Bug: Searchbox does not allow use of directives in template

[blowsie]

Using the searchbox template works for css classes and so on, but does not work with angular directives.

eg. (ng-keypress in this scenario doesn't work, any other directive I tried also doesn't work)

 <script type="text/ng-template" id="searchbox.tpl.html">
        <input type="text" placeholder="Keypress broken" ng-keypress="myFunc($event)">
 </script>

@blowsie i implemented ng-model a while back, there's an example on how to use that in the examples folder. I haven't looked at implementing other directives. I'll take a look, but if you want to dig in and create a PR that would be awesome too. Which other directives would you want to use?

@kandizzy Thanks!

I did take a look and tried implementing $compile, but it did not achieve what I had wanted.

• For my use case it would be great if the event directives worked. eg ng-keypress, ng-change etc.
• For a more generic solution I think it would be great if you could apply any angular or custom directives.

@blowsie feel free to add this extra functionality to the directive via a PR . @kandizzy is the main driver of it; but should could use some support.

@nmccready Sadly I can't figure out what the actual problem is, any pointers anyone?

Ill try and take a look

here's some info on how ng-model works. adding a whole bunch of directives this way is not ideal, I'll take a look at it again.

$compile is called on the template here:
https://github.com/angular-ui/angular-google-maps/blob/master/src/coffee/directives/search-box.coffee#L54

to make ng-model work i passed it from the directive here:
