I have a drop down bound to ng-options (which uses an array of objects)
and ng-bind (which uses a string). This doesn't work because object comparison fails. Is there a workaround for this?
<select class="form-control"
ng-model="Person.Gender"
ng-options="a.name for a in dropdowns.gender">
</select>
Thanks
If I'm not mistaken what you want is to bind the name property to the person.gender property of the $scope. What you need to do is:
<select class="form-control"
ng-model="Person.Gender"
ng-options="a.name as a.name for a in dropdowns.gender">
</select>
The first part defines what is actually stored in the ng-model and the second part how is going to display, in this case both displayed value and model value are the same.

I have a <select> element populated with the acceptable values via ng-options and bound to a model with ng-model. It is possible that the model is set to a value that is not acceptable. (It used to be acceptable but no longer is.) In this case AngularJS renders the <select> as if it had an empty item selected.
Is there a way to have it render the selected value even if it is not listed in ng-options? I know I can put a default <option> inside the <select>. It's better than displaying an empty item, but it's a static string. I'd like to have the invalid value displayed.
Interesting problem. I think that you will be able to achieve this with the combination of ngInit directive to set up initial value (it can be missing from the allowed options list) and ngShow to hide it once valid option is selected.
Something like this:
<select
ng-init="preselected = selected"
ng-change="preselected = null"
ng-model="selected"
ng-options="item.id as item.name for item in items">
<option value="" ng-show="preselected">{{preselected}}</option>
</select>

I am trying a very simple thing angular select ng-options binding I only intend to Bind the value and a service will populate the value into my model. the problem is the drop down not selecting the correct item
<pre>
<select class=" form-control" ng-model="Incident.Language"
ng-options="lan.Value as lan.Label for lan in model.DomainData['Language'].FieldValues">
<option value="0">--Select--</option>
</select>
</pre>
Figured it out. Our Service returns the data with Incident.Language as Integer and when binding value is string so the equality was failing
I have this select in AngularJS:
<select id="objectId" name="seccionId" class="form-control" ng-model="arguments.seccion" data-ng-options="item.id as item.valor for item in arguments.objects" required></select>
I like to save both values in scope, but I only save one value.
Any form to save both values?
Thanks!!!
If you want the entire value to be bound to ng-model than you can simply omit the select portion of your ng-options expression.
In this case, it's the item.id part.
data-ng-options="item.valor for item in arguments.objects"
This will ensure the entire item is bound to your ng-model when selecting.
I am assuming you want a multiple select. Have you tried using the attribute multiple:
<select id="objectId" name="seccionId" class="form-control" ng-model="arguments.seccion" multiple="true" data-ng-options="item.id as item.valor for item in arguments.objects" required></select>
I want use select in angularjs.
I have a json that every element have 2 part: name and value. I want show name in dropdown and when user select one of theme, value is copy to ng-model.
$scope.list = [{name:"element1",value:10},{name:"element2",value:20},{name:"element3",value:30}];
For this I have 2 way to use select:
ng-options:
I use ng-options like below:
<select ng-model="model.test" ng-options="element.name for element in list"></select>
It's work correctly, but when I select each of element, I want just value of element is copy to ng-model, but a json is copy to ng-model, like below:
$scope.model.test = {name:"element1",value:1}
I can resolve this problem in angular controller, but I want find a better way that resolve this problem.
For resolove this problem, I use second way:
2.use ng-repeat in options:
<select ng-model="model.test">
<option ng-repeat="element in list" value="{{element.value}}">{{element.name}}</option>
</select>
In second way, just value is copy to ng-model, but as a string type:
$scope.model.test = "10";
I use below code, but all of them return a string value to model.
<option ng-repeat="element in list" value={{element.value}}>{{element.name}}</option>
<option ng-repeat="element in list" value="{{element.value}}|number:0">{{element.name}}</option>
<option ng-repeat="element in list" value={{element.value}}|number:0>{{element.name}}</option>
How can fix this problem?
you can resolve it with ng-options as well
ng-options="element.value as element.name for element in list"
please read this blog to understand more about ng-options.
Also another advantage of ng-options is, it binds the object as opposed to json string in case you want to attach the selected object to ng-model.
Have you tried this :
<select ng-model="model.test" ng-options="element.value element.name for element in list"></select>
btw, if you may have hundreds of records into your list, you should create your own directive, where you would manipulate your DOM with a simple javascript for loop
ng-repeat will be slow to be rendered,
ng-options adds every record into $watch.
I am not getting how the ng-model are connected to the ng-repeat options. How can the code below be converted to an ng-repeat? I can get the ng-repeat work but
ng-selected="{{alternative.code == question.answer}}"
is what I don't understand how to do with the ng-options.
<select ng-model="question.answer">
<option ng-selected="{{alternative.code == question.answer}}"
ng-repeat="alternative in question.alternatives"
value="{{alternative.code}}">{{alternative.label}}</option>
</select>
Use the following:
<select ng-model="question.answer"
ng-options="alternative.code as alternative.label for alternative in question.alternatives">
</select>
if question.alternatives is an array and the following:
<select ng-model="question.answer"
ng-options="alternative.code as alternative.label for (key, alternative) in question.alternatives">
</select>
if it is an object. Both expressions start with the syntax value as label, which tells the <select> what to consider a value (to be bound to model) and what to use as a label (visible for users). The whole business with "this option has that value and is selected when model has it too" is then done automatically. See documentation.
<select ng-model="question.answer" ng-options="alt.code for alt in question.alternatives"></select>
modelValue as optionLabelValue for item in array if 'modelValue as' is ommited modelValue is considered as item object
