angular-delay

Delay execution of a ngChange callback. All credit goes to "Doug R" from this StackOverflow discussion.

Installing

bower install angular-delay

Using

Include the package in your application:

angular.module('app', ['ngDelay']);

<input ng-model="search" ng-change="updateResults()" ng-delay="1500" />

This waits 1.5 seconds after the search has been changed before performing the ng-change callback.

Deprecated in Angular 1.3.x

This is useful for Angular 1.2.x, but it is deprecated with Angular 1.3.x with the introduction of ng-model-options where you can now just do the following to have the same effect as ng-delay="1500"

  <input ng-model="search" ng-model-options="{debounce: 1500}" />

Read more about ng-model-options in the Angular docs.
