Your function $scope.getStory() doesn't actually return anything, your return line return data.ResponseData; is nested within another function.

The uib-typeahead directive is able to work with promises so you just need to return the promise from your function.

$scope.getStory = function (val)
{
    return storyService.GetStoryByName(cacheService.project.projectId, val).success(function (data)
    {
        if (data.ResponseStatus)
            return data.ResponseData;

        toastr.error(data.ErrorData.Error);

        return [];
    });
};

You can also add another property to the directive, typeahead-loading="isLoading", that will toggle whilst the promise resolves. It can be used to show/hide loading spinners for example!
