I’m putting this here because it took too long to set up:
==============================
Things you’ll need for auto_complete since everyone else was too lazy to
write down:
Example model is ‘list’
Example field is ‘name’
Controller
auto_complete_for :list, :name
skip_before_filter :verify_authenticity_token, :only =>
[:auto_complete_for_list_name]
view (edit.html.erb)
<%= javascript_include_tag :all, :cache => true %>
<% form_for(@list) do |f| %>
<%= f.error_messages %>
New <%= f.label :name %>: <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :list, :name %> <%= f.submit "Update" %> <% end %>
layout
<%= javascript_include_tag :defaults %>
routes.rb
map.auto_complete ‘:controller/:action’,
:requirements => { :action => /auto_complete_for_\S+/
},
:conditions => { :method => :get }
