Code example

Here is an example using twitter typeahead. The library provides 2 functions, symbol and suggest, which return either ticker symbols or company names. The functions return an array of objects with name and symbol properties. In the example, lodash is used to prune the results down to either just the symbol or just the name.

            $('.typeahead-symbols').typeahead({
              hint: true,
              highlight: true,
              minLength: 1
            }, {
              name: 'symbols',
              source: function(query, callback) {
                callback(_.map(ticker.symbol(query), 'symbol'));
              }
            });
