Answer 1

Materialize is an awesome library, I was able to get it to work.
$('document').ready(function() {
var input_selector = 'input[type=text], input[type=password], input[type=email], input[type=url], input[type=tel], input[type=number], input[type=search], textarea';
/**************************
* Auto complete plugin *
*************************/
$(input_selector).each(function() {
var $input = $(this);
if ($input.hasClass('autocomplete')) {
var $array = $input.data('array'),
$inputDiv = $input.closest('.input-field'); // Div to append on
// Check if "data-array" isn't empty
if ($array !== '') {
// Create html element
var $html = '<ul class="autocomplete-content hide">';
for (var i = 0; i < $array.length; i++) {
// If path and class aren't empty add image to auto complete else create normal element
if ($array[i]['path'] !== '' && $array[i]['path'] !== undefined && $array[i]['path'] !== null && $array[i]['class'] !== undefined && $array[i]['class'] !== '') {
$html += '<li class="autocomplete-option"><img src="' + $array[i]['path'] + '" class="' + $array[i]['class'] + '"><span>' + $array[i]['value'] + '</span></li>';
} else {
$html += '<li class="autocomplete-option"><span>' + $array[i]['value'] + '</span></li>';
}
}
$html += '</ul>';
$inputDiv.append($html); // Set ul in body
// End create html element
function highlight(string) {
$('.autocomplete-content li').each(function() {
var matchStart = $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf("" + string.toLowerCase() + ""),
matchEnd = matchStart + string.length - 1,
beforeMatch = $(this).text().slice(0, matchStart),
matchText = $(this).text().slice(matchStart, matchEnd + 1),
afterMatch = $(this).text().slice(matchEnd + 1);
$(this).html("<span>" + beforeMatch + "<span class='highlight'>" + matchText + "</span>" + afterMatch + "</span>");
});
}
// Perform search
$(document).on('keyup', $input, function() {
var $val = $input.val().trim(),
$select = $('.autocomplete-content');
// Check if the input isn't empty
$select.css('width',$input.width());
if ($val != '') {
$select.children('li').addClass('hide');
$select.children('li').filter(function() {
$select.removeClass('hide'); // Show results
// If text needs to highlighted
if ($input.hasClass('highlight-matching')) {
highlight($val);
}
var check = true;
for (var i in $val) {
if ($val[i].toLowerCase() !== $(this).text().toLowerCase()[i])
check = false;
};
return check ? $(this).text().toLowerCase().indexOf($val.toLowerCase()) !== -1 : false;
}).removeClass('hide');
} else {
$select.children('li').addClass('hide');
}
});
// Set input value
$('.autocomplete-option').click(function() {
$input.val($(this).text().trim());
$('.autocomplete-option').addClass('hide');
});
} else {
return false;
}
}
});
});
.autocomplete-content {
position: absolute;
background: #383838;
margin-top: -.9rem;
}
.autocomplete-content li {
clear: both;

UPDATED 1/09/2016:
Autocomplete is already available officially:
http://materializecss.com/forms.html#autocomplete
I was looking for exactly the same and I think We have been lucky. They added the autocomplete recently, (not yet in the documentation). But you can see the info here https://github.com/SuperDJ/materialize/commit/3648f74542e41c3b3be4596870b7485f6ebdf176#diff-e4535828acef79852aa104417c16fe3dR157
and the code:

down load this js and save inside your js folder jquery.materialize-autocomplete.js and u can over ride onSelect,minLength,showListOnFocus

Answer 4

Visit the link for demo https://ampersandacademy.com/demo/autocomplete/
you can easily achieve the autocomplete functionality using the Devberidge plugin.
Get Devbridge plugin using https://github.com/devbridge/jQuery-Autocomplete
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
$("#country").devbridgeAutocomplete({
//lookup: countries,
serviceUrl:"getCountry.php", //tell the script where to send requests
type:'POST',
//callback just to show it's working
onSelect: function (suggestion) {
// $('#selection').html('You selected: ' + suggestion.value + ', ' + suggestion.data);
},
showNoSuggestionNotice: true,
noSuggestionNotice: 'Sorry, no matching results',
});
});
Here the getCountry.php file returns the JSON data. For more info visit https://ampersandacademy.com/tutorials/materialize-css/materialize-css-framework-ajax-autocomplete-example-using-php

Answer 5

According to the commit done by SuperDJ (https://goo.gl/0Mbrtg), I didn't manage to get it works...
Here is the code :
<div class="row">
<div class="col s12">
<div class="row">
<div class="input-field col s12">
<input type="text" id="autocomplete" class="autocomplete highlight-matching" data-array='[{"value": "example","path": "","class": ""},{"value": "example 2","path": "","class": ""},{"value": "test","path": "","class": ""}]'>
<label for="autocomplete">Autocomplete</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
Here is a codepen test :
http://codepen.io/anthonyvialleton/pen/BjPjKM
Need some help to get this work.

Answer 6

As per, here.
You just need to do this simple thing (From the example there only):
HTML:
<div class="row">
<div class="col s12">
<div class="row">
<div class="input-field col s12">
<i class="material-icons prefix">textsms</i>
<input type="text" id="autocomplete-input" class="autocomplete">
<label for="autocomplete-input">Autocomplete</label>
</div>
</div>
</div>
JS:
$('input.autocomplete').autocomplete({
data: {
"Apple": null,
"Microsoft": null,
"Google": null
}
});

You can use the above .js file and you can over ride
Onselect
showListOnFocus: false,
minLength:2
according to your requirement and it will work.

Answer 8

Just write the Initialisation script inside $(document).ready(function(){});
i.e.
$(document).ready(function(){
$('input.autocomplete').autocomplete({
data: {
"Apple": null,
"Microsoft": null,
"Google": null
}
});
});

Answer 9

As mentioned above, autocomplete has been added the the materialize framework but it is still pretty limited. I'm waiting for a solution that supports values (ex Ids) icons and text.
