Angular 4 setting selected option in Dropdown

Question

several questions about this and diffrent answeres. But none of them realy answeres the question. So again:

Setting default of a Dropdown select by value isnt workin

Answer 1

Here is my example:

    Contact method
    
        {{ method.label }}
    

And in component you must get values from select:

contactMethods = [
    { id: 1, label: "Email" },
    { id: 2, label: "Phone" }
]

So, if you want select to have a default value selected (and proabbly you want that):

contact = {
    firstName: "CFR",
    comment: "No comment",
    subscribe: true,
    contactMethod: 2 // this id you'll send and get from backend
}
