AngularJS object as selected input for typeahead

I have input field which I am using for autocomplete and populate on the fly by executing http requests. I am getting such object as example:

{
   id:1,
   name:'ABC'
}

I want to display name for a end user but later on when input has been selected I want to use it as id in my further processing. But ng-model converts my object into the string and I loose my id.

In general all works fine but my issue is that when user select something, lets say string "ABC" it means nothing for me unless I can tied it to "ID" which has been returned by my API. Only if I know ID I can continue future processing.

Could you please help me to figure out, what should I do in order to capture fromSelected as object but still show friendly text to user?

Thanks for any help!

Code:

HTML:

<input type="text" ng-model="fromSelected" placeholder="Country, city or airport" typeahead="place.readableName for place in getPlace($viewValue, 'en')" typeahead-loading="loadingLocations" typeahead-no-results="noResults" class="form-control">

JS:

app.controller('PlaceController', function($scope, $http, searchData) {


    $scope.fromSelected = '';
    $scope.toSelected = '';

    $scope.$watch('fromSelected', function(newValue, oldValue){
        if (newValue !== oldValue) searchData.setTravelFrom(newValue);
    });


    $scope.$watch('toSelected', function(newValue, oldValue){
        if (newValue !== oldValue) searchData.setTravelTo(newValue);
    });


    // Any function returning a promise object can be used to load values asynchronously
    $scope.getPlace = function(term, locale) {
        return $http.get('http://localhost:8080/api/places/search', {
            params: {
                term: term,
                locale: locale
            }
        }).then(function(response){
            return response.data.map(function(item){

                return {
                    'id': item.id,
                    'name': item.name,
                    'readableName':  item.name + ' (' + item.id + ')'
                };
            });
        });
    };

});
