Bootstrap Typeahead local, prefetch, or remote is required

Question

I try to get this example of twitters typeahead to run but i am getting the error in chromes console:

Uncaught Error: one of local, prefetch, or remote is required jquery-1.9.1.js:507

I am using typeayhead 0.9.1 (Nuget-Package). Is this a version problem? All examples set the source and not local/prefetch/remote in the request.

EDIT: Turned out that Twitter Bootstrap Typeahead and Twitter Typeahead are two different libraries.

Solution

This only means you need to give a list in which Typeahead will search for completion value.

You must really pass at least one data source (prefetch or remote) or a data set (local).

Also, should be noted that Twitter typeahead and Twitter Bootstrap typeahead ain't the same plugin. They have different API. The article you read speak about Twitter Bootstrap typeahead: http://twitter.github.io/bootstrap/javascript.html#typeahead but you used it as Twitter typeahead!

no? look at the example. Nearly in all examples i find the source attribute is set and not local/prefetch/remote

Oh, I see what the problem is. Twitter Typeahead and Twitter Bootstrap typeahead ain't the same plugin. They have different API. The article you read speak about twitter bootstrap typeahead: twitter.github.io/bootstrap/javascript.html#typeahead
