问题
I am pretty new in JS and in jQuery. In my work I came across a jQuery code from the jQuery UI Autocomplete widget that I do not fully understand. I have a two questions about this code which are separated into several posts (As recommended in that meta post). Also, sorry if my English is horrible, I'm doing my best. :)
Here is the code: http://pastebin.com/NyG48Yb9
What I DO understand:
- The
autocompletefunction operates on someinput, in our case - the#searchBox. The function get as parameter an object that represents the behavior of the list when the user types into the#searchBox. - The object has a key named
sourcewhich describes the resource that provides the list.
What I DO NOT understand #2:
The value of the source key, in this case - is a callback function that according to the jQuery UI Autocomplete API Documentation, is:
The third variation, a callback, provides the most flexibility and can be used to connect any data source to Autocomplete.
My question
What kind of data source is included in "any data source"? string, Array, Object? A remote resource that provides a JSON using Ajax? Other? Can you give me an example?
Thank you very much. :)
My other question: In jQuery UI Autocomplete, where does the `response` function is implemented?
