Simple Implementation

With DropdownSearch, creating dropdown menus is smooth and straightforward. Here’s a brief implementation overview:


DropdownSearch(
  items: (f, cs) => [Item 1, Item 2, Item 3, Item 4],
  popupProps: PopupProps.menu(
    disabledItemFn: (item) => item == Item 3,
    fit: FlexFit.loose
  ),
);

Using Analogy: Building a DropdownSearch

Imagine you’re hosting a grand dinner party (your app) and want to present a buffet (dropdown menu) for your guests (users). You don’t just throw food on the table; you need a systematic way to present it for easy selection. DropdownSearch is like the thoughtful host organizing dishes into labeled sections so that each guest can easily select dishes they fancy.

  • Items: The various dishes you offer (options in your dropdown).
  • PopupProps: How you showcase your buffet on the table (properties for how the dropdown appears).
  • DisabledItemFn: Some dishes should not be served at the moment (options that can’t be selected).

Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues while using the DropdownSearch or need further support, here are a few tips:

  • Ensure you have correctly imported the package.
  • Check for latest version updates of the DropdownSearch.
  • For display issues, verify your UI settings and ensure compatibility with your design choices.
  • If you have missing items or features not functioning, look into your item list and conditions carefully.
