npm install angular-auto-complete

bower install angular-auto-complete

Design decisions I had in mind when I started to create my plugin:

• Do not use $scope inside controllers.
• Do not convolute $scope with properties. Use bindToController with controllerAs instead.
• Do not in anyway modify position of the input element in the DOM. This meant no transclusion.
• Keep usage of $scope.$watch to the minimal.

This is my third iteration of the auto-complete plugin. The first was written in core JavaScript and the second as a jQueryUI plugin. It never gets boring!
