Motivation

--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
There are many Django apps related to auto-completion why create another? One problem
|
|
was varying support for the `jQuery UI auto-complete plugin <http://jqueryui.com/demos/autocomplete/>`_
|
|
versus the now deprecated `bassistance version <http://bassistance.de/jquery-plugins/jquery-plugin-autocomplete/>`_.
|
|
Another was support for combo-boxes and multiple selects. And lastly was a simple syntax for
|
|
defining the related backend views for the auto-completion.
|
|
|
|
This library aims to meet all of these goals:
|
|
- Built on jQuery UI auto-complete
|
|
- Fields and widgets for a variety of use-cases:
|
|
- Text inputs and combo-boxes
|
|
- Text selection
|
|
- Value/ID/Foreign key selection
|
|
- Multiple object selection
|
|
- Allowing new values
|
|
- Simple and extendable syntax for defining backend views
|

Much of the work here was inspired by things that I like (and things I don't like) about
|
|
`django-ajax-selects <http://code.google.com/p/django-ajax-selects/>`_. To see some of the
|
|
other Django apps for handling auto-completion see `Django-Packages <http://djangopackages.com/grids/g/auto-complete/>`_.
