Remote autocomplete

To create an autocomplete that uses a remote data source, you can use the filterablebeforefilter event of the Filterable widget to dynamically populate a listview as a user types a search query.

This is useful when you have a very large data set like cities, zip codes, or products that can't be loaded up-front locally. Use the view source button to see the JavaScript that powers this demo.

If you have a small list of items, you can use the filter reveal option to make an autocomplete with local listview data.
