jQuery UI Autocomplete - get data from txt file

Question

I\'m jQuery beginner trying to make jQuery UI Autocomplete get data from txt file. Txt format is simple:

user1
user2
user3
etc.

Answer 1

From the documentation:

Source
An Array of Strings:
[ "Choice1", "Choice2" ]

An Array of Objects with label and value properties:
[ { label: "Choice1", value: "value1" }, ... ]

You need to amend your text file to be in this format:

["user1","user2","user3"]

Then change your jQuery to this:

$( "#userLogin" ).autocomplete({
    source: 'users.txt'
});
