Dear all
I am reading a rails cookbook about the auto_complete_for function, the code as below
app/controllers/musicians_controller.rb:
class MusiciansController < ApplicationController
auto_complete_for :musician, :name
def index end
def add # assemble a band... end end
app/views/musicians/index.rhtml:
<h1>Musician Selection</h1>
<% form_tag :action => :add do %> <%= text_field_with_auto_complete :musician, :name %> <%= submit_tag 'Add' %> <% end %>
My question is that, if the name attribute consists lots of duplicated values, how can I distinct them before pass to auto_complete_for? I afraid the performance would be affected if not to distinct it.
Thank you very much.
Valentino
