Bootstrap 3 typeahead.js - remote url attributes

Question

I\'m trying to call my remote url with added attributes to the url.

For now I have this working:

$(\'#league\').typeahead({
        remote: \'/typeah         


        

Answer 1

Hieu Nguyen solution will not work for %QUERY wildcards. According to Bloodhound.js documentation,

replace – .... If set, no wildcard substitution will be performed on url.

Bloodhound docs on github

So %QUERY will be passed as string without being replaced by text entered from user.

So you should put typeahead value into your url :

$('#league').typeahead({
remote: {
    url: '/typeahead/get_league?query=%QUERY',
    replace: function () {
        var q = '/typeahead/get_league?query=' + $('#league').val();
        if ($('#sport').val()) {
            q += "&sport=" + encodeURIComponent($('#sport').val());
        }
        return base_url + q;
    }
},
limit: 10

});
