README

appt-typeahead

This is an unmaintained fork of Core JS's fork of Twitter's (unmaintained) autocomplete search library, typeahead.js.

The reason for this fork is that while corejs-typeahead has accepted some pull requests to fix longstanding bugs in typeahead.js, they haven't built and released a new version. This package provides an easily bower install-able version with those fixes.

The typeahead.js library consists of 2 components: the suggestion engine, Bloodhound, and the UI view, Typeahead. The suggestion engine is responsible for computing suggestions for a given query. The UI view is responsible for rendering suggestions and handling DOM interactions. Both components can be used separately, but when used together, they can provide a rich typeahead experience.

Getting Started

How you acquire typeahead.js is up to you:

Note: both bloodhound.js and typeahead.jquery.js have a dependency on jQuery 1.9+.

In order to build and test typeahead.js, you'll need to install its dev dependencies ($ npm install) and have grunt-cli installed ($ npm install -g grunt-cli). Below is an overview of the available Grunt tasks that'll be useful in development.

  • grunt build – Builds typeahead.js from source.
  • grunt lint – Runs source and test files through JSHint.
  • grunt watch – Rebuilds typeahead.js whenever a source file is modified.
  • grunt server – Serves files from the root of typeahead.js on localhost:8888. Useful for using test/playground.html for debugging/testing.
  • grunt dev – Runs grunt watch and grunt server in parallel.
