This relates to the new standalone typeahead that Twitter recently released, not the Bootstrap version, see Twitter Typeahead.js<http://engineering.twitter.com/2013/02/twitter-typeaheadjs-you-autocomplete-me.html>
I'm trying to integrate this into a rails app to lookup sub-categories from the db and I'm having trouble trying to get it to work. I have a local version working with hard coded data that you can see here: http://jsfiddle.net/v7dJ4/1/embedded/result/ In my rails version I get no errors in the console when I search. Here is my JS: $(document).ready(function() { $('input.typeahead').typeahead({ name: 'names', prefetch: '/sub_categories/names.json', limit: 10 }); }); If I navigate to http://jog.dev/sub_categories/names.json I get the valid json data so that part is working: [["Migrations","Controllers","Models","Associations","Views","Tests"]] I think my problem is with 'name'. In the docs: https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js#datasets it mentions that name is the string that is used to identify the dataset. Do I need to inject this into the json? Any help much appreciated. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
