Rest framework autocomplete

[Soumen Khatua]

Hi guys,

 I want to implement autocomplete options like if someone type 'a' if it is contains in between any data it should provide the suggestion of the matched words. Then it will return first 25 matched data, how I can do that by using django rest framework. Please help me with source code.

Thank you in advance

Regards,

Soumen

You need to use these both:

1.Filter: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/filtering/
2.Pagination: https://www.django-rest-framework.org/api-guide/pagination/

Hi,

This is exactly what you do with filtering and pagination? Could you please specify why it doesn't suit your usecase? I need to understand more to actually be able to help you :)

You will need to load the data first and for the rest use javascript

Suppose If I'll type 'A' and database contains some sentences as an example AABC, ABC, BCA.It should suggest all the names those are contains A. If I need to javascript then I can configure could you tell me please.

Ok - so what you need to do is configure the endpoint to use the filters and pagination. Then you need to connect to the backend with javascript and populating the results by adding to the dom.

Here is something that is more or less what you want to do - however you need the backend code to get this to work:

If you read the article I sent you he goes through the javascript side and what you need to do on that side. However the endpoint URL you need to decide yourself - thats the part restframework helps you with.
