AJAX call about angular-multi-select HOT 2 CLOSED

Hi @mhoude ,

Unfortunately the current version does not support data population using AJAX.

I have this feature in mind but probably will only implement it on the next releases.

from angular-multi-select.

On a second thought, this hack is not pretty but might work:

In your controller:

1. Prepare an empty array variable for the input model, say $scope.inputModel
2. Not necessary, but you can set a simple flag, say $scope.gotData = false;

In your view:

1. Create a text box for your search input. Put an event listener or on-change here, calling an AJAX function to populate the $scope.inputModel as the user types something. If there's data, set $scope.gotData to true. If not, set to false.
2. Create an instance of this multi-select directive (you can remove the filter element if you want to), but disable it until the AJAX call from number (1) returns something (or after the input model is populated). You can use is-disabled="!gotData" attribute to do this.
