Support for select2-type tags/multi-select

[jasonaden]

Are there plans for supporting tags or multi-select like current select2? Is there a concept/design behind how to implement this? If we move to this directive rather than the select2 port, we will need this functionality. I would like to discuss ideas around it as maybe we could end up helping to get that functionality built.

Hi!

I've started to implement this, but I have some structural concerns.

First of all, the creation of new items has already been implemented by @malexandre and there is an open PR for that. So only the "multiple" feature needs to be implemented.

I've been playing around abit, and I think the biggest decision for the community is the syntax. Here is a proposition:

  <ui-select multiple ng-model="visitedCountries" ng-disabled="disabled">
    <ui-select-chosen placeholder="Select or search countries in the list...">
        {{$item.name}}
    </ui-select-chosen>
    <ui-select-choices repeat="country in countries | filter: $select.search">
        {{country.name}}
    </ui-select-choices>
  </ui-select>

Where the contents of ui-select-chosen will be transcluded into every "tag".

The functionality otherwise should be just like select2. Tokenizing would be nice to.

Since I have some free time now for a couple of days, I'd really like @tkrotoff's and @ProLoser's input on this as soon as possible, and get a discussion going.

Ok, now I have implemented initial functionality.
For the moment it only works with Select2 theme and only tested in latest stable Chrome.

I'd really appreciate @tkrotoff's and @ProLoser's attention and input when you guys have time.

I think this one duplicates #13 and has some work done in #78
