2 * This plugin provides a generic way to add suggestions to a text box.
7 * $( '#textbox' ).suggestions( { option1: value1, option2: value2 } );
8 * $( '#textbox' ).suggestions( option, value );
10 * value = $( '#textbox' ).suggestions( option );
12 * $( '#textbox' ).suggestions();
16 * fetch(query): Callback that should fetch suggestions and set the suggestions property.
17 * Executed in the context of the textbox
19 * cancel: Callback function to call when any pending asynchronous suggestions fetches
20 * should be canceled. Executed in the context of the textbox
22 * special: Set of callbacks for rendering and selecting
23 * Type: Object of Functions 'render' and 'select'
24 * result: Set of callbacks for rendering and selecting
25 * Type: Object of Functions 'render' and 'select'
26 * $region: jQuery selection of element to place the suggestions below and match width of
27 * Type: jQuery Object, Default: $(this)
28 * suggestions: Suggestions to display
29 * Type: Array of strings
30 * maxRows: Maximum number of suggestions to display at one time
31 * Type: Number, Range: 1 - 100, Default: 7
32 * delay: Number of ms to wait for the user to stop typing
33 * Type: Number, Range: 0 - 1200, Default: 120
34 * submitOnClick: Whether to submit the form containing the textbox when a suggestion is clicked
35 * Type: Boolean, Default: false
36 * maxExpandFactor: Maximum suggestions box width relative to the textbox width. If set
37 * to e.g. 2, the suggestions box will never be grown beyond 2 times the width of the textbox.
38 * Type: Number, Range: 1 - infinity, Default: 3
39 * expandFrom: Which direction to offset the suggestion box from.
40 * Values 'start' and 'end' translate to left and right respectively depending on the
41 * directionality of the current document, according to $( 'html' ).css( 'direction' ).
42 * Type: String, default: 'auto', options: 'left', 'right', 'start', 'end', 'auto'.
43 * positionFromLeft: Sets expandFrom=left, for backwards compatibility
44 * Type: Boolean, Default: true
45 * highlightInput: Whether to hightlight matched portions of the input or not
46 * Type: Boolean, Default: false
52 * Cancel any delayed updateSuggestions() call and inform the user so
53 * they can cancel their result fetching if they use AJAX or something

57 clearTimeout( context.data.timerID );
59 if ( $.isFunction( context.config.cancel ) ) {
60 context.config.cancel.call( context.data.$textbox );
65 * Restore the text the user originally typed in the textbox, before it
66 * was overwritten by highlight(). This restores the value the currently
67 * displayed suggestions are based on, rather than the value just before
68 * highlight() overwrote it; the former is arguably slightly more sensible.
70 restore: function ( context ) {
71 context.data.$textbox.val( context.data.prevText );
75 * Ask the user-specified callback for new suggestions. Any previous delayed
76 * call to this function still pending will be canceled. If the value in the
77 * textbox is empty or hasn't changed since the last time suggestions were fetched,
78 * this function does nothing.
79 * @param {Boolean} delayed Whether or not to delay this by the currently configured amount of time
