Introduction
-

Turn a text input into a Facebook-style multiple-tag input. Features include:

* Load data from a JavaScript array, object, json url, or jsonp url
* Lots of options
* Populates original input with chosen tags but also creates hidden inputs with ids and tag text
* Has methods to add a tag programmatically (e.g. user chooses a popular tag)
* CSS is easy to extend and customize
* CSS uses em units so that you can easily size the widget however you like
* You can subscribe to any of 20+ events that allow you to inject custom functionality into nearly every action
* You can define your own HTML structure for the widget output
* Object-oriented structure makes it easy to extend
* Unit tested - [Unit tests](http://sandbox.kendsnyder.com/jQuery-Suggester/test/index.html) 
* Works on IE8+, FF, Chrome, Safari
* 5kb minimized and gzipped
* Compatible with AMD

How to Use
-

Suggester is compatible with jQuery 1.5+ and has been unit tested with jQuery 1.9. Download the files in [Suggester-1.4.0-Download.zip](https://github.com/kensnyder/jQuery-Suggester/blob/master/Suggester-1.4.0-Download.zip?raw=true) and copy them to your scripts directory. Include them in your document's after jQuery is included:

```html
<script src="/js/Suggester.min.js"></script>
<link href="/js/Suggester.min.css" rel="stylesheet" />
```

Then somewhere in your code, call:

```javascript
var instance = new $.Suggester(selector, options);
// OR
$(selector).suggester(options);
```

See the documentation below for a full list of options.

Default value for **template** option:

```html
<div class="sugg-widget"> 
	<ul class="sugg-box"> 
		<li class="sugg-box-item sugg-tag"> 
			TAG TEXT GOES HERE&times; 
		</li> 
		<li class="sugg-box-item sugg-input-wrapper"> 
			<input type="text" class="sugg-input" value="" /> 
		</li> 
	</ul> 
	<div class="sugg-list-wrapper"> 
		<ul class="sugg-list" style="display:none"> 
			<li class="sugg-item {record.cssClass}">{record.value}</li> 
			<li class="sugg-empty"></li> 
			<li class="sugg-prompt"></li> 
		</ul> 
	</div> 
</div>
```

Also note that default options can be overwritten by altering `$.Suggester.defaultOptions`.

Events
-

Events can be passed as options to the constructor, or can be added later using jQuery event methods `.on()`, `.off()`, `.bind()` `.one()`, `.unbind()` and `.trigger()`

For example:

```javascript
// Register events in initial options
$(input).suggester({
	data: myData,
	onBeforeOpen: doStuff
});
// Register events later (OOP style)
var instance = new $.Suggester(selector, {
	data: myData
});
instance.on('BeforeOpen', doStuff);
// Register events later (jQuery style)
$(input).suggester({
	data: myData
}).suggester('on', 'BeforeOpen', doStuff);
```

How is data passed to event callbacks?

* Each event callback receives one argument: `event`
* `event` is a jQuery event object
* `event` also contains useful information related to the event. See the [Events](#events) section below for more information.
* When an event has a default action that can be prevented, `event` will have property `cancelable` set to true and `event.isCancelable()` will return true
* To prevent a default action, call `event.preventDefault()`
* To cancel the firing of other attached callbacks, call `event.stopImmediatePropagation()`
* In some case, altering information on the `event` object will change the behavior of the default action
* The callback will be fired in the scope of the Suggester instance. In other words, using `this` in the callback will refer to the Suggester instance. See the [Instance Properties](#instance-properties) and [Instance Methods](#instance-methods) sections below for more information.

The following is a description of each event.

Instance Methods
-

Instance methods may be called using an Object Oriented style or with the classic jQuery style:

```javascript
// Object Oriented Style
var suggester = new $.Suggester(input, options);
suggester.methodName(arg1, arg2, argN);

// jQuery Style
$(input).suggester(options);
$(input).suggester('methodName', arg1, arg2, argN);

// jQuery Style followed by Object Oriented Style
$(input).suggester(options);
var instance = $(input).suggester('getInstance');
instance.methodName(arg1, arg2, argN);
```

More examples
-

Use an array of strings for suggestions:

```javascript
$('.my-text-input').suggester({
    data: ['Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday','Sunday'],
    prompt: 'Enter a day of the week'
});
```

Use ajax to get suggestions:

```javascript
$('.my-text-input').suggester({
    dataUrl: 'http://example.com/myjson?query=%s',
    prompt: 'Enter a time zone'
});
```

Use the OOP pattern and use an array of objects for `data`:

```javascript
var suggester = new $.Suggester('.my-text-input', {
	data: [{"label":"John Doe","value":"John Doe <John.Doe@example.com>"}/*,...*/],
 onAfterSave: function(event) {
 saveToServer(event.newValue);
 }
});
suggester.on('AfterClose', doStuff);
suggester.focus();
```
