Compiling data array to pass to Materialize Autocomplete












1















I am trying to load custom data array into Materialize's autocomplete function. It works when I use the test data from the documentation, but when I use my own array it isn't. I've tried all sorts but can't work this out. I'm sure this is the simplest thing in the world...



Thanks for your help



I've created a JS Fiddle



Here's the Official Documentation





Documentation code (working)



$(document).ready(function(){
$('input.autocomplete').autocomplete({
data: {
"Apple": null,
"Microsoft": null,
"Google": 'https://placehold.it/250x250'
},
});
});





My code (not working!)

entries = ;

// Gather the info from the page
$(".entry_list .entry").each( function() {

name = $(this).find(".name").text();

// This is where I think I am going wrong somehow!
// Have tried {name: name, image: null}, {value: name.., {string: name... etc, nothing is working
entries.push(name);

});

// This confirms that the array isn't empty
console.log("- Found " + entries.length);

$('input.autocomplete').autocomplete({
data: entries,
});
