Which callback filters before adding?

[mimhof1]

Greetings, I'm trying to locate the correct callback to filter a selection before allowing it to be added to the list. The basic idea is if the entered || comma-ed || tabbed || query is not a valid email ( using a regex here) then it clears the input box and prevents the add. I am about to hack beforeRequest but it seems to be fired with every keypress instead of hooking right before adding.

Hi,

that is not available currently. Min chars, max chars and double entries are prevented, but nothing further than that.

If you mean, please make a PR. It's welcome.

Have a look https://github.com/hlsolutions/jquery-autosuggest/blob/c7c9c93c800ee6449cea38d798ea64a8878fef98/src/jquery.autoSuggest.coffee#L983-998

Hi Jan...I'm going to go after it then using beforeRequest in the
meantime. Would you suggest that to be the best entry point? WHat I'll do
is take the query and check if tab, enter, or comma was the last key, then
if so, run the regex filter and if pass, return query and if not, clear and
return empty. Sound feasible?

FYI, not sure if I sent that PR to the right place.

Hm. I don't think so.

1. Clone/Checkout this repository (hlsolutions/hquery-autosuggets)

Hi Jan, I was able to create a workaround using the callback
afterSelectionAdd instead of beforeRequest.
Basically, it takes "item", check that key I want to filter( item.email),
and if it fails, forces an immediate
$("input[name="test).autoSuggest('remove',item.email);
Essentially, the item got added to the list, then we checked it, and
because it failed, turned around and removed it. It's fast enough for what
we need to do because the data in the list isn't being used until a
separate function is called elsewhere. Thanks again for taking this plugin
to a new level...and thanks for the quick responses. BTW I found your
version after chasing down issues in the first one and saw your link to
yours. Thanks for taking the time to do that.
