Tokenizer
The tokenizer parameter is a shortcut to defined the tokenizer of the Bloodhound object. The function should have the following parameters and returns
/**
* Tokenize a query string into readable data for Bloodhound
*
* @param {string} query The query string typed in the input of typeahead
* @return {Array} A list of string
*
*/
function tokenizer(query) {
return query.split(" ");
}
eg : You can use this ctsTypeahead param to automatically filter on language for example :
/**
* Tokenize a query string into readable data for Bloodhound and accept only given language
*
* @param {string} query The query string typed in the input of typeahead
* @return {Array} A list of string
*
*/
function tokenizer(query) {
query = Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(query);
query.push("lang:grc");
return query;
}
CSS custom classes
Because so many plugins force you to dig the code or extend your already existing CSS classes, we thought it might be cool to give you the availability to add your own classes to all the generated DOM elements !. To do so, when passing your option
object to the constructor, add the css
dictionary, where keys are identifier described below and value a list of classes (WITHOUT THE DOT).
| Identifier | Automatic class | Description
|---------------------------|--------------------------------------|--------------
| container | ["cts-selector"]
| Container for all the generated DOM
| retrieve-button | ["cts-selector-retriever"]
| <button />
used to retrieve passage
| retrieve-button-container | []
| <div />
containing previous button
| | |
| citation | ["cts-selector-citation"]
| <div />
containing beginning or end passage selection's containers
| citation-container | ["cts-selector-passage-container"]
| <div />
containing beginning or end passage selection's inputs
| citation-container-legend | ["cts-selector-passage-label"]
| <span />
for the given div containing identifier for beginning or end
| citation-input | ["cts-selector-passage-number"]
