How to create a reuseable custom dropdown with Search in Salesforce LWC

Isn’t it tiring to scroll all the way and still not be able to find what you want to? This smart solution allows you to search what you want from hundreds of values in the Lightning Web Component’s generic custom dropdown menu.

How to access this feature?

  • To access this functionality, all you need to do is to pass these- All the Options from your picklist, Value, and finally ‘Label’ of the selected value.
  • Add the names of all the objects in the Controller, send Options, selected Value, and selected Label in the component, then you will be able to access the search feature.

Why do we need this functionality?

  • You need to have a Generic custom dropdown component with search functionality as we do not have search functionality in the standard picklist.
  • As you know, whenever we make a standard UI in the Salesforce lightning component, we have to manually find different values. But with this component, we can easily replace any dropdown.
  • If you run out of time, this solution is the best for you. It would help you to save time to focus on other important aspects of your business.
