appt-typeahead

This is an unmaintained fork of Core JS's fork of Twitter's (unmaintained) autocomplete search library, typeahead.js.

The reason for this fork is that while corejs-typeahead has accepted some pull requests to fix longstanding bugs in typeahead.js, they haven't built and released a new version. This package provides an easily bower install-able version with those fixes.

The typeahead.js library consists of 2 components: the suggestion engine, Bloodhound, and the UI view, Typeahead. The suggestion engine is responsible for computing suggestions for a given query. The UI view is responsible for rendering suggestions and handling DOM interactions. Both components can be used separately, but when used together, they can provide a rich typeahead experience.

Getting Started

How you acquire typeahead.js is up to you:

• Install with Bower: $ bower install appt-typeahead

• Install with npm: $ npm install appt-typeahead

• Download zipball of latest release

• Download the latest dist files individually:

  • bloodhound.js (standalone suggestion engine)
  • typeahead.jquery.js (standalone UI view)
  • typeahead.bundle.js (bloodhound.js + typeahead.jquery.js)
  • typeahead.bundle.min.js

Note: both bloodhound.js and typeahead.jquery.js have a dependency on jQuery 1.9+.
