Flask + jquery autocomplete

Question

Yet another question about flask and jquery autocomplete. I have been reading and trying the following answered questions without any success:

Flask AJAX Autocomplete

Answer 1

Try this

from flask import jsonify

NAMES=["abc","abcd","abcde","abcdef"]

@app.route('/autocomplete',methods=['GET'])
def autocomplete():
    search = request.args.get('term')

    app.logger.debug(search)
    return jsonify(json_list=NAMES) 

In Jquery:

<script>
$(function() {
    $.ajax({
        url: '{{ url_for("autocomplete") }}'
        }).done(function (data) {
            $('#autocomplete').autocomplete({
                source: data.json_list,
                minLength: 2
            });
        });
    });
</script>

Answer 2

It doesn't work because a missprint in a suggested piece of code:

from flask import jsonify
NAMES=["abc","abcd","abcde","abcdef"]
@app.route('/autocomplete',methods=['GET'])
def autocomplete():
    search = request.args.get('term')

Change in search = request.args.get('term') 'term' to 'autocomplete'. So correct code should be as follow:

from flask import jsonify
NAMES=["abc","abcd","abcde","abcdef"]
@app.route('/autocomplete',methods=['GET'])
def autocomplete():
    search = request.args.get('autocomplete')
