Answer 1

You can also pass function into suorce instead of api url.

$("#location").autocomplete({
    source: 'property-location/?city=' + $('[name=city]').val() + $(this).val(),
    source: function(request, response) {
        $.getJSON('property-location/', {
            term: extractLast(request.term),
            city: $('[name=city]').val()
        }, response);
    }
});
