Renders a list of suggested texts for a given input field. Basic features:

provide a list directly while rendering (not AJAX needed) [todo]
update by typing (AJAX)
minimum number of typed characters (to avoid useless requests)
update delay (useful for optimization)
filter on client side (useful for optimization) [todo]

UIComponentClass: org.apache.myfaces.tobago.component.UISuggest

RendererType: Suggest

Tag Information

Attributes
Name	Required	Request-time	Type	Description
binding	false	false	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `javax.faces.component.UIComponent`)	The value binding expression linking this component to a property in a backing bean. Warning: For the tobago extension library tx the binding differs from JSP and Facelets: JSP: The component is the inner main control (e. g. UIInput). Facelets: The component is the outer UIPanel. Type: `javax.faces.component.UIComponent`
delay	false	false	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.Integer`)	Time in milli seconds before the list will be requested (by AJAX). Type: `java.lang.Integer` Default: `300`
filter	false	false	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.Object`)	TODO: not implemented yet Additional client side filtering of the result list. This is useful when sending the full list initially to the client and setting `update=false`. Possible values are: all no filtering prefix checks if the suggested string starts with the typed text contains checks if the typed text is inside of the suggested string The filter will only applied on the client side and only if server updated (by AJAX) are turned off (`update=false`); Type: `org.apache.myfaces.tobago.model.SuggestFilter` Default: `SuggestFilter.ALL` Allowed Values: `[all, prefix, contains]`
id	false	true	`java.lang.String`	The component identifier for this component. This value must be unique within the closest parent component that is a naming container. Type: `java.lang.String`
markup	false	false	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `org.apache.myfaces.tobago.context.Markup`)	Indicate markup of this component. The allowed markups can be defined or overridden in the theme. The value 'none' should not be used any longer. Just leave the attribute empty, or use a NULL pointer. Type: `org.apache.myfaces.tobago.context.Markup`
maximumItems	false	false	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.Integer`)	The maximum number of item to display in the drop down list. Type: `java.lang.Integer` Default: `10`
minimumCharacters	false	false	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.Integer`)	Minimum number of characters to type before the list will be requested. If the value is 0, there will be send an initial list to the client. So, if you set update="false" this value should be 0. Type: `java.lang.Integer` Default: `1`
rendered	false	false	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.Boolean`)	Flag indicating whether or not this component should be rendered (during Render Response Phase), or processed on any subsequent form submit. Type: `boolean` Default: `true`
suggestMethod	false	false	`javax.el.MethodExpression` (signature must match `java.lang.Object suggestMethod(javax.faces.component.UIInput)`)	** @deprecated. Will be removed in a future version ** Please use an tag or a list of tags (TODO: not implemented yet). MethodBinding which generates a list of suggested input values based on the currently entered text, which could be retrieved via getSubmittedValue() on the UIIn. The expression has to evaluate to a public method which has a javax.faces.component.UIInput parameter and returns a List, a List or a org.apache.myfaces.tobago.model.AutoSuggestItems.
totalCount	false	false	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.Integer`)	The real size of the result list. Typically the result list will be cropped (in the backend) to save memory. This value can be set, to show the user there are more results for the given string. If the value is -1, no hint will be displayed. Type: `java.lang.Integer` Default: `-1`
update	false	false	`javax.el.ValueExpression` (must evaluate to `java.lang.Boolean`)	TODO: not implemented yet Should the list be updated while typing (via AJAX). This is the default behaviour. If you set this value to `false`, please set the `minimumCharacters="0". Type: boolean Default: true`
