在ASP.NET MVC中使用typeahead.js支持预先输入,即智能提示

使用typeahead.js可以实现预先输入，即智能提示，本篇在ASP.NET MVC下实现。实现效果如下：

首先是有关城市的模型。

    public class City
    {
        public int Id { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string PinYin { get; set; }
    }

在HomeController中响应前端请求返回有关City的json数据。

        public ActionResult GetCitiesJson()
        {
            var result = new List<City>()
            {
                new City(){Id = 1, Name = "青岛",PinYin = "qingdao"},
                new City(){Id = 10, Name = "青山",PinYin = "qingshan"},
                new City(){Id = 11, Name = "青峰",PinYin = "qingfeng"},
                new City(){Id = 2, Name = "武汉",PinYin = "wuhan"},
                new City(){Id = 3, Name = "烟台",PinYin = "yantai"},
                new City(){Id = 4, Name = "哈尔滨",PinYin = "haerbing"},
                new City(){Id = 5, Name = "北京",PinYin = "beijing"},
                new City(){Id = 6, Name = "安阳",PinYin = "angyang"},
                new City(){Id = 7, Name = "长春",PinYin = "changchun"},
                new City(){Id = 8, Name = "东阳",PinYin = "dongyang"},
                new City(){Id = 9, Name = "葛洲坝",PinYin = "gezhoubei"}
            };
            return Json(result,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
        }    

在视图中先加载City集合，再使用预先输入功能。

@section styles
{
    <link href="~/Content/TypeHead.css" rel="stylesheet" />
}
<div style="margin: 50px;">
    <input class="typeahead" type="text" placeholder="输入城市名称">
</div>
@section scripts
{
    <script src="~/Scripts/typeahead.bundle.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            $.getJSON('@Url.Action("GetCitiesJson","Home")', function(data) {
                if (data) {
                    $.each(data, function(index, city) {
                        cities.push(city.Name);
                    });
                }
            });
            //预先输入功能
            $('.typeahead').typeahead({
                hint: true,
                highlight: true,
                minLength: 1
            },
            {
                name: 'city',
                displayKey: 'value',
                source: substringMatcher(cities)
            });
        });
        var cities = [];
        //参数arr表示数据源 数组
        var substringMatcher = function (arr) {
            return function findMatches(q, cb) {
                var substrRegex;
                var matches = [];
                substrRegex = new RegExp(q, 'i');
                $.each(arr, function (i, ele) {
                    if (substrRegex.test(ele)) {
                        matches.push({ value: ele });
                    }
                });
                cb(matches);
            };
        };
    </script>
}

如何同时支持拼音和汉字的预先输入、智能提示呢？My dear friends, Any idea?
