Typeahead-multiselect extends the current functionality of Twitter Typeahead to allow multiple selections.

You can use Typeahead-multiselect using the same signature as Typeahead. See it live

<div id="typeaheadmulti">
  <input class="typeahead" type="text" placeholder="Search Languages">
</div>

var language = new Bloodhound({
  datumTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
  queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
  local: ["English", "Arabic", "Japanese"]
});

$('#typeaheadmulti .typeahead').typeaheadmulti({
  hint: true,
  highlight: true,
  minLength: 1
},
{
  name: 'language',
  source: language
});

All typeahead.js options are valid. In addition:

selectionsContainer: A Jquery-valid selector for the container where the selections will be added.

Templates should either be a string of a function that returns a string to be rendered. Handlebar temaplates are not supported.

emptySelection: Will be used to fill the container when no selections are selected. selection: Should be a function that takes the selected object and returns a html string.

selectionAdded and selectionRemoved are fired after a selection is added or removed from the selection container.

You can use the styles accompanied with the package typeahead-multiselect.css.min, which provides styling for the suggestion container. Selection container and selections are classed as list-group and list-group-item for bootrap compatiblity. If you want to use Boostrap for styling, make sure to include typeaheadjs.css.

These are the current limitations for typeaheadmulti. All these limitations can be easily supported (the souce code is marked with TODOs). Contributions through pull requests all very welcome.

• No support for multiple datasets.
• Setting the selections programmatically by $.typehead('val', someVal)
