• Source control: GIT
• Depends on: parenscript, reblocks, reblocks-lass, reblocks-parenscript, reblocks-ui

You can install this library from Quicklisp, but you want to receive updates quickly, then install it from Ultralisp.org:

(ql-dist:install-dist "http://dist.ultralisp.org/"
                      :prompt nil)
(ql:quickload :reblocks-typeahead)

To use this library, you need to inherit your widget from reblocks-typeahead:typeahead-widget and to provide at least two methods:

• reblocks-typeahead:execute-query which will respond with data for dropdown
• reblocks-typeahead:on-select which will be executed when user has choosen an item from dropdown menu.

See this example application's code to learn how these methods can be implemented.
