    Filter contents in relation to value selected from a drop down box

    I want to filter a list of contents based on the values selected in a drop down box. 

    This is my workflow.

    When the page loads, it displays a list of fruits.

    There will a drop down box at the top of the page which says Color. And I would select "red" and hit update.

    That should clear the list below and show all fruits, which are of color "Red"

    Note: Each of these fruits will have a seperate property called color. Which I have not listed, But I know we are filtereing on that property.

     

    How can I achieve this? 

    I hope its something similar to this:

    <ul>
    @foreach(var item in @Model.Children.Where("Red"))
    {
        <li>@item.Name</li>
    }
    </ul>
    My biggest concern is how do i pass the value red here on a button click. I hope I am on the right path.

    Hi again,

    Are you wanting to perform this filtering asynchronously with JavaScript or are you thinking the page will reload?

    For a asynchronous solution if you are using Umbraco v6.1 the recommended approach is to use UmbracoApi Controller There is a very good blog post here also.

    If you are using a older version of Umbraco and cannot upgrade then the approach is to use the /base Api

    You will of course need some jQuery or other JS Ajax handler to request the data and decide if you do the filtering client side or have a parameter you pass with the request and make a Ajax request each time the filter is changed.

    If you are looking for a classic querystring/page reload solution have a look at this thread which is very similar.

    Thanks,

    Jeavon
