Limit Angular UI-Bootstrap Typeahead to specific object property

Question

I have the following Angular UI-Bootstrap typeahead working great:

Answer 1

The typeahead directive from the http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/ repo was build to well fit into existing AngularJS ecosystem. This means that this directive tries to re-use as much as possible of syntax, filters and directives already used in AngularJS.

Back to your question - the filtering itself is done by the Angular's filter filter described here: http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.filter:filter The mentioned filter's syntax is flexible enough to limit searches to a selected set of properties:

typeahead="stuff as stuff.name for stuff in stuffs | filter:{name: $viewValue}"

Please notice: filter:{name: $viewValue}
