Ensure tags in the autocomplete input are not in the suggestion-list and visa versa

[charl]

It would be more intuitive if elements are removed from the suggestion-list when they are chosen and successfully added to the autocomplete input. The reverse, removing a tag from the autocomplete inout should add it back to the suggestion-list.

This really helps avoiding you having to traverse elements in the suggestion-list that you've already added to the autocomplete input, and cannot add in again in any case.

After doing some more testing it looks like elements are removed from the suggestion-list under certain circumstances but not others.

Tags that have a space in them, e.g. 'Paulette Cross', are never removed from the suggestion-list while tags with no spaces, e.g. 'SaulWade' are.removed.

Got it.

Looks like the default for replace-spaces-with-dashes is true which will cause this if the data in the suggestion-list has spaces in it.

I assume this has been worked out. Can this issue be closed?

Should the default behaviour not rather be not to replace-spaces-with-dashes? This would most likely be less surprising to new users.

Also, if replace-spaces-with-dashes is on it breaks your internal diff algorithm leading to the issue reported here.

That's arguable. If you use ngTagsInput to simply collect tags - which was the problem this project was trying to solve back when it was started -, then you will probably want the spaces to be replaced with dashes.

I agree that's an issue. I'll add it to the backlog.

Done. #232

Closing due to inactivity.
