Adding function autocomplete to rails app in JavaScript Posted March 1, 2019 I I found your autocomplete function and it is about as simple and complete than I've seen I tried to installed it in the rails asset pipe line. I did convert it to coffee script, but I had to hack it get it running on a test page Just adding at the end of the page were I was going to test it didn't work. autocomplete(document.getElementById("myInput"), countries); It ruturned couldn't find autocomple The hack was to put autocomplete in the pipeline under jquery jQuery -> $("#startem").on "load", -> inp = document.getElementById("myInput") autocomplete(inp,entries) autocomplete = (inp, arr) -> ..... Then put on the test page #startem javascript: $(function() { $('#startem').trigger('load'); }); The hack works, but I'm sure there is a better way. My Javascript knowledge if not that great. Since it looks fairly reusable (I may have a few places I'd like to use it) I'm looking for suggestions on a corrent way. Steve

I found your autocomplete function and it is about as simple and complete than I've seen
I tried to installed it in the rails asset pipe line. I did convert it to coffee script, but I had to hack it get it running on a test page
Just adding at the end of the page were I was going to test it didn't work.
autocomplete(document.getElementById("myInput"), countries);
It ruturned couldn't find autocomple
The hack was to put autocomplete in the pipeline under jquery
jQuery ->
$("#startem").on "load", ->
inp = document.getElementById("myInput")
autocomplete(inp,entries)
autocomplete = (inp, arr) -> .....
Then put on the test page
#startem
javascript:
$(function() {
$('#startem').trigger('load');
});
The hack works, but I'm sure there is a better way. My Javascript knowledge if not that great.
