This component has methods which allow you to programatically trigger actions. You can trigger these using the evo() selector.

See JavaScript API for more information and a list of shared, global methods.

setData

You can pass an array or key/value object directly to the fuzzy search to use as a data source, or you can pass it an API endpoint and it'll grab it from there.

evo('.js-fuzzy').inputFuzzySearch('setData', {
	source: [
		'foo',
		'bar'
	]
})

evo('.js-fuzzy').inputFuzzySearch('setData', {
	source: {
		foo: 'bar'
	}
})

evo('.js-fuzzy').inputFuzzySearch('setData', {
