I'm not sure if typeahead will accept json as source but for me it worked
the following way:
I created a string from values in which values were in double quotes and
delimited by comma and I sent that string to the view:
For example:
source_string = '"one", "two", "three"'
return dict(sstr=source_string)
In the view just put that source string as typeahead source:
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function(){
var sourceString = [{{=sstr}}];
$("#no_table_locality").typeahead({source: sourceString});
});
</script>
And it works like a charm!
