Jquery-tokeninput String parameter

Just started using token-input, and i didn't manage to make it work the way I wanted. Let me explain :

I was given a String var in javascript, containing data, like token-input local data:

var str='[{id : 1, name : "ADM" },
{id : 2, name : "JCH" },
{id : 3, name : "CGD" }]';

However, I couldn't give a str as a parameter to tokeninput, like this:

$("#input").tokenInput(str, {preventDuplicates : true});

It gives me what I think is error code 500.

Error probably comes with the quote returned by the str var. Problem is I need to use this var, it's kinda imposed.

Any ideas?

Solution

  • What you should do is

    $("#input").tokenInput(JSON.parse(str), {preventDuplicates : true});
