FAQ

Why doesn't the text composition system work well with onSearch in controlled mode?

Please use onChange to manage control state. onSearch is used for searching input which is not the same as onChange. Besides, clicking on the option will not trigger the onSearch event.

Part of the api in v3 are not available in v4?

AutoComplete is an Input component that supports auto complete tips. As such, it should not support props like labelInValue that affect value display. In v3, the AutoComplete implementation can not handle the case where the value and label are identical. v4 not longer support label as the value input.

Besides, to unify the API, dataSource is replaced with options. You can migrate with the following change:

v3

dataSource = ['light', 'bamboo'];
// or
dataSource = [
  { value: 'light', text: 'Light' },
  { value: 'bamboo', text: 'Bamboo' },
];

v4

options = [
  { value: 'light', label: 'Light' },
  { value: 'bamboo', label: 'Bamboo' },
];
