AngularJS: scrollable typeahead input field

Question

My HTML

<div class="form-group">
    <label class='control-label col-md-4' for='id_paymentCurrency'>{{'PAYMENT_CURRENCY' | translate}}</label>
    <div class='col-md-4'> 
        <div id="scrollable-dropdown-menu">
        <input type="text" class="form-control" data-trim-value="false" ng-trim="false" id ='id_paymentCurrency' ng-model="vm.data.paymentCurrency"  typeahead-append-to-body="true" required
        typeahead-editable="false"
        uib-typeahead="currency.code for currency in vm.getCurrencies($viewValue)"ng-disabled="disabled" />
    </div>   
  </div>  
</div>  

My CSS

#scrollable-dropdown-menu .tt-menu {
   max-height: 150px;
   overflow-y: auto;
 }

I'm using angular 1.x and typeahead that comes with angular-bootsrap, I can't make the scrollbar to appear.

Answer 1

The problem is with your selector. Try this one:

#scrollable-dropdown-menu .dropdown-menu {
    max-height: 150px;
    overflow-y: auto;
}

You can check that it is working as expected in this fiddle

Answer 2

The following seems to be working fine. Check the working example below:

angular.module('myApp', ['ui.bootstrap']);

function TypeaheadCtrl($scope) {

    $scope.selected = undefined;
    $scope.states = ['Alabama', 'Alaska', 'Arizona', 'Arkansas', 'California', 'Colorado', 'Connecticut', 'Delaware', 'Florida', 'Georgia', 'Hawaii', 'Idaho', 'Illinois', 'Indiana', 'Iowa', 'Kansas', 'Kentucky', 'Louisiana', 'Maine', 'Maryland', 'Massachusetts', 'Michigan', 'Minnesota', 'Mississippi', 'Missouri', 'Montana', 'Nebraska', 'Nevada', 'New Hampshire', 'New Jersey', 'New Mexico', 'New York', 'North Dakota', 'North Carolina', 'Ohio', 'Oklahoma', 'Oregon', 'Pennsylvania', '49503', 'Rhode Island', 'South Carolina', 'South Dakota', 'Tennessee', 'Texas', 'Utah', 'Vermont', 'Virginia', 'Washington', 'West Virginia', 'Wisconsin', 'Wyoming'];
}

angular.module('myApp').controller('TypeaheadCtrl', TypeaheadCtrl);

#scrollable-dropdown-menu .dropdown-menu {
   max-height: 150px;
   overflow-y: auto;
 }
