I am using the Facebook Graph API to return a list of Facebook friends. I then want to run the returned JSON into Typeahead.js as follows:
$(document).ready(function () {
$('input.friends').typeahead({
name: 'friends',
prefetch: 'https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=<?php echo $access_token;?>',
ttl: 0,
template: [
'<p class="name-tag">{{name}}</p>'
].join(''),
engine: Hogan
});
});
My corresponding HTML is as follows:
<input class="friends typeahead" type="text" placeholder="Start typing" id="friends">
But nothing is being returned using the prefetch (with hardcoded, local values, no problem). I am not seeing any errors in the console regarding cross-domain issues.
I am fairly sure this is because Typeahead hasn't been told how to handle the JSON structure, but I am unsure how to achieve this. I have tried implementing the templating system Hogan (which I will admit to being unfamiliar with) but this has not helped.
Any ideas much appreciated.
Many thanks
Solution below. Remember to include Hogan if you're using that as your templating engine, as I have done:
$.get('https://graph.facebook.com/me/friends?access_token=<?php echo $access_token;?>', function(server_data){
var rt = {};
for (var i in server_data.data)
rt[server_data.data[i].id] = {name:server_data.data[i].name, id:server_data.data[i].id},
//rt.push({name:server_data.data[i].name})
console.log(rt)
$('input.friends').typeahead({
limit: 10,
name: 'friends',
valueKey: 'name',
local:rt,
template: [
'{{id}}',
].join(''),
engine: Hogan
});
})
