javascript - jQuery Tokeninput and the onFreeTaggingAdd callback -

the jquery plugin tokeninput (master branch) (https://github.com/loopj/jquery-tokeninput) has new feature adding tags. unfortunately feature far best documented @ twitter: https://twitter.com/loopj/status/332249287062851585.

i'm trying figure out how use onfreetaggingadd, unfortunately i'm jquery , javascript newbie.

in short callback take output api , use in tokenbox. way able modify tag (lower case etc) , add id. able replace id/tag if that's policy suggested api.

below, please see code far. i've tried several options set item=data , return value, far without success. appreciated!

onfreetaggingadd: function (item) {  $.post("../php/add_tagg_02.php", {tag: item, userid: "userid-dummy"} ) .done(function(data, status, xhr) { alert ("your suggested new tag " + data.name + " entered in database , considered future use."); console.log( data.name ); //returns "new" name api console.log( data.id ); //returns id provided api })     return item; //returns "old" name user input    }, 

i believe library sets freetag's id same name default, way change edit add_freetagging_tokens() method within library.

at point called, token nothing more string, change name, this:

onfreetaggingadd: function (item) {  $.post("../php/add_tagg_02.php", {tag: item, userid: "userid-dummy"} ) .done(function(data, status, xhr) { alert ("your suggested new tag " + data.name + " entered in database , considered future use."); console.log( data.name ); //returns "new" name api console.log( data.id ); //returns id provided api })     return data.name; //sets tokens name/id new name api. }, 

if did want customize id, should relatively simple change method return object, instead of string.

also aware token won't searchable for, unless update data source.
