I am using this autocomplete plugin called FCBKcomplete and its works as charm. My only problem and concern is, apparently (that is how I think) when ever I enter a char in the input to get the result in the drop down, all the result will be returned as a JSON response and then that response will be searched to display my results on drop down.
in other word, say the following is my url:
http://this.com/usersAPI.do
The search query will be something like:
select * from user_table
When the request gets sent to this url all the results will be back and the size is not small at all.
what I am looking for is way that I can search for those chars that I enter in the input field. so a url like this:
http://this.com/usersAPI.do?name=?
so that the query executed is something like
select * from user_table where name like xxx
xxx is the chars I have entered so far. so is the next char I enter is y the query changes to
select * from user_table where name like xxxy
and so on
This is result in a lighter JSON response and less load on servers.
So please help me out thanks,
hi you can use something like this.
$( "#fieldId").autocomplete({
source:
function( request, response ) {
$.ajax({
url: "test.do",
data : {"searchText":request.term}
context: document.body
}).done(function() {
response( $.map( data.dropValues, function( item ) {
var returnObj = new Object();
returnObj['label'] = item.id + '--' + item.value;
}
});
},
minLength: 1,
mustMatch:true,
autoSelect :true,
delay:0,
}).data( "autocomplete" )._renderItem = function( ul, item ) {
var html = '<li><a>' + item.label;
html += '</a></li>';
return $(html).data('item.autocomplete', item).appendTo( ul );
};
