AngularJS Chosen directive

This directive brings the Chosen jQuery plugin into AngularJS with ngModel and ngOptions integration.

To use, include "localytics.directives" as a dependency in your Angular module. You can now use the "chosen" directive as an attribute on any select element.

• Works with 'ngModel' and 'ngOptions'
• Supports usage of promises in 'ngOptions'
• Provides a 'loading' animation when 'ngOptions' collection is a promise backed by a remote source
• Pass options to Chosen via attributes or by passing an object to the Chosen directive

Similar to $("#states").chosen()

<select chosen multiple id="states">
  <option value="AK">Alaska</option>
  <option value="AZ">Arizona</option>
  <option value="AR">Arkansas</option>    
  <option value="CA">California</option>    
</select>

<select chosen
        data-placeholder="Pick one of these"
        disable-search="true"
        allow-single-deselect="true">
  <option value=""></option>
  <option>This is fun</option>
  <option>I like Chosen so much</option>
  <option>I also like bunny rabbits</option>
</select>

<select multiple
        chosen
        ng-model="state" 
        ng-options="s for s in states">
</select>

Note: don't try to use ngModel with ngRepeat. It won't work. Use ngOptions. It's better that way.

Include chosen-spinner.css and spinner.gif to show an Ajax spinner icon while your data is loading. If the collection comes back empty, the directive will disable the element and show a default "No values available" message. You can customize this message by passing in noResultsText in your options.

angular.module('App', ['ngResource', 'localytics.directives'])
.controller('BeerCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.beers = $resource('api/beers').query()
});

<div ng-controller="BeerCtrl">
  <select chosen
          data-placeholder="Choose a beer"
          no-results-text="'Could not find any beers :('"
          ng-model="beer" 
          ng-options="b for b in beers">
  </select>
</div>
