Does Vaadin have the ability to do reccomendations from a text box

Vaadin 6 / 7 / 8 Framework UI
1

I’m very new to Vaadin I actually just came across it a week or so ago and decided that I want to attempt my next project using it. Something that I want to utilize though is the ability for some type of text reccomendation when a user is entering text into a form. Something like you would get with google say you type in goo and options below the text box are google maps google.com etc.

I didn’t see this functionality in the base anywhere. Was wondering if anybody knows of any addins that can do this type of thing or if I’d have to program that functionality myself somehow. If it’s the latter does anybody know of any documentation about how to build add-ins with Vaadin?

Thanks

You could use ComboBox if you want a simple string search, which is the most usual case. The SuperImmediateTextField add-on is useful for making more complex interaction. Also the AutoCompleteTextField add-on might be useful.

You can find instructions for using add-ons in the
Directory Help
 and in
the Book
.
