README
======

[](#readme)

Checkout SamsonIT/ShowCase to see a working example of how to use this bundle.

How to install
--------------

[](#how-to-install)

Currently, you'll need to follow these steps to ensure the autocomplete will work:

- Enable this and the UnexpectedResponseBundle in your AppKernel

Example:

- Make sure the latest JQuery version is loaded (JQuery UI is not necessary)
- Make sure the latest Select2 javascript is loaded
- Make sure the latest Select2 css files are loaded and that the images bundled with it are in place
- Make sure the autocomplete.js file in this bundle is loaded
- Make sure the autocomplete.css file in this bundle is loaded (this one is not all that necessary)

An example of the above requirements can be found in

- Make sure the autocomplete.html.twig form theme is included into twig

Find an example here:

How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Using the autocomplete is very simple. There are three required options to configure the Form type, and one recommended:

```
$form = $this->createForm('autocomplete', null, array(
  'class' => 'SomeEntityClass',
  'template' => 'Template to use to display the entity.html.twig',
  'search_fields' => array('list of fields to search in'),
  'query_builder' => function(EntityRepository $er) {
    return $er->createQueryBuilder('s');
  }
);
```

The template can be defined as follows:

```
{% if highlight %}
Found: {{ result.name|highlight }}
{% else %}
{{ result.name }}
{% endif %}
```

The `highlight` filter will simply do nothing if the `highlight`property is false, so this is also a valid template:

```
{{ result.name|highlight }}
```
