How to autofill/autocomplete in ionic text input without extra plugin/library

ionic-v1
1

Hi every one!
I want autocomplete/autofill in ionic text input and I don’t want to use any extra plugin/library.

This is very common feature and ionic should have built-in functionality of autofill.
plz help…

Why should ionic provide an autofill option?

It is more like suggesting… It depends on your purpose.
If you need it for suggesting search -> implement it (a container below your input field with the suggested search results.)

In that box is a list with a ng-click, that triggers a function to update your ngModel of you input field.

Why extra plugin all in all. The most difficult part is the positioning of the container below the input field.
But no magic there… if you are know things about css and position absolut ;).

Is there some reason you can’t use an premade Angular directive?
