Compile Error when ngModel is omitted

[AlexSchwabauer]

In some cases you'd want to only display the autocomplete input without binding a scope variable to it.

Sorry for the delayed response to this but could you outline your use case? Just curious why you would want the autocomplete with nothing bound to it.

+1 My Use Case Scenario: I am using the details attribute to parse the response from the autocomplete (places api) result and save into the following object: location: {city: "city", state: "state"} . So, I do not need the ng-model attribute to bind a scope variable to the input.
