Bootstrap typeahead - How to set the default value manually

Question

I tried this:

$(\"#typeahead_object\").val(\"test\");

It only changes the textbox value but doesn\'t trigger the \'updater\' function

Answer 1

You could manually trigger a keyup event on the input element, after setting the value:

$("#typeahead_object").val('test').focus().trigger('keyup')
