[SOLVED] Return all remote matches with typeahead without extra filtering

Return all remote matches with typeahead without extra filtering

Can't seem to figure out a way to disable filtering with typeahead. Basically I just need the autocomplete (or rather drop-down search hint) functionality of it. I am doing a zip code search and resulting postal codes don't necessarily match the queried ones. How do I make it show all matches without doing extra filtering on those again?

Below is the code I have:

var dealers = new Bloodhound({
    datumTokenizer: function (d) {
        return Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(d);
    },
    queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
    remote: {
        url: '/form/find-dealer?postalCode=',
        prepare: function (query, settings) {
            settings.url += encodeURIComponent(query);
            settings.type = 'POST';
            settings.contentType = "application/json; charset=UTF-8";
            return settings;
       }
    }
});

$('input[name=postalCode]').typeahead({
    minLength: 3
}, {
    name: 'dealers',
    display: function (data) {
        return data.title;
    },
    source: dealers.ttAdapter()
});

Note: I know it seems a bit awkward to do a zip code search that way, but the purpose of the designer was for users to search interchangeably by dealer name and zip code.

Solution

Not pretty, since the library has been forked and no longer oficially supported by the creator, but this fix did it for me https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js/pull/1212 . Basically when in remote mode, it returns all matches, which is actually the proper behavior as I see it.
