Re: CakePHP 3.0 autocomplete

I got the Autocomplete widget to work with the following:

Same autocomplete widget file as you but different code in controller and view file:
Controller:
public $helpers = [
        'Form' => [
            'widgets' => [
                'autocomplete' => ['App\View\Widget\Autocomplete']
            ]
        ]
    ];

add.ctp:
<?php
    echo $this->Html->css('jquery-ui.theme.css');
    echo $this->Html->script('jquery',['block'=>true]);
    echo $this->Html->script('jquery-ui',['block'=>true]);
    $this->Html->scriptStart(['block'=>true,'safe'=>false]);
    ?>
<!--
$(document).ready(function(){
   
         var availableTags =[ <?php
$prefix = '';
$lst ='';
foreach ($salesPeople as $sp)
{
    $lst .= $prefix . '"' . $sp . '"';
    $prefix = ', ';
}
echo $lst;
  ?>];
        <?php
        if(strlen($purchase->sales_person)>0){?>
             $( "#sales_person" ).autocomplete({source: availableTags}).val('<?= $purchase->sales_person?>').data('autocomplete')._trigger('select');
    <?php
        }?>  
    });

//-->

<?php
    $this->Html->scriptEnd();
    // Using a classname.
    $this->Form->addWidget(
            'autocomplete',
            ['App\View\Widget\Autocomplete']
    );
?>   
    <div class="purchases form">
<?= $this->Form->create($purchase,['templates'=>['autocomplete' => '<input id="sales_person" name="{{name}}"{{attrs}}>'],
                                                                        'onsubmit'=>'return validateForm()']); ?>
    <fieldset>
        <legend><?= __('Add Purchase'); ?></legend>
    <?php
        echo $this->Form->input('sales_person', ['type' => 'autocomplete','label'=>'Sales Person','id'=>'sales_person','required'=>true]);
  </fieldset>
<?= $this->Form->button(__('Submit')); ?>
<?= $this->Form->end(); ?>
</div>


I eliminated all of the items not necessary for the example, so there are likely errors in there, but it should give you the gist of what is needed for the autocomplete to work.

Hi,

I am trying to make an autocomplete input work on Cake 3.0

The current 3.0 cookbook gives a code example here : http://book.cakephp.org/3.0/en/core-libraries/helpers/form.html

If I try it I get an error message:
Fatal error: Declaration of App\View\Widget\Autocomplete::render() must be compatible with Cake\View\Widget\WidgetInterface::render(array $data, Cake\View\Form\ContextInterface $context) in /home/rrd/public_html/sanga/src/View/Widget/Autocomplete.php on line 6

If I change my render function to

public function render(array $data, Cake\View\Form\ContextInterface $context) {

Still I get the same error message.

Any idea how to solve this?
