I am trying to give my search bar autocomplete function.
$(function() {
var availableTags = [{
"game1": "title1"
},
{
"game2": "title2"
},
{
"game3": "title3"
},
];
$("#choices-text-preset-values").autocomplete({
source: availableTags
});
});<script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.5.0.js"></script>
<script src="https://code.jquery.com/ui/1.12.1/jquery-ui.js"></script>
<form method="GET" action="{% url 'search_results' %}" style="display: inline; background-color: transparent;" method="get">
<div id="search_bar" class="row" style="margin-top: 0px; text-align: center;">
<input name="q" class="sb-pos" id="choices-text-preset-values" type="text" placeholder="Aramak istediğiniz oyunu yazın! " style="padding-left: 30px;" />
<button type="submit" style="background-color: transparent; border: none;" class="sb-icon-pos">
<i class="fa fa-search" style="color: black; font-size: x-large;"></i>
</button>
</div>
</form>I am getting this error:
TypeError: $( "#choices-text-preset-values" ).autocomplete is not a function. (In '$( "#choices-text-preset-values" ).autocomplete({
source: ['deneme','deneme2']
})', '$( "#choices-text-preset-values" ).autocomplete' is undefined)

Answer
The jQuery (or any javascript API in general) API might not be found for a various number of reasons.
Usually the problem is caused by the jQuery javascript code not being loaded at the moment your script executes. This can be due to a various number of reasons:
- An adblocker might have blocked the jQuery javascript file
- The jQuery javascript file is hosted on a CDN / other server that is offline
- You loaded jQuery, but forgot to include jQuery UI (autocomplete is part of jQuery UI!)
- Your code was executed before jQuery was loaded.
This can be caused because your<script>$(document).ready(/*whatever*/);</script>code is located before the<script src="/path/to/jquery.js"></script>block, or alternately because you mistakenly made the jquery script tagasync. So, make sure that:- the jQuery script tag is located before your script and
- it is not marked as
async.
