let ac = new autocomplete($('#input'), [
	{id: 1, data: 'test1'},
	{id: 2, data: 'test2'},
	{id: 3, data: 'test3'},
	{id: 4, data: 'test4'},

let ac = new autocomplete($('#input'));

// post request
ac.post('/material.json')

// jQuery promise
.then(res=>{
	let list = [];
    
    // populate list[];
	$.each(res.data, (e, data)=>{
		list.push({
			id: data.material_id,
			data: data.particular,
		});
