Add new data to typeahead result on scroll

Question

I'm using angular bootstrap typeahead. I would like to add a functionality for infinite scroll in that, for that i have added a small directive for scroll functionality and some changes in typeahead template, scroll directive works as expected but typeahead not updating a view after result is update.

My input is like :

<input type="text" ng-model="variable" placeholder="Search..." typeahead="obj as obj.text for obj in getObject($viewValue)" typeahead-wait-ms="500" />

typeahead template :

<ul class="dropdown-menu typeahead-custom" ng-scroll="getObject('{{query}}')" ng-scroll-direction="down" ng-show="isOpen()" ng-style="{top: position.top+'px', left: position.left+'px'}" style="display: block;" role="listbox" aria-hidden="{{!isOpen()}}">
    <li ng-repeat="match in matches track by $index" ng-class="{active: isActive($index) }" ng-mouseenter="selectActive($index)" ng-click="selectMatch($index)" role="option" id="{{match.id}}" should-focus="isActive($index)">
        <div typeahead-match index="$index" match="match" query="query" template-url="templateUrl"></div>
    </li>
</ul>

and getObject Function :

$rootScope.lastResult = [];
$rootScope.getObject = function(str) {
    return  $http({
        url: "someUrl",
        method: "post",
        headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
        data: {str: str, page_limit: 10}
    }).then(function(response) {
        $.merge($rootScope.lastResult, response.data.data);
        return $rootScope.lastResult;
    });
};

when I type something in typeahead input it works fine, but when i scroll into the typeahead template it calls a function and updating lastResult variable but didn't updating a DOM element of typeahead.

Any help? Please....

Please try this one !!

$rootScope.lastResult = [];
$rootScope.getObject = function(str) {
    return  $http({
        url: "someUrl",
        method: "post",
        headers: {'Content-Type': 'application/json'},
        data: {str: str, page_limit: 10}
    }).then(function(response) {
        $rootScope.$apply(function(){
         $.merge($rootScope.lastResult, response.data.data);
        });
        return $rootScope.lastResult;
    });
};

I had written something similar but instead of using scroll, there was a button which was clicked.

UI Bootstrap does not expose any API of their directives and as such I was required to extend their template, and add an additional controller via a directive which would manipulate the data as sent to the type ahead directive.

In short, it was dirty, and I would recommend trying to find another library for type ahead functionality other than UI Bootstrap.

check whether you are binding variable of rootscope or scope. after any change in scope or rootscope just apply it just like $scope.apply(). so it'll call $apply/$digest internally and reflect it in UI.

To get this to work, I had to edit the UI bootstrap source, adding an event listener to the UibTypeaheadController. Above the getMatchesAsync function:

originalScope.$on('loadMore', function() {
  hasFocus = true;
  getMatchesAsync(modelCtrl.$viewValue);
});

When the user scrolls to the bottom, I emit the load more event scope.$emit('loadMore'). This allows the list of matches to be updated on scroll.
