This is a contact-/anything-picker based on Mike Brevoort's excellent jquery-facebook-multi-friend-selector.

There is a demo at http://jquery-thingy-picker.herokuapp.com/.

Documentation is at http://jquery-thingy-picker.herokuapp.com/docs/.

See the example/index.html for examples.

Before all, include the css/less and coffeescript/js files in your HTML.

Call $(selector).thingyPicker({items: items}) on a dom-node. The items must be an array in the format {id: ..., name: ..., picture: ...}

{
    items: [{id: 1, name: "test", picture: "http://domain.com/pic.png"}]
    debug: true,
    maxSelected: -1,
    preSelectedItems: [],
    excludeItems: [],
    itemToHtml: function(){},
    sorter: function(){},
    isItemFiltered: function(){},
    labels: {} // see jquery-thingy-picker.js
}
