Jquery autocomplete from json array

Question

Please solve this issue: I have the json format array in external js: (NOT Ajax(json) request)

var data = [{"Id": 0,"City": "Chicago"},{"Id": 1,"City": "New York"},...]

I need to create Jquery autocomplete form with arrow. Maybe it will be: select Chicago (from external JS) New York /select, or textarea, input. One thing is required: arrow will be visible, because user may choose elements with mouse. How to attach array to html page?

Here it shows all the items containing the word in input. Check this fiddle. May it helps.

var data = [{"Id": 0,"City": "Chicago"},
           {"Id": 1,"City": "New York"},
           {"Id": 2,"City": "Aew York1"},
           {"Id": 3,"City": "Bew York2"}]
           
$.each(data,function(i,item){
 var $option=$('<option>',{val:item.Id,text:item.City});
 $('#tags').append($option);
})

$.widget( "custom.combobox", {
      _create: function() {
        this.wrapper = $( "<span>" )
          .addClass( "custom-combobox" )
          .insertAfter( this.element );

        this.element.hide();
        this._createAutocomplete();
        this._createShowAllButton();
      },

      _createAutocomplete: function() {
        var selected = this.element.children( ":selected" ),
            value = selected.val() ? selected.text() : "";

        this.input = $( "<input>" ).appendTo( this.wrapper )
          .val( value )
          .attr( "title", "" )
          .addClass( "custom-combobox-input ui-widget ui-widget-content ui-state-default ui-corner-left" )
          .autocomplete({
            delay: 0,
            minLength: 0,
            source: $.proxy( this, "_source" )

          })
          .tooltip({
            classes: {
              "ui-tooltip": "ui-state-highlight"
            }
          });

        this._on( this.input, {
          autocompleteselect: function( event, ui ) {
            ui.item.option.selected = true;
            this._trigger( "select", event, {
              item: ui.item.option
            });
          },
          autocompletechange: "_removeIfInvalid"
        });
      },

 

      _createShowAllButton: function() {
        var input = this.input,
          wasOpen = false;

        $( "<a>" )
          .attr( "tabIndex", -1 )
          .attr( "title", "Show All Items" )
          .tooltip()
          .appendTo( this.wrapper )
          .button({
            icons: {
              primary: "ui-icon-triangle-1-s"
            },
            text: false

          })
          .removeClass( "ui-corner-all" )
          .addClass( "custom-combobox-toggle ui-corner-right" )
          .on( "mousedown", function() {
            wasOpen = input.autocomplete("widget").is( ":visible" );
          })

          .on( "click", function() {
            input.trigger("focus");
            // Close if already visible

            if ( wasOpen ) {
              return;
            }
            // Pass empty string as value to search for, displaying all results
            input.autocomplete( "search", "" );

          });

      },

 

      _source: function( request, response ) {
        var matcher = new RegExp( $.ui.autocomplete.escapeRegex(request.term), "i" );

        response( this.element.children( "option" ).map(function() {
          var text = $( this ).text();
          if ( this.value && ( !request.term || matcher.test(text) ) )
            return {
              label: text,
              value: text,
              option: this
            };
        }) );
      }, 

      _removeIfInvalid: function( event, ui ) {

        var value = this.input.val(),
          valueLowerCase = value.toLowerCase(),

        this.element.children( "option" ).each(function() {

            this.selected = valid = true;
            return false;
          }
        });
        // Found a match, nothing to do

        if ( valid ) {
          return;
        }

        // Remove invalid value

        this.input.val( "" ).attr( "title", value + " didn't match any item" ).tooltip("open");
        this.element.val( "" );

        this._delay(function() {
          this.input.tooltip( "close" ).attr( "title", "" );
        }, 2500 );
        this.input.autocomplete( "instance" ).term = "";
      },

      _destroy: function() {
        this.wrapper.remove();
        this.element.show();
