feat(clearSearch): Allow users to clear search field by using $rootScope.$broadcast

[ghost]

From Controller call $rootScope.$broadcast('angucomplete-alt:clearSearch');

I get this error: $rootScope is not defined
It is not clear from the Angular documentation how to declare $rootScope. I have only one controller in my angular.module. I tried using $scope, but this did not work.

Could you point me to some sample code?

When you use $rootScope you will have to inject it into your controller the same way you inject $scope:

angular.module('myApp')
  .controller('myCtrl', ['$scope', '$rootScope',... .

Just the dependency injection angular uses.

Thanks. That worked.

***** Note that in the latest code, the broadcast event is now named 'angucomplete-alt:clearInput' *****

I was not clear on syntax of the controller constructor parameters. For others who may need the exact syntax:
myApp.controller("myController", ['$scope', '$rootScope', '$http', function($scope, $rootScope, $http) {
...
}]);
