Display values from a source in form of tags

I am using Bootstrap tags input plugin. I want to display some values in form of tags on a specified input field. These values are retreived from db most likely in json format. I followed to use add method as shown in the documentation https://bootstrap-tagsinput.github.io/bootstrap-tagsinput/examples but could not make it work.

My fiddle demo is here: https://jsfiddle.net/Lh4jy9d4/90/ $('input #expertise').tagsinput('add', {id: 1, text: 'javascript' })

As @Siavas mentioned, the filtering was not correct as per your markup. I changed $('input #expertise') to $('#expertise') because the input type had that id.

Your example didn't work because you forgot to initialize the tagsInput. Check this working snippet adapted from their git-hub example. 

        var citynames = new Bloodhound({
            datumTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.obj.whitespace('name'),
            queryTokenizer: Bloodhound.tokenizers.whitespace,
            prefetch: {
                url: 'https://bootstrap-tagsinput.github.io/bootstrap-tagsinput/examples/assets/citynames.json',
                filter: function (list) {
                    return $.map(list, function (cityname) {
                        return { name: cityname };
                    });
                }
            }
        });
        citynames.initialize();

        $('input').tagsinput({
            typeaheadjs: {
                name: 'citynames',
                displayKey: 'name',
                valueKey: 'name',
                source: citynames.ttAdapter()
            }
        });
