Description copied from corresponding location in WebComponent:

<vaadin-combo-box> is a combo box element combining a dropdown list with an input field for filtering the list of items. If you want to replace the default input field with a custom implementation, you should use the <vaadin-combo-box-light> element.

Items in the dropdown list must be provided as a list of String values. Defining the items is done using the items property, which can be assigned with data-binding, using an attribute or directly with the JavaScript property.

<vaadin-combo-box label="Fruit" items="[[data]]"> </vaadin-combo-box>

combobox.items = ['apple', 'orange', 'banana'];

When the selected value is changed, a value-changed event is triggered.

This element can be used within an iron-form.

Item rendering

<vaadin-combo-box> supports using custom renderer callback function for defining the content of <vaadin-combo-box-item>.

The renderer function provides root, comboBox, model arguments when applicable. Generate DOM content by using model object properties if needed, append it to the root element and control the state of the host element by accessing comboBox. Before generating new content, users are able to check if there is already content in root for reusing it.

<vaadin-combo-box id="combo-box"></vaadin-combo-box> const comboBox = document.querySelector('#combo-box');comboBox.items = [ 'label': 'Hydrogen', 'value': 'H']; comboBox.renderer = function(root, comboBox, model) { root.innerHTML = model.index + ': ' + model.item.label + ' ' + '' + model.item.value + ''; };}

Renderer is called on the opening of the combo-box and each time the related model is updated. DOM generated during the renderer call can be reused in the next renderer call and will be provided with the root argument. On first call it will be empty.

Item Template

Alternatively, the content of the <vaadin-combo-box-item> can be populated by using custom item template provided in the light DOM:

<vaadin-combo-box items='[{"label": "Hydrogen", "value": "H"}]'> <template> [[index]]: [[item.label]] <b>[[item.value]</b> </template> </vaadin-combo-box>

The following properties are available for item template bindings:

Property name Type Description
index Number Index of the item in the items array
item String or Object The item reference
selected Boolean True when item is selected
focused Boolean True when item is focused

Lazy Loading with Function Data Provider

In addition to assigning an array to the items property, you can alternatively provide the <vaadin-combo-box> data through the dataProvider function property. The <vaadin-combo-box> calls this function lazily, only when it needs more data to be displayed.

See the dataProvider in the API reference below for the detailed data provider arguments description, and the “Lazy Loading“ example on “Basics†page in the demos.

Note that when using function data providers, the total number of items needs to be set manually. The total number of items can be returned in the second argument of the data provider callback:

javascript comboBox.dataProvider = function(params, callback) var url = 'https://api.example/data' + '?page=' + params.page + // the requested page index '&amp;per_page=' + params.pageSize; // number of items on the page var xhr = new XMLHttpRequest(); xhr.onload = function() { var response = JSON.parse(xhr.responseText); callback( response.employees, // requested page of items response.totalSize // total number of items ); }; xhr.open('GET', url, true); xhr.send(); ;}

Styling

The following custom properties are available for styling:

Custom property Description Default
--vaadin-combo-box-overlay-max-height Property that determines the max height of overlay 65vh

The following shadow DOM parts are available for styling:

Part name Description
text-field The text field
toggle-button The toggle button

See <vaadin-overlay> documentation for <vaadin-combo-box-overlay> parts.

See <vaadin-text-field> documentation for the text field parts.

The following state attributes are available for styling:

Attribute Description Part name
opened Set when the combo box dropdown is open :host
disabled Set to a disabled combo box :host
readonly Set to a read only combo box :host
has-value Set when the element has a value :host
invalid Set when the element is invalid :host
focused Set when the element is focused :host
focus-ring Set when the element is keyboard focused :host
loading Set when new items are expected :host

In addition to <vaadin-combo-box> itself, the following internal components are themable:

  • <vaadin-text-field>
  • <vaadin-combo-box-overlay>
  • <vaadin-combo-box-item>

Note: the theme attribute value set on <vaadin-combo-box> is propagated to the internal themable components listed above.
