How to use remote source with jquery ui combobox?

Question

There is combobox with autocomplete enabled. How to pass JSON data as source for this combobox?

Upd. I\'ve found partial answer here - it allows me

Answer 1

I just used next construction: 1. In combobox.js I put code from example that appears on https://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/#combobox and had changed _create & _createAutocomplete functions as follows:

 _create: function() {
        this.wrapper = $( "" )
            .addClass( "custom-combobox" )
            .insertAfter( this.element );

        var autocompleteSetup = this.options.autocompleteSetup;
        this.element.hide();
        this._createAutocomplete( autocompleteSetup );
        this._createShowAllButton();
    }

    _createAutocomplete: function(setupObject) {
...
this.input = $( "" )
            .appendTo( this.wrapper )
            .val( value )
            .attr( "title", "" )
            .addClass( "custom-combobox-input ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-state-default ui-corner-left" )
            .autocomplete(setupObject)...

2. From page code where I'm creating the combo I am calling the create code as follows:

   var options = { autocompleteSetup : { delay: 100, minLength: 2, source: "http://your/data/hook/url" } }; $( "#subzero" ).combobox(options);
