I haven't seen any documentation from this..
If I have
<%= best_in_place @user, :city, type=> :input, %>
I need to include the data-provide="typeahead"
<%= best_in_place @user, :city, type=> :input,:data => {:provide => "typeahead"} %>
and to include the source
<%= best_in_place @user, :city, :type=> :input, :data => {:provide => "typeahead", :source => City.getcities.to_json} %>
assume City.getcities.to_json
returns a proper json list with city names
This doesn't work...
With the :data
option you can set the data-
attibutes on the generated span
and not on the input
itself.
If you want to add attributes on the generated input
element you need to use the :html_attrs
options:
<%= best_in_place @user, :city, :type=> :input,
:html_attrs => {:'data-provide' => "typeahead",
:'data-source' => City.getcities.to_json} %>
However - as @Nick Ginanto pointed out - the typeahead selection only works with using the keyboard and not with the mouse (maybe because of a bug in bootstrap or because there is no official support in best in place for bootstrap)
But the following code snippet seems to solve this issue:
$('ul.typeahead').live('mousedown', function(e) { e.preventDefault(); });
