Im using Angular-ui typeahead component to hit an autocomplete API, and I'm parsing the data I get back into an array called resp
. However, Im not seeing the data getting passed to the autocomplete dropdown in the UI. BTW, the controller has a console.log that displays the data correctly, so i know its returning from the api call.
Here is my controller function:
$scope.getLocationForSearch = function(locationString){
$scope.locationString = locationString;
var url = '/autoComplete/' + locationString ;
$http({
method: 'GET',
url: url
}).then(function successCallback(response) {
console.clear();
var resp = response.data.RESULTS.map(function(item){
console.log(item.name);
return item.name;
});
return resp;
}, function errorCallback(response) {
console.log(response);
});
}
and in my HTML:
<div class="input-group">
<input
type="text" class="form-control" ng-model="asyncSelected" placeholder="Search city or zip code"
uib-typeahead="item for item in getLocationForSearch($viewValue)"/>
<i ng-show="loadingLocations" class="glyphicon glyphicon-refresh"></i>
<div ng-show="noResults">
<i class="glyphicon glyphicon-remove"></i> No Results Found
</div>
<span class="input-group-btn">
<button class="btn btn-default" name="search" ng-model="asyncSelected" type="submit" ng-click="getWeather(asyncSelected)">
<span class="glyphicon glyphicon-search" aria-hidden="true"></span>
</button>
</span>
</div><!-- /input-group -->
There are several posts on here for this same issue but none really answer my specific problem. Any help is appreciated.
Your function getLocationForSearch()
is not good: it has to return a promise to uib-typeahead
directive.
So working code is:
$scope.getLocationForSearch = function(locationString) {
$scope.locationString = locationString;
var url = '/autoComplete/' + locationString ;
return $http({
method: 'GET',
url: url
}).then(function successCallback(response) {
console.clear();
return response.data.results.map(function(item) {
console.log(item.name);
return item.name;
});
}, function errorCallback(response) {
console.log(response);
});
}
