Problem with Promise

[koeckc]

Hi,
I integrated your directive and i really like the style and the behaviour.
Everything works nice with local data.
The only problem that i have is that i cant get it to work with remote data.

I followed the instructions on using promises but it does not work ...
I try to use ng-change and a http get request to query the server.
Everytime when i assign the result to the defined promise everything duddenly stops working.. even ng change does not fire anymore.

Do you have a tip or an example how to use your module with remote date ?
thx in advance

Hey @koeckc - can you provide a little example of what you are doing? I am aware that this "promise" thing not is very well written, it is a quick workaround and really needs both a makeover (perhaps real promises) and a working demo / example. I'll take a look at it now / this evening and will comment back.

Thx for the fast response .. maybe this snippets clarify what i want to do

//view code
<input autocomplete="off" bs3-typeahead bs3-source="states" class="form-control" type="text" ng-change="typeAhead()" ng-model="issue.room" name="room" <% unless @can_edit %> disabled="disabled"<% end %> id="room"> </input>

//on controller init
$scope.states = []

$http.get('/api/' + window.customerid + '/projects/' + window.projectid + '/issues' + '/auto_complete_room', {headers: {'Cache-Control': 'no-cache'}}).then(function (result) {
   $scope.states = result.data;
});

 $scope.typeAhead = function () {
   //this returns the promise
   $scope.states = $http.get('/api/' + window.customerid + '/projects/' + window.projectid + '/issues' + '/auto_complete_room',{ headers: { 'Cache-Control' : 'no-cache' } });
 }

 //i also tried with fetching the promise onSuccessCallback

After assigning to the the $scope.states variable nothing works anymore ... but the initial values from controller init work
