How can I populate materialize.css chips autocomplete data?

Question

There is an example with pre-written values:

$('.chips-autocomplete').material_chip({
    autocompleteData: {
      'Apple': null,
      'Microsoft': null,
      'Google': null
    }
  });

But I need to populate values dynamically from array which contains several string values. I tried something like this, but it doesn't work.

my_data = $.parseJSON(data);                        

$('.chips-autocomplete').material_chip({
    autocompleteData: {
        $.each(my_data, function(index, value) {
            value : null;                           
        });
    }                                                       
});

Answer 1

You can create your object first before passing it in:

<div class="chips chips-autocomplete"></div>

var my_data = {
  "0":"Apple",
  "1":"Microsoft",
  "2":"Google"
}

var myConvertedData = {};

$.each(my_data, function(index, value) {
  myConvertedData[value] = null;
});

$('.chips-autocomplete').material_chip({
  autocompleteData: myConvertedData
});
