Can't edit values set by a promise

[8bitDesigner]

Check out this JSFiddle - http://jsfiddle.net/pP2jZ/1/

I'm assigning a user to the view, which Angular, through some black magic, handles, however when I use angular-xeditable to change the value, the original value is preserved, and my edit is lost.

No 'onbeforesave' or 'onaftersave' callback fires, so I can't intercept the save attempt and return a wrapped promise with the updated value.

I'm not gonna lie, I have no idea how this should be fixed, but, as Angular supports passing promises directly to views, I figured it was worth documenting this at least.

@8bitDesigner good point!
Assigning value to promise was fixed in current angular 1.2, see angular/angular.js#2854
I've replaced it in your fiddle and now it works:

Also there are two issues you will find:

1. editable-empty class still applied even if promise resolved with non-empty value. I'll fix it in 0.1.5.
2. status not shown correctly when using showStatus() method. It's because inside used direct access to $scope.user.status that is pormise and cannot be accessed directly (in fact, value is in $scope.user.$$v ).
   The solution is to put expression right into template - then angular will resolve everything automatically, see my fiddle third sample:

{{ (statuses|filter:{value: user.status||0})[0].text || 'Not set' }}

Oh brilliant, thanks, mate!
