$http issue - Values can't be returned before

I'm using Angular Material md-autocomplete in my project. In that I'm getting the suggest listing from the Service Host via ajax call using $http service.

Issue: $http issue - Values can't be returned before a promise is resolved in md-autocomplete Angular Material

My Requirement: I need an updated Suggestion List using remote data sources in md-autocomplete Angular Material - Ajax $http service.

I used the approach as mentioned in Angular Material link https://material.angularjs.org/latest/demo/autocomplete

Source Code:

Scenario 1:

HTML Source Code:

<md-autocomplete flex required
    md-input-name="autocompleteField"
    md-no-cache="true"
    md-input-minlength="3"
    md-input-maxlength="18"
    md-selected-item="SelectedItem"
    md-search-text="searchText"
    md-items="item in querySearch(searchText)"
    md-item-text="item.country" Placeholder="Enter ID" style="height:38px !important;">
    <md-item-template>
        <span class="item-title">
            <span md-highlight-text="searchText" md-highlight-flags="^i"> {{item.country}} </span>
    </md-item-template>
</md-autocomplete>

AngularJS Script:

//bind the autocomplete list when text change
function querySearch(query) {
    var results = [];
    $scope.searchText = $scope.searchText.trim();
    if (query.length >=3) {
        results = LoadAutocomplete(query);
    }
    return results;
}

//load the list from the service call
function LoadAutocomplete(id) {
    var countryList = [];
    $http({
            method: "post",
            url: "https://www.bbminfo.com/sample.php",
            params: {
                token: id
            }
        })
        .success(function (response) {
            countryList = response.records;
        });

        return countryList;
}

Scenario 2:

HTML with AngularJS Source Code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angular_material/1.0.0/angular-material.min.css">
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>

<!-- Angular Material Library -->
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angular_material/1.0.0/angular-material.min.js"></script>
<body>

<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl"> 

<p>Person to Select:</p>

<md-autocomplete
          ng-disabled="isDisabled"
          md-no-cache="noCache"
          md-selected-item="selectedItem"
          md-search-text-change="searchTextChange()"
          md-search-text="searchText"
          md-selected-item-change="selectedItemChange(item)"
          md-items="item in Person"
          md-item-text="item.Name"
          md-min-length="0"
          placeholder="Which is your favorite Person?">
        <md-item-template>
          <span md-highlight-text="ctrl.searchText" md-highlight-flags="^i">{{item.country}}</span>
        </md-item-template>
        <md-not-found>
          No Person matching "{{searchText}}" were found.
        </md-not-found>
      </md-autocomplete>
      <br/>
</div>

<script>
    var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ngMaterial']);

    app.controller('myCtrl', function ($scope, $http, $q) {

        $scope.searchText = "";
        $scope.Person = [];
        $scope.selectedItem = [];
        $scope.isDisabled = false;
        $scope.noCache = false;

        $scope.selectedItemChange = function (item) {
            alert("Item Changed");
        }
        $scope.searchTextChange = function () {

            $http({
                method: "POST",
                url: "https://www.bbminfo.com/sample.php",
                params: {
                    token: $scope.searchText
                }
            })
            .success(function (response) {
                $scope.Person = response.records;
            });
        }

    });
</script>
</body>
</html>

In Scenario 1, I used the function to fetch the filtered list md-items="item in querySearch(searchText)". But in Scenario 2, I used a $scope variable md-items="item in Person"

Kindly refer the Snapshots

Snapshot 1:

Here I'm searching for indian but it shows the result for india. I debugged the issue in Firefox Browser Firebug, see the above Snapshot 1 it shows, the request was sent for the search term indian via POST Method and I got the response of one matching items as a JSON Object successfully, which is shown in the bottom of SnapShot 1

The issue I find out in this case, the Values can't be returned before a promise is resolved

Steps I tried:

Case 1: I used the AngularJS filter in UI md-items="item in Person | filter: searchText", it gives the filtered list of previously fetched remote data not a currently fetched remote data. While on Backspacing the character in the textbox it shows the improper suggestion list.

Case 2: I tried to update the changes in UI by calling $scope.$apply() within a $http service, but it fails. Because $http service calling the $scope.$apply() by default, show it throws me an error Error: [$rootScope:inprog].... Finally in this attempt I failed.

Case 3: I created a function, within the function I'm manually called the $scope.$apply(), within the function I manually pushed and poped one dummy item to the $scope variable which is bind in the md-autocomplete. But I failed in this attempt. Because here also I got a same output as same as in the snapshot.

function Ctrlm($scope) {
    $scope.messageToUser = "You are done!";
    setTimeout(function () {
        $scope.$apply(function () {

            $scope.dummyCntry = [
                {
                    sno: 0,
                    country: ""
                },
            ];

            $scope.Person.push($scope.dummyCntry);

            var index = $scope.Person.indexOf($scope.dummyCntry);
            $scope.Person.splice(index, 1);

        });
    }, 10);
}

Case 4: I did the same approach as like "Case 3" within the $scope.$watchCollection. Here also I got a setback.

$scope.$watchCollection('Person', function (newData, oldDaata) {
    $scope.dummyCntry = [
                {
                    sno: 0,
                    country: ""
                },
            ];

    newData.push($scope.dummyCntry);

    var index = newData.indexOf($scope.dummyCntry);
    newData.splice(index, 1);
});

Case 5: Instead of $http service, I used the jquery ajax call. In that I used the $scope.apply() to update the UI manually. I failed in this attempt once again, here also I got the same output.

$scope.searchTextChange = function () {
    if (($scope.searchText != undefined) && ($scope.searchText != null)) {

        $.ajax({
            type: 'GET',
            url: "https://www.bbminfo.com/sample.php?token=" + $scope.searchText,
            success: function (response) {
                $scope.$apply(function () {
                    $scope.Person = response.records;
                });
            },
            error: function (data) {
                $scope.$apply(function () {
                    $scope.Person = [];
                });
            },
            async: true
        });


    } else {
        $scope.Person = [];
    }
}

In all the attempts I can't able to fix the issue.

Why not just put return countryList inside the success function.

function LoadAutocomplete(id) {
    var countryList = [];
    $http({
            method: "post",
            url: "https://www.bbminfo.com/sample.php",
            params: {
                token: id
            }
        })
        .success(function (response) {
            countryList = response.records;
            return countryList;
        })
        .error(function (response) {
            countryList = [];
            return countryList;
        });
}

edit due to deprecation of .success and .error methods:

function LoadAutocomplete(id) {
    var countryList = [];
    $http({
            method: "post",
            url: "https://www.bbminfo.com/sample.php",
            params: {
                token: id
            }
        })
        .then(function (response) {
            countryList = response.data.records;
            return countryList;
        },function () {
            countryList = [];
            return countryList;
        });
}

I struggled with this as well for a bit. Basically you should actually be returning a promise that returns the content.

This is my "search" function

$scope.searchData = function (searchTxt) {
        return $http.get('/TestSearch', { params: { searchStr: searchTxt } })
            .then(function(response) {

                return response.data;
            });
    };

Also I'm not sure what version of angular you're running but I think .success was deprecated.

And here is my md-autocomplete as well

<md-autocomplete placeholder="Text goes here"
                 md-selected-item="vm.autocomp"
                 md-search-text="searchText"
                 md-items="item in searchData(searchText)"
                 md-item-text="item">
    <span md-highlight-text="searchText">{{item}}</span>
</md-autocomplete>

EDIT1: Sorry original JS was in TypeScript. Fixing that now

The Answer Marked is Correct.

.then() - full power of the promise API but slightly more verbose
.success() - doesn't return a promise but offers slightly more convenient syntax
