Search Delay for TextItem

[aderosso]

We're using a TextItem as a search bar. We can execute the search on change or with the enter key. However, we'd like to have functionality similar to the ListGrid's filter editor.

The default delay is 300 milliseconds. Is there a way to have this same "delay" functionality with a TextItem? We tried the onChangedHandler but that executes way too much.

You do need to use the onChangedHandler, and from there set a timer to initiate search, and cancel/reset the timer if more input occurs. That's how the built-in fetchDelay feature is implemented and how this kind of thing is implemented in general.

Perfect, thank you for the guidance.
