Typeahead.js: What exactly is Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace?

Created on 24 Nov 2014  路  2Comments  路  Source: twitter/typeahead.js

I am trying to understand how to use Bloodhound but the documentation feels incomplete. What exactly is the "Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace"? Can/should I write my own tokenizer function? Are there other options? how does it compare to a simple substring matcher?

Here's a better explanation of tokenization: https://github.com/twitter/typeahead.js/blob/master/doc/migration/0.10.0.md#tokenization-methods-must-be-provided

I think it just normalizes the query and data source by stripping whitespace. So if the data was "war rabbit" and you typed "warrab" then it would be able to match.
