How to use JS autocomplete in Jira 8?

[Johannes Heger (CD)]

Hello,

I used jQuery autocomplete in Jira 7 like this:

$('#customfield_12345').autocomplete(...);

with local data (no ajax).

In my atlassian-plugin.xml I didn't include anything special for this.

Unfortunately, in Jira 8.1 I get

Uncaught TypeError: $(...).autocomplete is not a function

I have tried a lot including stuff in atlassian-plugin.xml like (each separate)

<dependency>jira.webresources:autocomplete</dependency>

<dependency>jira.webresources:jquery-ui</dependency>

<dependency>com.atlassian.jira.gadgets:autocomplete</dependency>

<dependency>com.atlassian.auiplugin:jquery-ui-other</dependency>

 but without success.

How to get autocomplete running in Jira 8?

Thanks a lot,

Johannes

Answering the question by myself:

I needed an JS autocompleter for several self-developed add-ons for my employer as well as to keep alive Wim's great Jira Database Values Plugin JDVP. In the end I made this:

1. Evaluated some JS autocomplete-libs, and decided to take https://github.com/Pixabay/jQuery-autoComplete.
2. Because I needed some extra functionality all the evaluated autocomplete-libs didn't provide, I made a fork of that lib and modified it to my needs: https://github.com/comdirect/jQuery-autoComplete/tree/master-cd.
3. I created a new Jira add-on jira-cd-jsautocomplete, and put the files of my modified fork in there. You'll find the code and bins here: https://bitbucket.org/comdirect-bank/jira-cd-jsautocomplete/src/master. This add-on provides the JS autocomplete on all Jira pages.
4. I modified the calls to the JS autocomplete of my add-ons and the JDVP to the API of my fork. This means: JDVP now depends on jira-cd-jsautocomplete.
5. You'll find the JDVP code and bins here in my fork: https://bitbucket.org/comdirect-bank/jdvp/src/master/.
6. Of course no warranty and no support for all that stuff.
7. But any feedback appreciated.

Wim, thanks again for JDVP!

Best regards, Johannes

Hi Johannes,

Glad you like the plugin. I am currently updating my version of the plugin with that autocomplete you selected. I will incorporate it inside my plugin itself to avoid having to install 2 plugins. I am really grateful for your updates, they really help me a lot!

regards,

Wim
