How to autocomplete bootstrap tokenfield with ajax? - php

Question

I want to use the tokenfield for bootstrap: http://sliptree.github.io/bootstrap-tokenfield/ but I can't seem to find any documentation on how to do it using AJAX. I have a .php file with json data like this {"Hello", "Helium", "Hell"} and I want it to be the autocomplete values. Please note that the .php file only returns values that are similar to what is being typed. Can anyone find a way to do this? Any help would be highly appreciated. I just wanna use that gorgeous bootstrap tokenfield to autocomplete tags and disallow autocomplete if the word's don't exist there.
Thanks.

Answer 1

You need to implement either autocomplete from jquery-ui or typeahead from twitter, and then apply specific options.
$('#activity_tag_tokens').tokenfield({
typeahead: {
prefetch: '/tags.json',
remote: '/tags.json?q=%QUERY',
}
});

Bootstrap tokenfield - typeahead autocomplete with remote call using ajax
Prerequisitics:
= stylesheet_link_tag 'sales_crm/tokenfield-typeahead.css'
= stylesheet_link_tag 'sales_crm/bootstrap-tokenfield.css'
%script{:src => "//code.jquery.com/ui/1.10.3/jquery-ui.js", :type => "text/javascript"}
= javascript_include_tag "sales_crm/bootstrap-tokenfield.js"
= javascript_include_tag "sales_crm/typeahead.bundle.min.js"
In HAML View File:
%input#tokenfield-typeahead.form-control.add_locality_data{:type => "text", :value => "", :identifier=> "Locality"}/
1) Initialize the BloodHound search engine
var engine = new Bloodhound({
remote: {
url: '/sales_crm/leads/get_lead_associated_info?query=%QUERY&model_class='+$('.add_locality_data').attr("identifier"),
filter: function (response) {
var tagged_user = $('#tokenfield-typeahead').tokenfield('getTokens');
console.log(tagged_user)
return $.map(response.leads, function (user) {
console.log(user)
var exists = false;
// console.log("velava saranam");
for (i=0; i < tagged_user.length; i++) {
if (user.value == tagged_user[i].value) {
var exists = true;
}
}
if (!exists) {
return {
value: user.value,
label: user.label
};
}
});
}
},
datumTokenizer: function (d) {
return Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(d.value);
},
queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace
});
engine.initialize();
2) Then Initialize tokenfield function
$('#tokenfield-typeahead').tokenfield({
delimiter: false,
typeahead: [
{
name: 'users',
displayKey: 'label',
source: engine.ttAdapter()
}
]
})
.on('tokenfield:createtoken', function (e) {
var existingTokens = $(this).tokenfield('getTokens');
if (existingTokens.length) {
$.each(existingTokens, function(index, token) {
console.log(token)
if (token.value === e.attrs.value) {
e.preventDefault();
}else{
console.log(e.attrs.value)
}
});
}else{
console.log(e.attrs.value)
}
});

It's OK ... I find the solution
$('#tokenfield1').tokenfield();
var mots_cles = "";
$.each(e.valeur_tableau_infos_tutoriel.Mots_cles, function (index,value){
mots_cles += value.mots_cles+',';
})
$('#tokenfield1').tokenfield('setTokens', mots_cles)
}
