Input autocomplete with XHR

[JavierMartinz]

Hi there,

I have been looking for a kind of input autocomplete based on XHR to my API with queries and ng-change events. I finally get something like I was looking for with DATALISTs and INPUTs. It worked in Google Chrome, but when I were going to try in iOS simulator there was no “dropdown-list” in it.

Is there any other option? I didn’t see anything on ionic.

Thanks you!

This is one good example of what you are looking for, but there is nothing in Ionic currently for this.

Yeah, that’s what I was looking for. The point is that apparently is not tested on mobile browers. I also heard usability issues with mobile experience.

No outright built-in solutions, but here are some previous discussions:

How do i add search suggestions using ionic?

Does anyone have an example of this? I got the typeahead in angular.ui-bootstrap to work, but I don’t like the tool tip results. I really like what max is suggesting but I can’t figure out how to do it. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!

I used twitter’s typeahead.js in a few web app, and it looks like it would work well in ionic, but I’m wondering if there are better alternatives, the article below explains an interesting approach for search suggestions in mobile apps :

How to create a search engine?

How to create a search engine? I found some code examples but the search does not work In javascript I added to the input onkeypress and call a function that connects to the server and pull data Because I’m new working with ionic and angular I do not want to destroy their way of working.
