How to have a default option in Angular.js select box

Answer 1

try this in your angular controller...

$somethingHere = {name: 'Something Cool'};

You can set a value, but you are using a complex type and the angular will search key/value to set in your view.

And, if does not work, try this : ng-options="option.value as option.name for option in options track by option.name"
