action

Overview

With the use of a nested action in an edit-typeahead an additional item will appear with the results of on-search. If this item is selected, this action tag's on-press will fire with the current search value.

Basic Example

In this example we add the option to create a new user.

main.view.xml

<object-table ...>
  <column ...>
    <edit-typeahead ...>
      <action label="Create User" icon="fa-user" on-press="$:createUser($object, searchValue)" />
    </edit-typeahead>
  </column>
</object-table>

main.js

function createUser(object, searchValue){
    var user = DB.user.create();
    user.name = searchValue;
    user.save();
}
