Search box in angular js

Question

I want to implement a search box in my angularJs application. As soon as user starts typing some name in the search box , some REST service should be called and it should fetch

Answer 1

Why so much drama, directives, and Glyptodon blood?

Since angular already has

ng-keypress
ng-keyup
ng-keydown

Use any of those to invoke REST service just as you would with ng-click.

HTML

JS

vm.search = search;

function search() {
  // Call your cool REST service and attach data to it
  vm.data = MyCoolService.myGetFunctionWhatever();
  // You can use vm.query ng-model to limit search after 2 input values for example
  //     if(vm.query.length > 2) do your magic
};
