Here I want to create text box, which can show a matching list of customers after 3 input letters. I have used twitter typeahead with remote plugin. Whenever I enter 3 letters, it started showing a blank box but it doesn't contain any kind of list. Do I miss anything? Please help me out !! My markup and jQuery are as below...

<form>
    <div >
        <label>Customer</label>
        <input id="customer" type="text" value=""  />
    </div>
    <div >
        <label>Movies</label>
        <input type="text" value=""  />
    </div>

    <button >Submit</button>
</form>


<script>
        $(document).ready(function () {
            var viewmodel = {};
            var customers = new Bloodhound({
                datumTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.obj.whitespace('name'),
                queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
                remote: {
                    url: '/api/customers?query=%QUERY',
                    wildcard: '%QUERY'
                }
            });

            $('#customer').typeahead({
                minLength: 3,
                highlight: true
            }, {
                name: 'customers',
                display: 'name',
                source: customers
            }).on("typeahead:select", function (e, customer) {
                viewmodel.customerId = customer.id;
            });
        });
</script>

Twitter typeahead hasn't been updated for more than five years and its broken with new Bootstrap (4/5) and JQuery library. I suggest you to use JQuery Typeahead which is more recent and features complete. Here is a working example:

$.typeahead({
    input: '.js-typeahead-country_v1',
    order: "desc",
    source: {
        data: [
            "Afghanistan", "Albania", "Algeria", "Andorra", "Angola", "Antigua and Barbuda",
            "Argentina", "Armenia", "Australia", "Austria", "Azerbaijan", "Bahamas", "Bahrain", "Bangladesh",

Of course you can get data from an Ajax API call using the source option from the plugin.
