value from EricHynds Multiselect filter input

Question

I am using EricHynds Multiselect filters plugin. It filters the values present in the dropdown when we enter some text in input field. But I want to send ajax request when user enters some text in input I can handle Ajax data easily but I am unable to fetch input field value.

Till now I am writing following code:

$(".container_filter").multiselect({}).multiselectfilter({
     filter: function(event, matches){
        console.log(event.currentTarget);
    }
});

But from it I am unable to get value of input field. My console.log(event.currentTarget) returns <input type="search" placeholder="Enter keywords">.

When I use console.log(event.currentTarget.val()) then it returns undefined.

Answer 1

According to me

console.log(event.currentTarget.value)

will work fine.

As javascript is working in EricHynds plugin.
