Typeahead inside Bootbox

I can't initialize Bootstrap Typeahead inside Bootbox. I was trying to set z-index, but maybe I did it in a wrong way.

Here is basic example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Title</title>

    <!-- Bootstrap -->
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://maxcdn.bootstrapcdn.com/bootstrap/3.3.7/css/bootstrap.min.css">

</head>
<body>

<a href="#bootbox" onclick="show_bootbox()" class="btn btn-lg btn-danger">Show Bootbox</a>

<script>
    
    function show_bootbox() {

        var form = $('<div id="the-basics">' +
                '<input class="typeahead" type="text" placeholder="States of USA">' +
                '</div>');

        bootbox.dialog({
            message: form,
            title: "Example",
            buttons: {
                success: {
                    label: "Ok",
                    className: "btn-success",
                    callback: function () {

                    }
                }
            }
        });

        var substringMatcher = function(strs) {
            return function findMatches(q, cb) {
                var matches, substringRegex;

                // an array that will be populated with substring matches
                matches = [];

                // regex used to determine if a string contains the substring `q`
                substrRegex = new RegExp(q, 'i');

                // iterate through the pool of strings and for any string that
                // contains the substring `q`, add it to the `matches` array
                $.each(strs, function(i, str) {
                    if (substrRegex.test(str)) {
                        matches.push(str);
                    }
                });

                cb(matches);
            };
        };

        var states = ['Alabama', 'Alaska', 'Arizona', 'Arkansas', 'California',
            'Colorado', 'Connecticut', 'Delaware', 'Florida', 'Georgia', 'Hawaii',
            'Idaho', 'Illinois', 'Indiana', 'Iowa', 'Kansas', 'Kentucky', 'Louisiana',
            'Maine', 'Maryland', 'Massachusetts', 'Michigan', 'Minnesota',
            'Mississippi', 'Missouri', 'Montana', 'Nebraska', 'Nevada', 'New Hampshire',
            'New Jersey', 'New Mexico', 'New York', 'North Carolina', 'North Dakota',
            'Ohio', 'Oklahoma', 'Oregon', 'Pennsylvania', 'Rhode Island',
            'South Carolina', 'South Dakota', 'Tennessee', 'Texas', 'Utah', 'Vermont',
            'Virginia', 'Washington', 'West Virginia', 'Wisconsin', 'Wyoming'
        ];

        $('#the-basics .typeahead').typeahead({
                    hint: true,
                    highlight: true,
                    minLength: 1
                },
                {
                    name: 'states',
                    source: substringMatcher(states)
                });

    }

</script>

Solution

  • The only problem i see (if you do not use other libraries) is:

    {
   name: 'states',
   source: substringMatcher(states)
}

    Remove this line and add the source to the typehead options:

    $('#the-basics .typeahead').typeahead({
    hint: true,
    highlight: true,
    minLength: 1,
    source: substringMatcher(states)
});

    The snippet:

    function show_bootbox() {

  var form = $('<div id="the-basics">' +
               '<input class="typeahead" type="text" placeholder="States of USA">' +
               '</div>');

  bootbox.dialog({
    message: form,
    title: "Example",
    buttons: {
      success: {
        label: "Ok",
        className: "btn-success",
        callback: function () {

        }
      }
    }
  });

  var states = ['Alabama', 'Alaska', 'Arizona', 'Arkansas', 'California',
                'Colorado', 'Connecticut', 'Delaware', 'Florida', 'Georgia', 'Hawaii',
                'Idaho', 'Illinois', 'Indiana', 'Iowa', 'Kansas', 'Kentucky', 'Louisiana',
                'Maine', 'Maryland', 'Massachusetts', 'Michigan', 'Minnesota',
                'Mississippi', 'Missouri', 'Montana', 'Nebraska', 'Nevada', 'New Hampshire',
                'New Jersey', 'New Mexico', 'New York', 'North Carolina', 'North Dakota',
                'Ohio', 'Oklahoma', 'Oregon', 'Pennsylvania', 'Rhode Island',
                'South Carolina', 'South Dakota', 'Tennessee', 'Texas', 'Utah', 'Vermont',
                'Virginia', 'Washington', 'West Virginia', 'Wisconsin', 'Wyoming'
               ];

  var substringMatcher = function (strs) {
    return function findMatches(q, cb) {
      var matches, substringRegex;

      // an array that will be populated with substring matches
      matches = [];

      // regex used to determine if a string contains the substring `q`
      substrRegex = new RegExp(q, 'i');

      // iterate through the pool of strings and for any string that
      // contains the substring `q`, add it to the `matches` array
      $.each(strs, function (i, str) {
        if (substrRegex.test(str)) {
          matches.push(str);
        }
      });

      cb(matches);
    };
  };

  $('#the-basics .typeahead').typeahead({
    hint: true,
    highlight: true,
    minLength: 1,
    source: substringMatcher(states)
  });
}
