YUI自动完成URL本地数据源

Question

I have an array that resides on the same domain as my html and I want to use the array as the source for an autocomplete textbox. Contents of myarr.json (1 MB):

["Aaronsburg, PA", "Abanda, AL", "Abbeville, AL", "Abbeville, GA" ... ]

I am using YUI2: AutoComplete and it works if I embed (a portion of) the array like this:

var myDataSource = 
    new YAHOO.util.LocalDataSource(["Aaronsburg, PA", "Abanda, AL"]);

but my array is huge so I must link to it. When I do that:

var myDataSource = 
    new YAHOO.util.LocalDataSource("http://mydomain.com/myarr.json");

the console responds: GET http://mydomain.com/myarr.json/search/aarons/other/data 404 (Not Found)

How do I turn my array into json that can respond to the /search component of that GET statement?

Answer 1

If you want to "link" to it, you should just use the Remote Datasource .

The Examples go through how to Customize your datasource parsing.

YUI has very extensive documentation on all of this.

[Edit]

In response to your comment, see the Datasource Docs

Mainly under "Simple JavaScript Array",

myDataSource.responseSchema = {
    fields: ["name"]
};
