Use custom transport

[conradz]

Is there any way to use a custom transport for the queries? I need to use a custom function to get the requests (using AJAX, WebSockets, in-memory, or any other method).

Ideally I would be able to specify a function to the remote option, like in the following:

$(el).typeahead({
  name: 'custom',
  remote: function(query, done) { done([query, 'test', 'test2']); }
});

Another way would be to allow specifying a transport object for the queries. Currently it creates a new Transport object if remote is specified, and does not allow specifying a custom transport (at least not that I saw).

Hi @conradz - you may want to have a look at my pull request #220 - is that what you're looking for?

[conradz]

Oh yes, that is exactly what I'm looking for. For some reason I couldn't find any previous issues. Also covered in the issues #95 and #206.

Closing in favor of the existing open issues.
