tokenizer function Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace Function to parse the query.
languages Array [] If not empty, only languages code in the Array will be shown

Tokenizer

The tokenizer parameter is a shortcut to defined the tokenizer of the Bloodhound object. The function should have the following parameters and returns

/**
 * Tokenize a query string into readable data for Bloodhound
 *
 * @param  {string}  query  The query string typed in the input of typeahead
 * @return {Array}          A list of string
 *
 */
function tokenizer(query) {
  return query.split(" ");
}

eg : You can use this ctsTypeahead param to automatically filter on language for example :

/**
 * Tokenize a query string into readable data for Bloodhound and accept only given language
 *
 * @param  {string}  query  The query string typed in the input of typeahead
 * @return {Array}          A list of string
 *
 */
function tokenizer(query) {
  query = Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace(query);
  query.push("lang:grc");
  return query;
}

CSS custom classes

Because so many plugins force you to dig the code or extend your already existing CSS classes, we thought it might be cool to give you the availability to add your own classes to all the generated DOM elements !. To do so, when passing your option object to the constructor, add the css dictionary, where keys are identifier described below and value a list of classes (WITHOUT THE DOT).

Identifier Automatic class Description
container ["cts-selector"] Container for all the generated DOM
retrieve-button ["cts-selector-retriever"] <button /> used to retrieve passage
retrieve-button-container [] <div /> containing previous button
citation ["cts-selector-citation"] <div /> containing beginning or end passage selection's containers
citation-container ["cts-selector-passage-container"] <div /> containing beginning or end passage selection's inputs
citation-container-legend ["cts-selector-passage-label"] <span /> for the given div containing identifier for beginning or end
citation-input ["cts-selector-passage-number"] <Input /> for passage selection
