Documentation

angular-smarty

Autocomplete UI written with Angular JS.

Installation

bower install angular-smarty

Configuration

Configuration is handled in smarty-config.js which is injected into the main module in smarty.js. The main configuration variable is the function getSmartySuggestions that returns a promise containing the suggestions to be used in the autocomplete dropdown list. The default getSmartySuggestions uses a url endpoint for a backend service that returns suggestions in the following format: [{Name: suggestion1}, {Name: suggestion:2}, etc.].

Usage

Include smarty-config.js and smarty.js in that order in your html. In your main Angular module, inject angular-smarty, or if you're not using Angular elsewhere on your page, include angular.bootstrap(angular.element("body"), ["angular-smarty"]); in a script tag in your html and don't forget that Angular is a dependency.

$(function() {
    angular.bootstrap(angular.element("body"), ["angular-smarty"]);
});

Model your html after the following:

<body ng-controller="SmartyController">
    <div class="container-main">
        <h1>angular-smarty demo</h1>
        <div class="container-autocomplete">
            <input type="text" smarty-input select="setSelected(x)"
                index="selected" list-items="suggestions" close="suggestionPicked()"
                selection-made="selectionMade" ng-model="prefix"></input>
            <div smarty-suggestions-box></div>
            <input type="text" focus-me focus-when="{{selectionMade}}"></input>
        </div>
    </div>
</body>
