Last updated 1 month ago

Was this helpful?

In Lowcoder, the Cascader component allows users to select options from a hierarchical, multi-level data structure through a dropdown menu. This component is particularly useful for presenting nested options in a streamlined and user-friendly manner.

Key Features:

  1. Hierarchical Data Representation: The Cascader displays data in multiple interconnected levels, enabling users to navigate and select from nested categories efficiently.

  2. Dynamic Option Loading: It supports asynchronous loading of options, allowing for the retrieval of data on-the-fly as users expand parent categories, which is beneficial for handling large datasets without performance issues.

  3. Multiple Selection: The component can be configured to allow single or multiple selections, providing flexibility based on the application's requirements.

  4. Customizable Display: Developers can customize the display of selected options, including the separator between levels, to enhance readability and user experience.

  5. Search Functionality: The Cascader includes a built-in search feature, enabling users to quickly locate specific options within the hierarchy by typing keywords.

  6. Integration with Forms: It seamlessly integrates with form components, allowing for the collection of structured data inputs that reflect complex relationships.

By incorporating the Cascader component, developers can effectively manage and present complex, nested data structures in their Lowcoder applications, enhancing both functionality and user experience.
