使用typeahead.js可以实现预先输入，即智能提示，本篇在ASP.NET MVC下实现。实现效果如下：

首先是有关城市的模型。

public class City
{
    public int Id { get; set; }
    public string Name { get; set; }
    public string PinYin { get; set; }
}

在HomeController中响应前端请求返回有关City的json数据。

public ActionResult GetCitiesJson()
{
    var result = new List<City>()
    {
        new City(){Id = 1, Name = "青岛",PinYin = "qingdao"},
        new City(){Id = 10, Name = "青山",PinYin = "qingshan"},
        new City(){Id = 11, Name = "青峰",PinYin = "qingfeng"},
        new City(){Id = 2, Name = "武汉",PinYin = "wuhan"},
        new City(){Id = 3, Name = "烟台",PinYin = "yantai"},
        new City(){Id = 4, Name = "哈尔滨",PinYin = "haerbing"},
        new City(){Id = 5, Name = "北京",PinYin = "beijing"},
        new City(){Id = 6, Name = "安阳",PinYin = "angyang"},
        new City(){Id = 7, Name = "长春",PinYin = "changchun"},
        new City(){Id = 8, Name = "东阳",PinYin = "dongyang"},
        new City(){Id = 9, Name = "葛洲坝",PinYin = "gezhoubei"}
    };
    return Json(result,JsonRequestBehavior.AllowGet);
}

在视图中先加载City集合，再使用预先输入功能。

@section styles
{
    <link href="~/Content/TypeHead.css" rel="external nofollow"  rel="stylesheet" />
}
<div style="margin: 50px;">
    <input class="typeahead" type="text" placeholder="输入城市名称">
</div>
@section scripts
{
    <script src="~/Scripts/typeahead.bundle.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
        $(function () {
            $.getJSON('@Url.Action("GetCitiesJson","Home")', function(data) {
                if (data) {
                    $.each(data, function(index, city) {
                        cities.push(city.Name);                   
                    });
                }
            });
            //预先输入功能
            $('.typeahead').typeahead({
                hint: true,
                highlight: true,
                minLength: 1
            },
            {
                name: 'city',
                displayKey: 'value',
                source: substringMatcher(cities)
            });
        });
        var cities = [];
        //参数arr表示数据源 数组
        var substringMatcher = function (arr) {
            return function findMatches(q, cb) {
                var substrRegex;
                var matches = [];
                substrRegex = new RegExp(q, 'i');
                $.each(arr, function (i, ele) {
                    if (substrRegex.test(ele)) {
                        matches.push({ value: ele });
                    }                   
                });
                cb(matches);
            };
        };
    </script>
}
