How to make md-search-text-change wait for 1000ms before firing a call?

Question

Presently, the md-search-text-change event fires a call every time I type something in . I want to delay this. I've tried using debounce. But that has not worked.

Answer 1

You can use the 'md-delay' attribute of md-autocomplete to achieve this. look at the documentation for more help:

https://material.angularjs.org/1.1.5/api/directive/mdAutocomplete

Answer 2

the best way of doing so is by using AngularJs md-autocomplete directives. You just need to add md-delay="" and/or md-min-length="" (in case you want to start searching after a certain input length).

Hope it helped though a bit late.
