Description
This sample demonstrates how you can work with a suggestion template when using the Search widget. At 3.14, a constructor option was added to the
source. The
suggestionTemplate option allows the search box to display a string template with multiple fields based on user's input. In this particular example, we are searching based on a parcel owner's name.The resulting suggestions display the parcel id and address for the specified owner name.
Suggestions are available if working with a 10.3 geocoding service that has suggest capability loaded or a 10.3 feature layer that supports pagination, i.e. supportsPagination = true. Also, if using the Esri locator, suggest does not have an option to return a number of suggestions. The following property allows you to verify that a feature layer supports pagination.
featureLayer.advancedQueryCapabilities.supportsPagination === true
