Suggestion: support array of objects as data source

[audetcameron]

you should be able to use the serializer

 :data="associative_array"
 :serializer="myvar=> myvar.keywithstringfromassociative_array"

If we understand you right, this should already be supported.

@alexurquhart,

I have an object array and I want to search it with different properties at the same time. I guess, there is not any way to do that now, isn't it? When I use a serializer, it searches only in the serialized array.

you could maybe modify your data strings from your API response (or after the response before you set the value to your v-model"
example :
your response is

{[
{
    'username':'my_username', 
    'first_name':'my_first_name'
},
    'username':'your_username', 
    'first_name':'your_first_name'
}
]} 

use javascript to convert the strings to something like this. (note | is just a character used to separate data in your string) you can use anything you want.

{[
{'my_username | my_first_name'},
{'your_username' | your_first_name}
]} 

then use the custom separator character | to modify the display using a computed property on the "query" v-model data. therefore it only shows my_username but still queries the other data.
