Accessible methods and properties

Properties

.data

To pass data to the component, you must modify the data property. Once the component is loaded in your webpage you can do something like:

	let sb = document.getElementsByTagName('advanced-searchbar')[0];
    sb.data = [{"id":"toto","text":"this is toto and he is funny","pill":"toto_pill"},{"id":"tata","text":"this is tata and she is funny too toto","pill":"tata_pill"},{"id":"titi","text":"this is titi and he is yellow toto","pill":"titi_pill"}];

Note that your data must be an array of objects where "id" represent the field you want to return when you click on it, "text" represent the text where the word or keyword you wrote inside the search-bar appear and "pill" the field that matched you request. When developping this component, we use an express server that returned this kind of results.
