A simple directive for enabling preconfigured text snippets in Angular inputs. To see a demo go here: http://jorgerdz.github.io/angusnippets
Install with Bower:
bower install angusnippets
Or download the code, and include the angusnippets.js and angusnippets.css file in your page. Then add the angusnippets module to your Angular App file, e.g.
var app = angular.module('app', ["angusnippets"]);Under your controller, specify an array of objects with all the snippet values you want.
$scope.snippetsAvailable = [
{ title : "Here's the first snippet" },
{ title : "And another one" },
{ title : "One last one" }
];Specify the input where you want snippets to be available using the 'angusnippets' directive at the element level. The 'key' value specifies the trigger character for the snippets to show up (they will only show up if the key value is detected as the first character in the input). 'selectedobject' is used to map the selected snippet to a $scope value.
<angusnippets key="@" snippets="snippetsAvailable" selectedobject="selectedSnippet"></angusnippets>| Attribute | Description | Required | Example |
|---|---|---|---|
| key | Trigger key for showing the snippets | Yes | '@' |
| placeholder | Placeholder text for the search field | No | Type '@' for showing the available snippets |
| selectedobject | Where to store the selected object in your model/controller (like ng-model) | Yes | myObject |
| inputclass | The classes to use for styling the input box | No | form-control |
| snippets | The snippet values. Should be an array of objects | No | countriesList |
###To do
- Activate trigger from any place in the input string, not just the first character
