Well... Nearly works, BUT.
# In template
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#addblack").autocomplete('[%
c.uri_for('/userinfo','complete_user', 'blacklist') %]');
});
# In controller
sub complete_user : Local : Args(1) {
my ($self, $c, $mode) = @_;
my $name = $c->req->param('term');
if ($name gt '') {
my $names;
if ($mode eq 'blacklist') {
$c->log->info('Autocompleting blacklist '.$name);
$names = $c->model('Db::Account')->search({ login => { ILIKE =>
$name.'%' } },
{ columns =>
[qw/login/], limit => 10, order_by => [qw/login/]});
$c->log->info($names->count().' found');
$c->stash->{entity} = [ map { { label => $_->login } }
$names->all() ];
} else {
die "Wrong mode $mode";
}
$c->stash->{term} = $name;
}
$c->forward('View::JSON');
}
It requests data; it receives data. Autocompletion does not work.
In http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/, there is NOTHING at all (I
really do hate them) about suggestions format expected by jQueryUI
autocomplete.
I've tried every combitation I've managed to invent, but no success.
