Changing local data?

[Siyfion]

Does typeahead.js support changing of the local data array post-initialization while still getting the typeahead functionality for the newly inserted items?

I just tried to utilize this in my AngularJS app:

      $scope.addCountry = function () {
        $scope.exampleData.local.push({name:'XXX Test Place', code: 'XXX'});
      };

      // single dataset
      $scope.exampleData = {
        name: 'countries',
        valueKey: 'name',
        local: [
          {name: 'Afghanistan', code: 'AF'},
          {name: 'Åland Islands', code: 'AX'},
          {name: 'Albania', code: 'AL'},
          {name: 'Algeria', code: 'DZ'},
          {name: 'American Samoa', code: 'AS'},
          ...
       ]
     };

There's currently not a way to add local data post-initialization. What you'd have to do is destroy the typeahead and reinitialize it.

@jharding Now that is a shame!

But I guess it's not a massively common use-case, so perhaps it's not that awkward to destroy & re-init.

@Siyfion you could try the compute argument per pull request #220 - does that do what you want?

[jharding]

In v0.10, if you are using a bloodhound suggestion engine, you can accomplish this by using Bloodhound#add.

@jharding is there a way to remove an existing entry in a similar vein?

Not yet, but there's an issue opened to add a way, see #652.
