How to update search bar value when a drop-down value changes?

kevshah — Wed, 30 Mar 2016 16:37:05 GMT

I am using following code to display search bar controls on a dashboard. I want to pass a query dynamically into a search bar based on drop-down values selection. (i.e. query in search bar should change whenever drop-down value changes)

 var mysearchbar = new SearchbarView ({
            id: "searchbar1",
            "value": sourcetype.value,
            el: $("#mysearchbar1")
        }, {tokens: true }).render();

You change change the search property. Here is an example to give an idea

mydropdown.on("change", function(newValue) {
    FormUtils.handleValueChange(mydropdown);
    // build you search string using values from dropdown
    var newsearchstring = "<<your new search string with value from dropdown>>
   mysearchbar.settings.set("value", newsearchstring)
                });
