new Countries() { Name = "Canada", Code = "CA" },
        new Countries() { Name = "Cameroon", Code = "CM" },
        new Countries() { Name = "Denmark", Code = "DK" },
        new Countries() { Name = "France", Code = "FR" },
    };
}

Also, you can rewrite the above example code as follows using Lambda expressions.

<SfAutoComplete TValue="string" @onkeypress="@(() => Console.WriteLine("Key Pressed!"))"></SfAutoComplete>

Pass event data to event handler

Blazor provides set of argument types to map to native events. The list of event types and event arguments are:

  • Focus Events - FocusEventArgs
  • Mouse Events - MouseEventArgs
  • Keyboard Events - KeyboardEventArgs
  • Input Events - ChangeEventArgs/EventArgs
  • Touch Events – TouchEventArgs
  • Pointer Events – PointerEventArgs

In the following example, the onkeypress method is called every time any key is pressed inside input. But the message will print when you press “a” key.

<SfAutoComplete TValue="string" TItem="Countries" @onkeypress='@(e => KeyPressed(e))' ></SfAutoComplete>

@code {
  public void KeyPressed(KeyboardEventArgs args) {
    if (args.Key == "a") {
      Console.WriteLine("A was pressed");
    }
  }
  public class Countries
    {
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Code { get; set; }
    }

    List<Countries> LocalData = new List<Countries> {
        new Countries() { Name = "Australia", Code = "AU" },
        new Countries() { Name = "Bermuda", Code = "BM" },
        new Countries() { Name = "Canada", Code = "CA" },
        new Countries() { Name = "Cameroon", Code = "CM" },
        new Countries() { Name = "Denmark", Code = "DK" },
        new Countries() { Name = "France", Code = "FR" },
    };
}

Using Lambda expression also, you can pass the event data to the event handler.
