I tried to get this to work for the last two days, to no avail. I use Bootstrap 3 and I tried both versions of typeahead: http://twitter.imtqy.com/typeahead.js/releases/latest/typeahead.jquery.js
and older version:
http://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/typeahead.js/0.9.3/typeahead.min.js . And this CSS:
https://raw.github.com/grk/bookstore-example/master/app/assets/stylesheets/typeahead.css
My javascript is as follows:
$( "#user_search").typeahead({
name: "user",
remote: "/users/autocomplete?query=%QUERY"
})
My model:
class User
include Mongoid::Document
field :user_id, type: Integer
field :name, type: String
searchkick autocomplete: ['name']
In my controller, I:
def autocomplete
render json: User.search(params[:query], autocomplete: true, limit: 10).map(&:name)
end
Config / routes:
resources :users, only: :index do
collection do
get :autocomplete
end
end
resources :users
And my opinion:
<%= text_field_tag :query, params[:query], class: 'form-control', type: 'text', placeholder: 'Search For User...', id: "user_search", autocomplete: "off" %>
I use Searchkick's autocomplete results, which work great when I do:
User.search("the", autocomplete: true).map(&:name)
rails , URL REST (/users/autcomplete? query = SomeQuery).
