Typeahead auto-open on init

[ilvalerione]

Hello, I'm binding Typeahead with v-model to my internal variable.

<typeahead async="/api/countries?q=" v-model="val.country" :template="countriesSuggestionsTemplate" :limit="5" :on-hit="selectCountry" placeholder="Search...">

But when I declare a default value for val.country Typeahead open automatically the drop down list. I think because the plugin finds a "changed" event of the input value.

Is there a way to close programmatically the dropdown list or to block this behavior?

I had that issue, I set the limit to zero initially and then when someone types I change limit to 4. Sorta acts as a disable initially and reenable when someone types.

<div class="col-xs-5" v-on:keyup="enableTypeahead">
            <label for = "name">Style</label>              
            <typeahead                 
                v-model="beer.style.stylename"
                placeholder="Style" 
                async-key="data" 
                :async="getAsyncStyleUrl" 
                :template="asyncStyleTemplate" 
                :on-hit="callBackStyle"
                :limit="typeaheadLimit">
            </typeahead>             
        </div>

data (){
        return {
            asyncStyleTemplate: '{{ item.stylename }}',
            typeaheadLimit: 0
        }
    }

enableTypeahead() {
            this.typeaheadLimit = 4;
        }

Nice workaround @tehjrow

I made it work by alterring the source (in Typeahead.vue, or the js created from it): I added a prop to the component ( around line 35 ):

    matchStart: { type: Boolean, default: false },
    supressInitialSearch: { type: Boolean, default: false }, // added
    onHit: {

And then I changedf the created hook to respect this property (around line 125)

      if (! this.supressInitialSearch) {
          this.__update();
      }

And now the property can be added to the typeaheads when needed:

                <typeahead 
                           supress-initial-search
                           :on-hit="...">

This seems to work for me, to prevent the initial search and popup
