Typeahead render method.

[gcoop]

Exposed typeahead render method so you can override it and customise the list html based on the type of object returned from a custom source. You need this if you want to produce something like the new twitter search/autocomplete.

Changed .next() to use .nextAll(':has(a):first') so you can have <li class="divider"></li> separating result types.

Example

var labels
  , mapped
$("input").typeahead({
  source: function (query, process) {
    $.get('/autocomplete', { q: query }, function (data) {
      labels = []
      mapped = {}

      $.each(data, function (i, item) {
        mapped[item.label] = item.value
        labels.push(item.label)
      })

      process(labels)
    })
  },
  render: function () {
      var that = this

      items = $(mapped).map(function (i, item) {
        i = $(that.options.item).attr('data-value', item)

        if (item.thumb) { // Ok object has a thumbnail.
          i.find('a').append(''+that.highlighter(item));
        } else {
          i.find('a').html(that.highlighter(item))
        }

        return i[0]
      })

      items.first().addClass('active')
      this.$menu.html(items)
  },
  updater: function (item) {
    return mapped[item]
  }
})

Hey @gcoop,

Thanks for opening this pull-request! Unfotunately, it looks like it fails to pass the tests neccessary for submitting to bootstrap. The following tests are currently failing:

• should always include a unit test if changing js files

For a full list of issue filing guidelines, please refer to the bootstrap issue filing guidelines.

thanks!

Please see my comment here #4024 (comment). We should make sure this is integrated. It is critical for things like search query auto-complete (e.g. so you don't need JS for click events).
