Autocomplete in Ruby on rails 4

In my application I have a drop-down, I want to input a value in a text-field and while inputting it the drop-down should display the option for auto-completing it. Following is the code snippet 

<div class="field">
  <%= f.label :patient_id %><br>
  <%= f.collection_select(:patient_id, Patient.all, :id, :patient_identity, {:prompt => "Select patient"}, :selected => @vital.patient_id, required: true) %>
</div>

In the above code I have the drop-down that display all the option. What changes or what tag should I have to use input-text field and it's auto-complete feature.

You can use jquery-ui autocomplete. And then just set up your controller to return a json response with the data you want. Check out this blog post. Hope it helps.
