I am trying to make a autocomplete form like below but the form do not show the suggestion as my database query is ok.
Form cole:
Controller method code:
Routes:
When I search on the link I get the query result like this:
Shows the result:
[{"id":1,"value":"sourav hossen"},{"id":2,"value":"sourav hossen"},{"id":3,"value":"sourav hossen"},{"id":4,"value":"a b"},{"id":5,"value":"a a"}]
Try this change, some time will work.
source: "{{URL::route('autocomplete')}}",
I tried to do it with jquery ajax and it worked.
First of all you should include a jquery library before the following code.
The javascript code in your view should be:
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$('#q').keyup(function () {
var q=$(this).val();
if(word.length>3) {
$.ajax
({
type: "GET",
url: "test2",
data: {q:q},
contentType: "json",
cache: false,
success: function(data, status, xhr)
{
$('#q').val(data[0].value);
}
});
}
});
});
</script>
In your controller you should get the ajax data
public function autocomplete(Request $request)
{
$input = $request->all();
$term = $input['q'];
$result = array();
$queries = ...(do whatever you like)
->take(5)->get();
foreach($queries as $query)
{
$result[] = ['id'=> $query->id,'value'=>$query->firstname.' '.$query->lastname];
}
return response()->json($result);
}
Try this and if you find any difficulty, i'll be here.
