Check out the examples page to learn more: http://indrimuska.github.io/angular-selector.

Features

• No-jQuery Required
  Angular Selector is a full native Angular directive, so you can use it without have to include any other library (except AngularJS, of course!).
• Skinnable
  You can define a template for the items in the dropdown list and a template for selected items.
• RTL Support
  To use it in with any kind of text direction.
• Remote Resource Loading
  Fetch your data from an external source and use it in your application.
• From HTML <option> to JS object
  Fill your <select> from server-side ad use data-attributes for every option you have, then Angular Selector performs for you the conversion to a simple array of objects.
• Custom Option Creation
  You can create new options and add them to the list, just by hitting Enter.
• Keyboard support
  Move up and down the dropdown list using keyboard arrows. Select highlighted item pressing Enter. Remove last selected item with Del key.
• Responsive
  Perfect for use in mobile environments.

• Just AngularJS!

Examples

Look at these.

Options

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
model	Property		Two-way binding property that models the select view.
name	String		Input name attribute.
disable	Boolean	false	Enable/disable the select. Note the name is disable not disabled to avoid collisions with the HTML5 disabled attribute.
disableSearch	Boolean	false	Enable/disable the search input field.
require	Boolean	false	Sets required validation. Note the name is require not required to avoid collisions with the HTML5 required attribute.
multi	Boolean	false	Allows to select more than one value. Note the name is multi not multiple to avoid collisions with the HTML5 multiple attribute.
limit	Integer	Infinity	Maximum number of selectable items when multi is true.
placeholder	String		Optional placeholder text to display if input is empty.
options	Array	[]	Set of options to display. Each object must contain a label key and a value key, otherwise you need to use a custom template (viewItemTemplate and dropdownItemTemplate) or change the default values of valueAttr and labelAttr properties.
valueAttr	String	null	Name of the value key in options array. This also sets the type of result for the model: if you don't set this attribute (null by default) the entire object option is returned, otherwise it will be returned only the selected property.
labelAttr	String	"label"	Name of the label key in options array.
groupAttr	String	"group"	Name of the optgroup label key in options array. It allows to group items by the selected key. Items have to be already sorted to see the groups just one time.
debounce	Integer	0	Debounce model update value in milliseconds.
rtl	Boolean	false	Two-way bindable attribute to set Right-To-Left text direction.
api	Object	{}	This object is equipped with the methods for interacting with the selector. Check out the "APIs" example.
create	Boolean or Function or Promise		Allows users to type the label of their own options and push them into the list. You can pass a function that returns the full format of the option, using input as parameter, a Promise, or set it to true to let Angular Selector create an object with the default properties given by valueAttr and labelAttr. Check out "Create custom options" and "Create custom options (using Promise)" examples.
change	Function		Callback fired every time the selected values change. It provides two parameters: newValue and oldValue.
remote	Object or Promise	{ method: 'GET', cache: true, params: {} }	You can use remote data fetching with the native $http service or with your own custom service. In the first case this parameter must be the configuration object to pass to the native $http service (docs). In the second case, remote is a function that returns a Promise object.
remoteParam	String	"q"	If remote attribute is used with the native $http service, this parameter is the name of the query key in the params object. You should use this to perform server-side filtering.
remoteValidation	Object or Promise	{ method: 'GET', cache: true, params: {} }	This should be used to perform validation after a "manual" update of the model. It has the same structure of the remote property, check out "Remote fetching and validation" example.
remoteValidationParam	String	"value"	If remoteValidation attribute is used with the native $http service, this parameter is the name of the query key in the params object.
removeButton	Boolean	true	Two-way bindable attribute to show the remove button (cross icon).
softDelete	Boolean	false	If disableSearch is false, restores the last selected input text (using labelAttr attribute) after pressing Backspace.
closeAfterSelection	Boolean	false	Close dropdown after selecting an item.
viewItemTemplate	String	"selector/item-default.html"	Template URL for the selected item(s).
dropdownItemTemplate	String	"selector/item-default.html"	Template URL for each item in the dropdown list.
dropdownCreateTemplate	String	"selector/item-create.html"	Template URL for the dropdown element for the new items.
dropdownGroupTemplate	String	"selector/group-default.html"	Template URL for each group (header) in the dropdown list.
