typeahead Angular Module

Very barebone angular typeahead module. Creates an autocomplete for input fields

Install

Copy the typeahead.js and typeahead.css file into your project and add the following line with the correct path:

	<script src="/path/to/scripts/typeahead.js"></script>
	<script src="/path/to/scripts/typeahead.css"></script>

Alternatively, if you're using bower, you can add this to your component.json (or bower.json):

	"angular-typeahead-basic": "~0.0.1"

And add this to your HTML:

	<script src="components/angular-typeahead-basic/typeahead.js"></script>
	<script src="components/angular-typeahead-basic/typeahead.css"></script>

Note that the style is very minimal, it's up to you to make it fit your need.

Usage

	<typeahead>
		<ul>
				<li ng-repeat="value in autocompleteValues">{{value}}</li>
		</ul>
	</typeahead>

And don't forget to add the module to your application

	angular.module("myApp", ["typeahead"])

Every attribute that you add to the typeahead tag will be put to the input tag. Note that the default type for input is text, but it can be changed, for example <typeahead type="email">

Options

• show-if-empty You can decide to keep the list visible when no input is entered by adding the show-if-empty attribute like this:

    	<typeahead type="email" show-if-empty>
  

• empty-message You can customize the message to display if there is no results. Defaults to "No results found" Leave empty or set to "" to remove the message You can insert the search result like this:

    	<typeahead placeholder="Enter the name of a car manufacturer" ng-model="obj.name" empty-message="Never heard of a {{obj.name}} car">
  

Event

The Event "typeahead:input" will be sent when the input is selected, so you can register to the event this way (the demo includes that too):

	$scope.$on("typeahead:input", function(e, input) {...});

Demo

Try the (very simple) demo. How to run the demo? Simple...

	git clone git@github.com:standup75/typeahead.git
	cd typeahead
	npm install && bower install
	grunt server

This should open your browser at http://localhost:9000 where the demo now sits.
