Add a search textbox to my app

Ahmed Elshorbagy

Hello,

I want to add a search textbox to my app in the top right side which will slide and expand to the left side when get focused by users. Does onsen have such a control ? If not, is there a working example can guide me?

Thank you

@Ahmed-Elshorbagy Well, I have down popdown search bars. This eBook template does that. https://github.com/munsterlander/Onsen-Examples/tree/master/eBook-Template You can place an input in the title bar though and would just need to add some JS overwriting the CSS to make it do what you want. I know there is an Onsen component that has search, but I can’t remember what it is or how it works off the top of my head.

I tried to add a textbox in the right side, it works in the design mode but when I create an APK file it is not working in my mobile, the textbox expands but I cannot write inside it, I don’t know why?

  <ons-toolbar>
        <div class="left">
          <ons-toolbar-button onclick="fn.open()">
            <ons-icon icon="ion-navicon, material:md-menu"></ons-icon>
          </ons-toolbar-button>
        </div>
        <div class="center">
Title   
        </div>
        <div class="right">  
            <input type="text" id="search" placeholder="Search" class='search' >               
        </div>
</ons-toolbar>
