Answer 1

Use the rest server class for this,

Download it from Codeigniter-restserver Read this for how to use it

And call your api from jquery like,

$( "#autiId" ).autocomplete({
   source: "http://0.0.0.0/XHost/api/General/0123456789",
   minLength: 2,
   select: function( event, ui ) {
      alert("Selected: " + ui.item.value + " id " + ui.item.id : "Nothing selected, input was " + this.value );
   }
});

If your emp id is dynamic then append by getting this like,

var id=0123456789;

and source like,

source:"http://0.0.0.0/XHost/api/General/"+id
