Working with select using AngularJS's ng-options

Question

I have read about it in other posts, but I couldn\'t figure it out.

I have an array,

$scope.items = [
   {ID: \'000001\', Title: \'Chicago\'},
   {ID         


        

Answer 1

For some reason AngularJS allows to get me confused. Their documentation is pretty horrible on this. More good examples of variations would be welcome.

Anyway, I have a slight variation on Ben Lesh's answer.

My data collections looks like this:

items =
[
   { key:"AD",value:"Andorra" }
,  { key:"AI",value:"Anguilla" }
,  { key:"AO",value:"Angola" }
 ...etc..
]

Now

still resulted in the options value to be the index (0, 1, 2, etc.).

Adding Track By fixed it for me:

I reckon it happens more often that you want to add an array of objects into an select list, so I am going to remember this one!

Be aware that from AngularJS 1.4 you can't use ng-options any more, but you need to use ng-repeat on your option tag:

   {{item.value}}
