Install Laravel App
First of we need to download laravel fresh setup. Use the below command and download fresh new laravel setup :
Setup Database
After successfully install laravel 5.7 Application, Go to your project .env file and set up database credential and move next step :
DB_CONNECTION=mysql
DB_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_PORT=3306
DB_DATABASE=here your database name here
DB_USERNAME=here database username here
DB_PASSWORD=here database password here
Generate Fake Records
Before we add fake records in database first migrate the table in database using the below command :
php artisan migrate
We need to add fake records in our database. use the below command and add 100 fake records in database :
php artisan migrate
php artisan tinker
factory(App\User::class, 100)->create();
Make Routes
Now we will create two routes one for show search input box and second for autocomplete search using jquery ui autocomplete.
Route::get('search', 'AutoCompleteController@index');
Route::get('autocomplete', 'AutoCompleteController@search');
Create Controller
We need to create a controller name AutoCompleteController. Use the below command and create Controller :
php artisan make:controller AutoCompleteController
After successfully create controller go to app/controllers/AutoCompleteController.php and put the below code :
<?php
namespace App\Http\Controllers;
use Illuminate\Http\Request;
use App\User;
class AutoCompleteController extends Controller
{
public function index()
{
return view('search');
}
public function search(Request $request)
{
$search = $request->get('term');
$result = User::where('name', 'LIKE', '%'. $search. '%')->get();
return response()->json($result);
}
}
Create Blade view
In this step we need to create blade view file. Go to app/resources/views and create one file name search.blade.php .
After create blade file put the below html code here with jquery ui and css library file :
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="ie=edge">
<meta name="csrf-token" content="{{ csrf_token() }}">

$(document).ready(function() {
$( "#search" ).autocomplete({
source: function(request, response) {
$.ajax({
url: "{{url('autocomplete')}}",
data: {
term : request.term
},
dataType: "json",
success: function(data){
var resp = $.map(data,function(obj){
//console.log(obj.city_name);
return obj.name;
});
response(resp);
}
});
},
minLength: 1
});
});
</script>
