Datalist plugin for CakePHP
Many of the HTML 5 new widgets are automatically supported by CakePHP. Unfortunatelly datalist is not supported by default.
With the datalist HTML 5 element you can create a widget similar to select elements, but with datalist you are not forced to select one of the options, but you can add any new value also.
If you are looking for plain datalist support by a CakePHP plugin you should check dereuromark/cakephp-tools
This plugin adds an extra feature on a plain datalist. If you create a new option, than CakePHP will save the value in the associted model as a new record.
Backward compatibility
From version 1.0.0 we have renamed the widget, so in the AppView.php and in your template files you should use datalistJs instead of datalist as described below.
Sorry for breaking backward compatibility, but there were only a few installs of the previous versions and as dereuromark/cakephp-tools implemented plain datalist, this was the easiest way to do...
Installation
You can install this plugin into your CakePHP application using composer.
The recommended way to install the plugin is via composer:
Than you should load the plugin by issuing the following command in your terminal.
As the plugin extends the core HTML widgets you should load the form helper in your /src/View/AppView.php file like this:
Usage
In any model where you want to use datalist you should add datalist behavior.
For example in your /src/Model/Table/SkillsTable.php you should have the following code, where Languages should be associated to SkillsTable and name is the field on what we want to use datalist.
If you want more datalists you can add more models to the behavior.
Than in your controller you do a simple find operation and set the result to the view.
By this the $languages variable is available at /src/Template/Skills/add.ctpfile.
The end result should work like a charm and if you do not select one of the options but type in a new one, CakePHP will save it as a new entry in the associated model.
