Any other data source
Implement a CustomStore.
Regardless of the data source on the input, the Lookup always wraps it in the DataSource object. This object allows you to sort, filter, group, and perform other data shaping operations. To get its instance, call the getDataSource() method.
Review the following notes about data binding:
Do not specify the items property if you specified the dataSource, and vice versa.
Field names cannot be equal to this
and should not contain the following characters: .
, :
, [
, and ]
.
Lookup does not execute dataSource.sort functions. To implement custom sorting logic, implement columns[].calculateSortValue.

Specifies or indicates whether the editor's value is valid.
Selector: is-valid
Default Value: true
An array of items displayed by the UI component.
The items array can contain:
If you need to update the UI component items, reassign the entire items array as shown in the following example:
lookupInstance.option('items', newItems);
As an alternative to items, you can use the dataSource property. It accepts the DataSource object, whose underlying stores provide an API that allows you to update individual items without reassigning the entire item collection.
Do not use the items property if you use dataSource, and vice versa.
Specifies a custom template for items.
Selector: item-template
Template Data:The current item's data.
Default Name: 'item'
Specifies a text string used to annotate the editor's value.

Default Value: 'static', 'floating' (Material), 'outside' (Fluent)
This property can have one of the following values:
labelMode Description Illustration "static" The label is displayed above the input field. "floating" The label is used as a placeholder, but when the editor gets focus,If autofill is enabled in the browser, we do not recommend that you use "floating" mode. The autofill values will overlap the label when it is displayed as a placeholder. Use "static" mode instead.
The minimum number of characters that must be entered into the text box to begin a search. Applies only if searchEnabled is true.
Selector: min-search-length
Default Value: 0
The value to be assigned to the name
attribute of the underlying HTML element.
Specify this property if the UI component lies within an HTML form that will be submitted.
The text displayed on the button used to load the next page from the data source.
Selector: next-button-text
Default Value: 'More'
Specifies the text or HTML markup displayed by the UI component if the item collection is empty.
Selector: no-data-text
Default Value: 'No data to display'
The Lookup component evaluates the noDataText property's value. This evaluation, however, makes the Lookup potentially vulnerable to XSS attacks. To guard against these attacks, encode the HTML markup before you assign it to the noDataText property. Refer to the following help topic for more information: Potentially Vulnerable API - noDataText.

, the component specifies the validation message position automatically.
The following example positions a validation message at the component's right:
jQuery$(function() { $("#lookupContainer").dxLookup({ // ... validationMessagePosition: 'right' }).dxValidator({ validationRules: [{ type: 'required', message: 'Required', }], }); });Angular
<dx-lookup ... validationMessagePosition="right"> <dx-validator> <dxi-validation-rule type="required" message="Required" > </dxi-validation-rule> </dx-validator> </dx-lookup>Vue
<template> <DxLookup ... validation-message-position="right" > <DxValidator> <DxRequiredRule message="Required" /> </DxValidator> </DxLookup> </template> <script> // ... </script>React
import React from 'react'; // ... function App() { return ( <Lookup ... validationMessagePosition="right" > <Validator> <RequiredRule message="Required" /> </Validator> </Lookup> ); }; export default App;
Indicates or specifies the current validation status.
Selector: validation-status
Default Value: 'valid'
The following table illustrates the validation status indicators:
When you assign "invalid" to validationStatus, you can also use the validationErrors array to set an error message as shown below:
jQuery$(function() { const lookup = $("#lookupContainer").dxLookup({ // ... }).dxLookup("instance"); function setInvalidStatus(message) { lookup.option({ validationStatus: "invalid", validationErrors: [{ message: message }] }); } });Angular
<dx-lookup [validationStatus]="validationStatus" [validationErrors]="validationErrors"> </dx-lookup>
// ... export class AppComponent { validationStatus: string = "valid"; validationErrors: any; // ... setInvalidStatus(message) { this.validationStatus = "invalid"; this.validationErrors = [{ message: message }]; } }Vue
<template> <DxLookup ... :validation-status="validationStatus" :validation-errors="validationErrors" /> </template> <script> // ... export default { // ... data() { return { validationStatus: "valid", validationErrors: [] } }, methods: { setInvalidStatus(message) { this.validationStatus = "invalid"; this.validationErrors = [{ message: message }]; } } } </script>React
import React, { useState } from 'react'; // ... function App() { const [validationStatus, setValidationStatus] = useState("valid"); const [validationErrors, setValidationErrors] = useState([]); const setInvalidStatus = message => { setValidationStatus("invalid"); setValidationErrors([{ message: message }]); } return ( <Lookup validationStatus={validationStatus} validationErrors={validationErrors} /> ); }; export default App;
Specifies the currently selected value. May be an object if dataSource contains objects, the store key is specified, and valueExpr is not set.
Type: any
Default Value: null
When dataSource contains objects, you should define valueExpr to correctly identify data items. If valueExpr is not specified, the component compares object references to display an item, not object values. For instance, if you define the value property as an object containing identical values to dataSource to select all items, the component displays nothing.
Specifies the DOM events after which the UI component's value should be updated.
Selector: value-change-event
Default Value: 'input change keyup'
This property accepts a single event name or several names separated by spaces.
The recommended events are "keyup", "blur", "change", "input", and "focusout", but you can use other events as well.
See AlsoSpecifies which data field provides unique values to the UI component's value.
Selector: value-expr
Function parameters:The current item's data object.
A unique item identifier.
Default Value: 'this'
When dataSource contains objects, you should define valueExpr to correctly identify data items. Otherwise, the component uses referential equality to compare objects, which may result in unexpected behavior.
If you use a store, the valueExpr property should have the same value as the key in the store. Alternatively, you can use this
as a valueExpr but the key should be specified. Refer to the following article for more information: Troubleshooting - A Drop-Down Editor Does Not Show Data.
Do not use template
as a valueExpr value.
You cannot specify valueExpr as a function when the UI component is bound to a remote data source. This is because valueExpr is used in a filter the UI component sends to the server when querying data. Functions with custom logic cannot be serialized for this filter.
See AlsoSpecifies whether the UI component is visible.
Specifies the UI component's width.
This property accepts a value of one of the following types:
Number
The width in pixels.
String
A CSS-accepted measurement of width. For example, "55px"
, "20vw"
, "80%"
, "auto"
, "inherit"
.
Specifies whether text that exceeds the drop-down list width should be wrapped.
Selector: wrap-item-text
Default Value: false
