Token limit in Jquery token input

Question

This tokeninput is from http://loopj.com/jquery-tokeninput/
I see the tutorial from http://railscasts.com/episodes/258-token-fields-revised

As i am using it in many places i need sometime only one value selection while in others multiple values. It is the code for multiple value selction. Now i want it to search only once and submit only one value. Is there any way to code it in my coffescript file to select only one value and stop?

my code for customers.js.coffee
jQuery ->
  $('#customer_plan_tokens').tokenInput '/plans.json'
    theme: 'facebook'
    prePopulate: $('#customer_plan_tokens').data('load')

my code for _form.html.erb for cusomers is
   <div class="form-inputs-right">

            Projects: <%= f.text_field :plan_tokens, data: {load: @customer.plans}, :label => "Projects" %>
        </div>

There is an option in JQueryToken input called as "tokenLimit"....You can set this value to 1 in places where you have to enter only one value. In the other places, you can set the value of token limits accordingly.

Please refer to : http://loopj.com/jquery-tokeninput/

Search for "tokenLimit" for more details. Hope this helps.

You need to set the tokenLimit in order to restrict the number of tokens. Just assign the value and it will do the job for you. – Sri Murthy Upadhyayula Feb 12 '13 at 09:37
any workin example. since i am using token gem i could not change js of token. So any working code that i can add manually later where i need this – regmiprem Feb 12 '13 at 09:39
Just add tokenLimit: 1 option to your Jquery tokenInput function call and it should work fine. – Sri Murthy Upadhyayula Feb 12 '13 at 10:04
