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

As of typeahead.js 0.10.5, this works :

$('#typeahead_object').typeahead('val', 'some value').blur()
