Question

I’m trying to pass via json an array of values to the source: option of Typeahead plugin of Bootstrap.

Here is my simple code: JsFiddle

I have a JSON object and I’d like to pass just the value id to the source: array

What I’m doing wrong… I tried many things.

Twitter’s typeahead is expecting a Javascript array type. So, you’ll need to convert your JSON object to a legitimate array using JSON.parse(myJSONObject). However, typeahead is also expecting an array of strings, not array of arrays… So, the question is – which parameter of these arrays are you trying to show in the typeahead?

{
    "id":"2",
    "pid":"0",
    "type":"Group",
    "code":"g",
    "status":"1"
}

It looks like your vals function is isolating the id parameter. If that’s the parameter you’d like typeahead to show, simply point source to x. Checkout this modified jsFiddle:
