Installation

npm install ng2-completer --save

Usage

The module you want to use ng2-completer in must import Ng2CompleterModule and FormsModule (to use the ngModel directive on ng2-completer). Ng2CompleterModule provides the CompleterService, and declares the ng2-completer directive.

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { BrowserModule } from '@angular/platform-browser';
import { FormsModule } from "@angular/forms";
import { AppComponent } from './app.component';
import { Ng2CompleterModule } from "ng2-completer";
 
@NgModule({
  imports: [
      BrowserModule,
      Ng2CompleterModule,
      FormsModule,
  ],
  declarations: [ AppComponent ],
  bootstrap: [ AppComponent ]
})
export class AppModule { }

Add ng2-completer to your component and create a data source:

import { Component } from '@angular/core';
import { CompleterService, CompleterData } from 'ng2-completer';
 
@Component({
  selector: 'my-component',
  template: `<h1>Search color</h1>
            <ng2-completer [(ngModel)]="searchStr" [dataService]="dataService" [minSearchLength]="0"></ng2-completer>`
})
export class MyComponent {
 
  private searchStr: string;
  private dataService: CompleterData;
  private searchData = [
    { color: 'red', value: '#f00' },
    { color: 'green', value: '#0f0' },
    { color: 'blue', value: '#00f' },
    { color: 'cyan', value: '#0ff' },
    { color: 'magenta', value: '#f0f' },
    { color: 'yellow', value: '#ff0' },
    { color: 'black', value: '#000' }
  ];
 
  constructor(private completerService: CompleterService) {
    this.dataService = completerService.local(this.searchData, 'color', 'color');
  }
}

ng2-completer uses rxjs stream as data sources. There are 2 ready made data sources that can be used to fetch local and remote data but it's also possible to provide a custom source that generates a stream of items.

System.js configuration

Add the following to System.js map configuration:

   var map = {
       ...
       'ng2-completer''node_modules/ng2-completer/ng2-completer.umd.js'
   }
