Details

Below is an example of a component that uses the search control. In this example the search term is simply logged to the console. However, the component could instead emit an event to be consumed upstream,or it could trigger a change inside a search results component embedded inside the same component.

<adf-search-control 
    [highlight]="true"
    (optionClicked)="onItemClicked($event)"
    (submit)="onSearchSubmit($event)">
</adf-search-control>
