sonata_type_model using ajax to autocomplete?

[ShadowShade]

Hi, I was wondering if i could get some advice on the best approach to do the below :-

using 'sonata_type_model' to allow relating entities which looks good, but it loads in all the possible values to a hidden select field which is queried against for the autocomplete.

unfortunately the live table will have thousands of records so was wondering if anyone has ever ajaxified the autocompleter, or if there is something in place already? if not im guessing the best approach would be to copy whats there and create a new 'sonata_type_model_ajax'

any advice or pointers would be greatly appreciated :)

It's currently not supported out of the box, but it's an ongoing discussion, e.g. see https://github.com/sonata-project/SonataAdminBundle/pull/1764.

There are examples however which you can make use of in your case: FOSUserBundle has implemented autocomplete in fields for choosing a user (where there could be thousands of users, as well). Among others parts, one of the key elements is the UserToUsernameTransformer class used for this purpose.

Hope this helps, regards RAPHAEL

Hello,

 You can use the sonata_type_model_list as a solution to avoid loading to many entities.
