Setting default value in select drop-down using Angularjs

Question

I have an object as below. I have to display this as a drop-down:

var list = [{id:4,name:\"abc\"},{id:600,name:\"def\"},{id:200,name:\"xyz\"}]

Answer 1

When you use ng-options to populate a select list, it uses the entire object as the selected value, not just the single value you see in the select list. So in your case, you'd need to set

$scope.object.setDefault = {
    id:600,
    name:"def"
};

or

$scope.object.setDefault = $scope.selectItems[1];

I also recommend just outputting the value of $scope.object.setDefault in your template to see what I'm talking about getting selected.

{{object.setDefault}}
