Heavily based on django-autocomplete-light workflow and concepts, this toolkit offers a front-end agnostic way to get fields for autocompletion.

It will provide:

• a simple and configurable entry-point management,
• a REST-like HTTP API to search for results,
• Fields and widgets that will make the interface between our Django code and your Javascript.

Under construction. Warning, fresh paint.

pip install django-agnocomplete

Or add django-agnocomplete to your project requirements.

The full documentation is browsable on RTFD

Install tox in your environment (it could be a virtualenv) and run:

tox

It'll run the tests for all the combinations of the following:

• Python 2.7, 3.3, 3.4
• Django 1.6, 1.7, 1.8

and a flake8 check.

To target a specific test case, use the following:

tox -e py27-django17 --  demo.tests.test_core.AutocompleteChoicesPagesOverrideTest

Everything after the double-dash will be passed to the django-admin.py test command.

If you need to install a debugger (let's say ipdb), you can use the TOX_EXTRA environment variable like this:

TOX_EXTRA=ipdb tox -e py27-django18

The (draft) demo site can be browsed using the Django devserver. Run:

tox -e serve

It will run a syncdb (it may ask you questions) and then a runserver with your current demo.settings. You can browse the (very rough) website at http://127.0.0.1:8000/. You can add any runserver options you want using the tox positional parameters, like this:

tox -e serve -- 9090  # to change the listening port

Here you'll be able to see that django-agnocomplete has been easily and rapidly integrated with selectize.js, select2, jquery-autocomplete and typeahead. With the same backend, you can plug the JS front-end you want.
