• Angular >=1.2.18
• ngSanitize module
• jQuery ( optional for older browser support )
• Bootstrap (v3)/Select2/Selectize CSS as appropriate

Browser compatibility starting at Internet Explorer 8 and Firefox 3.6.

There are multiple ways of adding the required files:

1. Clone, build the repository, and include the files

2. Link to a CDN

3. Install via Bower and include files

   bower install angular-ui-select

reference the scripts

• bower_components/angular-ui-select/dist/select.js
• bower_components/angular-ui-select/dist/select.css

For IE8 / FF3.6 support you must include:

  <!--
    IE8 support, see AngularJS Internet Explorer Compatibility https://docs.angularjs.org/guide/ie
    For Firefox 3.6, you will also need to include jQuery and ECMAScript 5 shim
  -->
  <!--[if lt IE 9]>
    <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.11.0/jquery.js"></script>
    <script src="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/es5-shim/2.2.0/es5-shim.js"></script>
    <script>
      document.createElement('ui-select');
      document.createElement('ui-select-match');
      document.createElement('ui-select-choices');
    </script>
  <![endif]-->

For RequireJS, your setup might look like:

require.config({
    paths: {
        'angular': 'bower_components/angular/angular',
        'angular-ui-select': 'bower_components/angular-ui-select/dist/select'
    },
    shim: {
        'angular-ui-select': ['angular']
    }
});

Include the ui.select and ngSanitize modules in your application

var module = angular.module('myapp', ['ui.select', 'ngSanitize']);

The most basic use of the directive in html (plunker)

<ui-select ng-model="selected.value">
    <ui-select-match>
        <span ng-bind="$select.selected.name"></span>
    </ui-select-match>
    <ui-select-choices repeat="item in (itemArray | filter: $select.search) track by item.id">
        <span ng-bind="item.name"></span>
    </ui-select-choices>
</ui-select>

With a related angular controller:

angular.module('app')
.controller('ctrl', ['$scope', function ($scope){
    $scope.itemArray = [
        {id: 1, name: 'first'},
        {id: 2, name: 'second'},
        {id: 3, name: 'third'},
        {id: 4, name: 'fourth'},
        {id: 5, name: 'fifth'},
    ];
    $scope.selected = { value: $scope.itemArray[0] };
}]);

Note: Including additional stylesheets is required, depending on which theme is used, in order to have ui-select render as a dropdown box. The examples show which resources to use.
