Introduction

For one of my private projects, I needed a clearable input field component in Ionic (like jquery mobile one). I searched a lot and found some plain Angular clearable input field, but these had too much other dependencies and mostly didn't look that good within Ionic. Then . So I spent some time to create my one.

Features

The ionic-input-clearable component has the following features:

• add clear button on the right side of the input field

Ionic compatibility

Tested on Ionic version 1.3.1

Installation

1. Import the ionic-input-clearable javascript and css file into your HTML file:

<script src="sw2.ionic.input-clearable.js"></script>
<link href="sw2.ionic.input-clearable.css" rel="stylesheet">

2. Add sw2.ionic.input-clearable as a dependency on your Ionic app:

angular.module('myApp', [
  'ionic',
  'sw2.ionic.input-clearable'
]);

Usage

To use the ionic-input-clearable directive you need set add ionic-input-clearable attribute to input field:

<input ng-model="searchkey" type="text" ionic-input-clearable />

REMARK: In order to let the clear button is clickable, please use "div" instead of "label" to wrap your input field.

Options

Add attribute:

"data-hideClearBtnOnBlur": hide the clear button when INPUT is blur

"data-input-clear-btn-class": change clear button class (default: ion-close)

<input ng-model="searchkey" type="text" ionic-input-clearable data-hideClearBtnOnBlur data-input-clear-btn-class="ion-close-circled" />
