I am trying to display autocomplete results for a list of managers. I have the following code:
Application.js
function log(message) {
$( "<div/>" ).text( message ).prependTo("#log");
}
$("#managers").autocomplete({
source : function(request, response) {
$.ajax({
url : "/managerlist",
dataType : "json",
data : {
style : "full",
maxRows : 12,
term : request.term
},
success : function(data) {
var results = [];
$.each(data, function(i, item) {
var itemToAdd = {
value : item,
label : item
};
results.push(itemToAdd);
});
return response(results);
}
});
}
});
Project controller
def manager_list
list=Project.all.map{|i|i.manager_user_id}
arr= [].concat(list.sort{|a,b| a[0]<=>b[0]}).to_json
render :json =>arr
end
Routes.rb
match '/managerlist' => 'projects#manager_user_id'
_form.html.erb
<p>
<%= f.label :manager_user_id %><br />
<input id="managers" />
</p>
The following code is fine, I don't recieve no errors in firebug. However when I try to enter a managers name for example James Johnson the name won't appear. I have also tried putting the whole function in the _form.html.erb and wrapped it in tags this didn't work. Is there any idea why this is happening
So I've managed to fix my error, which was because of the ordering of Jquery core and Jquery ui.
I've got the managers to be listed. In the image below.
From the image it can be seen that when I type 'Arm' it brings the entire list of managers, when it should display 'Deshawn Armstrong'. I understand that this is most probably to do with my project controller below
Project controller
def manager_list
list=Project.all.map{|i|i.manager_user_id}
arr= [].concat(list.sort{|a,b| a[0]<=>b[0]}).to_json
render :json =>arr
end
