enhance the UI for selecting an URI resource: use completion about semantic_forms HOT 9 CLOSED

The label associated to each URI is shown by a HTML tag.

Select2 is probably a good option.

You mean http://select2.github.io/ ?

from semantic_forms.

Yes, I guess it covers the need.

I guess Select2 could also be used for #2 ; see here :
https://github.com/jmvanel/semantic_forms/blob/master/scala/forms_play/public/javascripts/wikipedia.js#L22
( TODO populate pulldown menu )

from semantic_forms.

Wouldn't a short piece of plain JavaScript do the job of showing and complete on label, and sending URI to form ? see :

from semantic_forms.

Yes but it would be simpler and better made with Select2

from semantic_forms.

Currently it works with a an <input> tag and and the <datalist is updated by wikipedia.js ,
but the pulldown menu is not automatically shown .

from semantic_forms.

The /lookup service, with the completion widget in
forms_play/public/javascripts/wikipedia.js

should be used as the preferred alternative to the <select> HTML tag used currently .
