ng-Autocomplete-Validation

An AngularJS directive for adding Google Places Autocomplete to an input text element, based on Will Palahnuk directive.

This fork allow the address validation : input.$valid will be false as long as the user has not selected an address provided by the Google API. To use this, add required="required" to your input tag.

Requirements

AngularJS >= 1.2 (Uses optional directive parameters) Tested with angularJS 1.2.21

Limitations

You can now set an initial value using ng-model. Using the ng-model to set the textbox value will not trigger the autocomplete query.
