copied!<p>I try for two days and finally I could it working. Bootstrap Typeahead doesn't support an array of objects as a result by default, only an array of string. Because "matcher", "sorter", "updater" and "highlighter" functions expect strings as parameter.</p> <p>Instead, "Bootstrap" supports customizable "matcher", "sorter", "updater" and "highlighter" functions. So we can rewrite those functions in Typeahead options.</p> <p>II used Json format, and bound the Id to a hidden html input.</p> <p>The code:</p> <pre><code>$('#myTypeahead').typeahead({ source: function (query, process) { return $.ajax({ url: $('#myTypeahead').data('link'), type: 'post', data: { query: query }, dataType: 'json', success: function (result) { var resultList = result.map(function (item) { var aItem = { id: item.Id, name: item.Name }; return JSON.stringify(aItem); }); return process(resultList); } }); }, matcher: function (obj) { var item = JSON.parse(obj); return ~item.name.toLowerCase().indexOf(this.query.toLowerCase()) }, sorter: function (items) { var beginswith = [], caseSensitive = [], caseInsensitive = [], item; while (aItem = items.shift()) { var item = JSON.parse(aItem); if (!item.name.toLowerCase().indexOf(this.query.toLowerCase())) beginswith.push(JSON.stringify(item)); else if (~item.name.indexOf(this.query)) caseSensitive.push(JSON.stringify(item)); else caseInsensitive.push(JSON.stringify(item)); } return beginswith.concat(caseSensitive, caseInsensitive) }, highlighter: function (obj) { var item = JSON.parse(obj); var query = this.query.replace(/[\-\[\]{}()*+?.,\\\^$|#\s]/g, '\\$&') return item.name.replace(new RegExp('(' + query + ')', 'ig'), function ($1, match) { return '<strong>' + match + '</strong>' }) }, updater: function (obj) { var item = JSON.parse(obj); $('#IdControl').attr('value', item.id); return item.name; } }); </code></pre>
