How to get added token id, name list from the jquery-tokeninput plugin via Javascript?

How can I get the id, name value pairs of the tokens (entered by a user) via Javascript from the jquery-tokeninput plugin found here? https://github.com/loopj/jquery-tokeninput

Is it just me or isnt it surprising that this plugin has a lot of features except a straight forward getEnteredTokens() method?

Thanks in advance.

Solution

  • I know this is kind of late coming, but have you tried: 

    selector.tokenInput("get");

    for example:

    var selectedValues = $('#myinputbox').tokenInput("get");

    (where selector is whatever jQuery selector you need to return the tokeninput input object) It returns all of the currently selected id/name values in an object.
