$cancelUpdate cancels any debounce action and resets the view value by invoking $render. this method should be invoked before programmatic update to the model of input that might have pending updates due to updateOn or debounced actions. Fixes #6994

Should probably be something like "Cancel an update and reset the input element's value to prevent an update to the $viewValue, which may be caused by a pending debounced event or because the input is waiting for a some future event."

@shahata - thanks for putting this together. It will be great to get this in before the next release so we have a solid feature. Given the potential for confusion when doing programmatic changes, we could do with a new section in the guide that explains how to deal with the various situations that you highlighted.

Also we could do with some more information in the ngModelOptions docs that reference this new $cancelUpdate method and how to use it.

$cancelUpdate cancels any debounce action and resets the view value by invoking $render. this method should be invoked before programmatic update to the model of input that might have pending updates due to updateOn or debounced actions.

Why? It is in the context of this.$setViewValue...

BTW, I was wondering - what do you think about using ctrl everywhere? It will be a bit less clear, but it would minify better. :)

If someone calls $setViewValue as a free function then this would fail, or am I wrong?

I think using ctrl everywhere is a good idea for general safety and consistency, although I suspect that a good minifier might swap out this anyway.

Uglify doesn't swap this and I believe minifiers try not to do that since it is risky (by this you could in theory actually be referring to the context in which the function was invoked and not the context in which it was defined, so swapping this automatically could result in breaking your code in a very hard to debug fashion :) )
