Usage

Cupidon Autocompleter ensure the user selects a value that comes from your source list.

Empty input

<input id="input1" type="text" value="">

// The source is *required*
$('#input1').cupidon({
  source: [{label: "Ruby", value: 1}, {label: "Python", value: 3}]
});
// Source could also be a URL, or any valid jQuery UI Autocompleter source
$('#input1').cupidon({ source: '/cupidon-find-me-a-lover' });

Pre-filled input

<input id="input2" type="text" data-ac-token="Ninja" value="1337">

$('#input1').cupidon({ source: '/cupidon-find-me-a-lover' });

See the demos for more usage information.

Features

Basically mimicks the behaviour of a select tag with an arbitrary source (URL or fixed JSON dataset):

• Does not accept values that are not in the source,
• Shows the selected value at load without any additionnal HTTP request,
• Supports key-value pairs (just like select tags).
• Tested (here)

Options

• changeText: specify the text to use for the edit link
