Question 1

How to bind Blazored Typeahead to a remote API in Blazor?

Accepted Answer

Implement a SearchMethod that makes an HTTP call, as shown in the remote data example—use HttpClient to fetch data and return it as an IEnumerable, with optional debounce tuning to control request frequency.

Question 2

Blazored Typeahead vs standard HTML select in Blazor?

Accepted Answer

Blazored Typeahead adds autocomplete, templates, and form integration, making it better for search-heavy UIs, while HTML select is simpler for static lists without typeahead needs. However, Typeahead requires more setup and JavaScript.

Question 3

Can I use Blazored Typeahead without an EditForm?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it can be used standalone as shown in the remote data example, but for full validation integration, wrapping it in an EditForm is recommended to leverage Blazor's built-in validation system.

Question 4

How to customize the styling of Blazored Typeahead?

Accepted Answer

Add custom CSS by overriding the included blazored-typeahead.css or using the provided CSS classes—the README requires CSS file inclusion, so you'll need to write or modify styles manually for visual tweaks.

Question 5

Is Blazored Typeahead accessible for screen readers?

Accepted Answer

While the README doesn't specify accessibility features, as a Blazor component, it likely follows standard practices, but you should test with ARIA attributes and ensure templates are semantically correct for your use case.

Question 6

How to handle validation errors with Blazored Typeahead?

Accepted Answer

Integrate it within an EditForm and use ValidationMessage components, as demonstrated in the local data example—this leverages Blazor's validation system to display errors based on the bound value.
