Option to complete tags programmaticaly

[KrisBraun]

Great project! Helped us remove jQuery.

We're seeing users type a tag (email addresses in our case) and then click 'Send' without typing comma or enter to complete the tag. Is there a way we can read any text in progress, or force tag completion?

Hi Kris. Glad to know it's being useful to you. :)

That's the expected behavior given the current implementation, but definitely not the correct one, as you have pointed out. I believe there could be an option to add the current tag when the input field loses focus. What do you think?

If you happen to have another suggestion, please let me know.

Kind regards.

That's exactly what I just hacked in, adding this to the link function of the tagsInput directive:

        input.bind('blur', function(e) {
          if (scope.tryAdd()) {
            scope.$apply();
          }
        });

It turns out that doing that when the input loses focus solves one problem and creates a new one at the same time. When the autocomplete list is visible, the user can select a suggestion by clicking on it, and that triggers the input's blur event, which in turn adds the current text instead of the selected suggestion.

I'll have to figure out how to solve that. I welcome suggestions. :)

Ah, right. I didn't notice it because I've defined my regex for valid email addresses, so the partial value was just discarded.

I think I got a working solution. Will try to add it to version 1.0.
