Ember Power Select - How to close select of EPS

Question

I'm trying to close the select box before it executes the search with Ember Power Select. I'm assuming the user knows what he is looking for if he paste a list and automatically sets the selected items.

I tried to use select.actions.close() but it seems that it is related to the onClose() event. I also try to use the property opened but changing it did not show any difference.

My component

{{#power-select-multiple
        renderInPlace=true
        search=(action "mySearch")
        selected=selected_item
        onchange=(action (mut selected_item))
        oninput=(action "checkPastingMultipleElements")
        opened=checkSelect
        as |name|
}}
    {{name}}
{{/power-select-multiple}}

my action

checkPastingMultipleElements(text, select) {
        this.set('selecteded_item', [text]);
        // error
        // select.actions.close()

        // does nothing
        // if (text.length === 4) { this.set('checkSelect', false); }            

        return false; // if true, it executes the search
}

Your initial guess was right, using select.actions.close is possible, but you have to enqueue this in the runloop to avoid a double-render problem.

Also, if what you want to do is to select a value and close the select, select.actions.choose is exactly what you want.

  checkPastingMultipleElements(text, select) {
    Ember.run.scheduleOnce('actions', null, select.actions.choose, [text]);
  }
