I have a select with thousands of elements to show on frontend page but it loads very slowly so I want to use autocomplete input. 

I got a simple script here as example: https://jqueryui.com/autocomplete/ and it works on my frontend page but when I switch the example list with my list of elements it raise the following error:


TypeError: this.source is not a function

http://127.0.0.1:8069/web/static/lib/jquery.ui/jquery-ui.js:7602
Traceback:
_search@http://127.0.0.1:8069/web/static/lib/jquery.ui/jquery-ui.js:7602:8
$.widget/search@http://127.0.0.1:8069/web/static/lib/jquery.ui/jquery-ui.js:7594:15
$.widget/_searchTimeout/this.searchinghandlerProxy@http://127.0.0.1:8069/web/static/lib/jquery.ui/jquery-ui.js:641:6


I adapted my code to the res.country table data so it should be easy to test for anyone if you can help me with this. Log error doesn't say much to me because I don't know js framework, but when i t-out 'country_list' I can see list of strings. On _searchTimeout property I can read 

// search timeout should be triggered before the input value is changed 
So I guess it has something to do with promise resolve, async function.. all things I don't know very well : )


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

                $( function() {
                var availableCountries = $( "select_country_list_by_class" );
                $( "#tags" ).autocomplete({
                source: availableCountries
                });
                } );
            </script>
        </xpath>
        <xpath expr="//form//select[@name='country_id']//parent::div" position="after">
            <t t-set="country_list" t-value="[str(country_id.name) for country_id in countries]" class="select_country_list_by_class" />
            <t t-esc="country_list"/>
            <div class="ui-widget">
                <label for="tags">Tags:</label>
                <input id="tags"/>
            </div>
        </xpath>
    </template>

I managed to make it work for my specific use case, since I provided a little example on 'country_id' I will also provide the snippet with the solution. I've adapted some things to make it works on Odoo 14

I had some trouble to make the autocomplete() solution working with countries because it will fail with 'unexpected token' if you don't trim the " ' " from some countries, that's why I used replace() in this snippet.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<odoo>
    <template id="portal_details_autocomplete_snippet" inherit_id="portal.portal_my_details" name="User Profile">
        <xpath expr="//form" position="inside">
            <script src="/web/static/lib/jquery/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"/>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                <!-- Send readonly field to backend if any -->
                $('Form').on('submit', function() {
                $('select').prop('disabled', false);
                });
            </script>
            <script src="/web/static/lib/jquery.ui/jquery-ui.js" type="text/javascript"/>
            <script type="text/javascript">
                $(document).ready(function() {
                var availableCountries =<t t-esc="[country_id.name.replace('\'', '') for country_id in countries]"/>;
                console.log(availableCountries)
                $('.country_autocomplete').autocomplete({
                source: availableCountries
                });
                });
            </script>
        </xpath>
        <xpath expr="//form//select[@name='country_id']//parent::div" position="after">
            <div t-attf-class="form-group #{error.get('country_id') and 'o_has_error' or ''} col-xl-6">
                <label class="col-form-label" for="country_id">Country ID (Test)</label>
                <input type="text" name="country_id"
                       t-attf-class="form-control #{error.get('country_id') and 'is-invalid' or ''} country_autocomplete"
                       t-att-value="country_id or partner.country_id"/>
            </div>
        </xpath>
    </template>
</odoo>
