Introduction

Materialize template gives facility to search page and directly go to that page on click.

As this template provides vertical & horizontal layout options, We are using search-[vertical|horizontal].json file for search list. You can find this file inside public/assets/json/ folder.

JSON List

Now, Let's have a look at how to update the array list of this file. You can update this file list as per your requirements. In search list, we are adding pages, files & members. All the page path and image URLs should be updated as per your requirements.

Below is the format of an item:

{
  "pages": [
    {
      "name": "Dashboard eCommerce",
      "icon": "ri-home-7-line",
      "url": "dashboards/ecommerce"
    },
    {...}
  ],
  "files": [
    {
      "name": "Class Attendance",
      "subtitle": "By Tommy Shelby",
      "src": "img/icons/misc/search-xls.png",
      "meta": "17kb",
      "url": "javascript:;"
    },
    {...}
  ],
  "members": [
    {
      "name": "John Doe",
      "subtitle": "Admin",
      "src": "img/avatars/1.png",
      "url": "app/user/view/account"
    },
    {...}
  ]
}
