Why doesn't autocomplete accept { value: '1',

I made some modifications to mdb.js First, your object must be in the format [{value, text}] Example: [{Value: 1, Text: “AAA”}, {Value: 2, Text: “BBB”}, …] Find the function $.fn.mdb_autocomplete in mdb.js (in my case it was the line 27502) I made change in the for the keyup event: for (var item in data) { // check if item contains value that we’re looking for if (data[item].Text.toLowerCase().indexOf(q.toLowerCase()) !== -1) { //row changed var option = $(” + data[item].Text + ”); //row changed $autocomplete.append(option); } } And also in the event click li, where I added the line below: // Set input value after click $input.val($(this).text()); // Set input data-value $input.attr(“data-value”, $(this).val()); //row add Now I can read the data-value attribute of the input. It is a solution that helped me, and I hope I have helped.
