CoffeeScript Question
typeahead.bundle.js how to start searching by pressing ENTER on the dropdown suggestions?
I managed to make it do the search by clicking on the DropDown suggestions. But it does not respond when I press ENTER.
app/assets/javascripts/custom.coffee
$ ->
movies = new Bloodhound({
datumTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
remote: {
url: '/movies/autocomplete?query=%QUERY',
wildcard: '%QUERY'
}
});
$('#query').typeahead(null, {
source: movies
});
$('.tt-menu').on 'click', ->
$('#search_form').submit()
$('.tt-menu').on 'keypress', (e) ->
if (e.which == 13)
$('#search_form').submit()
Any help would be really appreciated!

I have looked into the javascript file typeahead.bundle.js.
_onEnterKeyed: function onEnterKeyed(type, $e) {
var $selectable;
if ($selectable = this.menu.getActiveSelectable()) {
this.select($selectable) && $e.preventDefault();
}
}
$e.preventDefault() have stop ENTER to trigger keypress event in custom.coffee. After removing it removing $e.preventDefault() I can select the suggestion from the dropdown list and make it search instantly. So the code should look like this:
_onEnterKeyed: function onEnterKeyed(type, $e) {
var $selectable;
if ($selectable = this.menu.getActiveSelectable()) {
this.select($selectable);
}
}
Also I have to remove the code below completely:
$('.tt-menu').on 'keypress', (e) ->
if (e.which == 13)
$('#search_form').submit()
Now Everything works as expected.
