Hi! Having a bit of a problem here

@_req = $.ajax(
  url: app.api('suggest', place)
  dataType: 'json'
  success: _.bind(@renderSuggest, @)
  error: _.bind(@clearSuggest, @)
)

works when

@_req = $.ajax(
  url: app.api('suggest', place)
  success: _.bind(@renderSuggest, @)
  error: _.bind(@clearSuggest, @)
)

doesnt. Server headers are fine, getting unparsed string response from the server anyway.

Tried this as a workaround:

app.dom.doc.on('ajaxBeforeSend', (e, xhr, options)->
  options.dataType = 'json' unless options.dataType
)

Doesnt work either. options already have dataType == 'json'

    What is the Content-type of server response? Is it "application/json"? If it's not, you have to explicitly set dataType in order to have JSON automatically parsed

    Thanks! It should work now. In your case, things should work even without dataType specified explicitly
