Question about using Autocomplete Widget

in Using jQuery UI • 10 years ago

Hi,

I'm trying to configure the jQuery UI Autocomplete widget to send the 'id' attribute value to my controller instead of the 'value' attribute value (see below).

My code snippet is follows:

$('#companyId').autocomplete({
source: '${g.createLink(action: 'autocompleteSearch')}',
minLength: 2
});

My source JSON look like the this:

[{"id":1,"value":"Company A"},{"id":327,"value":"Company B"},{"id":2036,"value":"Company C"},{"id":2142,"value":"Company D"}]

I'm sure this is dead simple to configure but I'm new to jQuery UI so any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Its not clear (to me anyway) what he means by "send to the controller", but you can work with each element in JSON by calling them by their name. Here's an example in a select: option statement. It can be done in other options as well.

            select: function (event, ui) {
                $(this).val(ui.item.value);
                $("#hiddenState").val(ui.item.id);
            },

Hope that helps.
