FAQ#
Why doesn't the text composition system work well with onSearch in controlled mode?#
Please use onChange
to manage control state. onSearch
is used for searching input which is not the same as onChange
. Besides, clicking on the option will not trigger the onSearch
event.
Part of the api in v3 are not available in v4?#
AutoComplete is an Input component that supports auto complete tips. As such, it should not support props like labelInValue
that affect value display. In v3, the AutoComplete implementation can not handle the case where the value
and label
are identical. v4 not longer support label
as the value input.
Besides, to unify the API, dataSource
is replaced with options
. You can migrate with the following change:
v3#
dataSource = ['light', 'bamboo'];
// or
dataSource = [
{ value: 'light', text: 'Light' },
{ value: 'bamboo', text: 'Bamboo' },
];
v4#
options = [
{ value: 'light', label: 'Light' },
{ value: 'bamboo', label: 'Bamboo' },
];
