jquery-textcomplete is not maintained anymore

[stof]

The maintainer has created a textcomplete package, which does not depend on jQuery, and has stopped maintaining the jquery-textcomplete package. It might be a good idea to switch to the maintained package: https://github.com/yuku-t/jquery-textcomplete vs https://github.com/yuku-t/textcomplete

Emojionearea depends on jquery anyway, also in code there is fixed version of jquery-textcomplete, and it even not last version of jquery-textcomplete.

I like the idea to switch to textcomplete in next major version of emojionearea.

Yeah, my suggestion to switch to the new package is not related to the fact that it does not depend on jQuery. It is based on the fact that it is maintained.

We're currently not able to install emojionearea using bower because jquery-textcomplete no longer resolves.

Hi mervick. I'm running into the same issue of jquery-textcomplete not able to be resolved. Is switching to "textcomplete" something on the horizon?

I basically cannot use emojionearea right now (using v3.0.7).

@glui2001 For what it's worth, I ended up ripping out emojionearea.

@jdq22 Did you replace emojionearea with anything? I have a hard dependency on it.

This is the error I get btw.

@glui2001 Unfortunately no. We just removed emoji picking from our app entirely and will move to displaying the top 5 most common emojis that you can select with a button.

@jdq22 Thx for sharing! How unfortunate to not include this component. I think it's pretty cool.

FYI (as an option), I just downloaded the files and hosted locally. Seems to work just fine!
