Issue in updating local model in angular xeditable

Question

I am trying to create a form , where one text field value depends on another text box.

With reference to angularjs, By default xeditable update local model after clicking save.But i would like to update the model instantly and show the updated value in another text box

<span editable-text="user.name" e-ng-model="user.name" e-name="name"></span>
<span editable-text="user.username" e-ng-model="user.username" e-name="username"></span>

@Pravin I think that I found a solution. I had the situation where I needs update the xeditable model when user select the dictionary entry on typeahead input. I was looking the solution and I found the following way:

<span editable-text="p.name" e-name="name" e-form="productForm" e-required
  e-typeahead="product as product.name for product in getProducts($viewValue) | filter:$viewValue | limitTo: 8"
  e-typeahead-editable="true" e-ng-maxlength="256" e-typeahead-focus-first="false"
  e-typeahead-on-select='onSelectProductFromDictionary($item, $model, productForm)'>
     {{ p.name }}
</span>

And the method which update the xeditable data:

    $scope.onSelectProductFromDictionary = function ($item, $model, form) {

        angular.forEach(form.$editables, function(editable) {
            if (editable.name === 'name') {
                return;
            }
            editable.scope.$data = $model.something; // this is a dictionary model
            editable.save(); // move the value from edit input to view xeditable value
            editable.hide(); // hide the specific xeditable input if you needs
        });

    };

I hope it helps.

Thank you for your response. But what i am trying is , when i type value in text box1, it should update text box2 which contains model whose value depends on model1. – Retinitis

that means while typing itself you want the data value to be changed within text box2 – Cortex

My ultimate aim is 3 steps. 1.type some thing in text box1. 2.based on text in textbox1 some function should be performed . 3.based on that it returns some value in text box2. Note: It should be done before clicking save button. – Retinitis
