Select sources that have to be dynamics

[Vinzoof]

Thank you for this great plugin :-)
I would like to use the "dynamic" function only for one source. This one has to be refreshed each time the user click the input box and the other (the biggests ones) have to stay in the cache.

Is there a way to do that ?

Hey @Vinzoof, it is not possible currently to define dynamic per source group. It is a good suggestion and shouldn't be too hard to implement in a future release. Thanks for the suggestion

Happy New Year @running-coder and thank you for your answer.

I'll stay tuned then ! It would be a great improvement for my website's search engine :-)

To tell you everything, my idea would be to add a source with the user recent history search by using cookies.

Wasn't an easy feature to implement but definitly a cool one! Let me know if everything works as expected.

Hello @running-coder. Thank you really much for your work :-)
I'm sorry but I wasn't successful at getting it to work. How should I implement the dynamic search ?

Here is my code :

testsrc:{
   data: function() {
      if (typeof Cookies.getJSON('search-history') != "undefined") {return Cookies.getJSON('search-history');}
      else {return "";}
   },
   dynamic:true
}

hey @Vinzoof I've tested using this init, all works fine. It console.log on every search. Make sure you have the latest commit on the develop branch, I've fixed a bunch of stuff

$.typeahead({
    input: '.js-typeahead-input',
    minLength: 1,
    highlight: false,
    emptyTemplate: 'No result for {{query}}',
    source: {
        testsrc:{
            data: function() {
                console.log('coucou');
                return ['data1', 'data2']
            },
            dynamic:true
        }
    }
});

Thank you @running-coder . I found the source of the malfunction, I had left the cache option to "true".

It seems to be normal when I read your documentation :

• This option can't be combined with dynamic: true,

However I still can't do what I want to do : have all my sources cached and static (because they are big) and the last one non-cached dynamic (in order to implement an history search).

Don't you think the cache option should also be defined by source ?
