How to set a selected option of a dropdown list control using angular JS
AngularjsDrop Down-MenuAngular NgmodelSelectedAngularjs Problem Overview
I am using Angular JS and I need to set a selected option of a dropdown list control using angular JS. Forgive me if this is ridiculous but I am new with Angular JS
Here is the dropdown list control of my html
<select ng-required="item.id==8 && item.quantity > 0" name="posterVariants"
ng-show="item.id==8" ng-model="item.selectedVariant"
ng-change="calculateServicesSubTotal(item)"
ng-options="v.name for v in variants | filter:{type:2}">
</select>
After it gets populated I get
<select ng-options="v.name for v in variants | filter:{type:2}" ng-change="calculateServicesSubTotal(item)"
ng-model="item.selectedVariant" ng-show="item.id==8" name="posterVariants"
ng-required="item.id==8 && item.quantity > 0" class="ng-pristine ng-valid ng-valid-required">
<option value="?" selected="selected"></option>
<option value="0">set of 6 traits</option>
<option value="1">5 complete sets</option>
</select>
How can I set the control for value="0"
to be selected?
Angularjs Solutions
Solution 1 - Angularjs
I hope I understand your question, but the ng-model
directive creates a two-way binding between the selected item in the control and the value of item.selectedVariant
. This means that changing item.selectedVariant
in JavaScript, or changing the value in the control, updates the other. If item.selectedVariant
has a value of 0
, that item should get selected.
If variants
is an array of objects, item.selectedVariant
must be set to one of those objects. I do not know which information you have in your scope, but here's an example:
JS:
$scope.options = [{ name: "a", id: 1 }, { name: "b", id: 2 }];
$scope.selectedOption = $scope.options[1];
HTML:
<select data-ng-options="o.name for o in options" data-ng-model="selectedOption"></select>
This would leave the "b" item to be selected.
Solution 2 - Angularjs
I don't know if this will help anyone or not but as I was facing the same issue I thought of sharing how I got the solution.
You can use track by attribute in your ng-options
.
Assume that you have:
variants:[{'id':0, name:'set of 6 traits'}, {'id':1, name:'5 complete sets'}]
You can mention your ng-options
as:
ng-options="v.name for v in variants track by v.id"
Hope this helps someone in future.
Solution 3 - Angularjs
If you assign value 0 to item.selectedVariant
it should be selected automatically.
Check out sample on http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:select which selects red color by default by simply assigning $scope.color='red'
.
Solution 4 - Angularjs
i see here already wrote good answers, but sometime to write the same in other form can be helpful
<div ng-app ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<select ng-model="referral.organization" ng-options="c for c in organizations"></select>
</div>
<script type='text/javascript'>
function MyCtrl($scope) {
$scope.organizations = ['a', 'b', 'c', 'd', 'e'];
$scope.referral = {
organization: $scope.organizations[2]
};
}
</script>
Solution 5 - Angularjs
If you have a Users as response or a Array/JSON you defined, First You need to set the selected value in controller, then you put the same model name in html. This example i wrote to explain in easiest way. Simple way
Simple example
Inside Controller:
$scope.Users = ["Suresh","Mahesh","Ramesh"];
$scope.selectedUser = $scope.Users[0];
Your HTML
<select data-ng-options="usr for usr in Users" data-ng-model="selectedUser">
</select>
complex example
Inside Controller:
$scope.JSON = {
"ResponseObject":
[{
"Name": "Suresh",
"userID": 1
},
{
"Name": "Mahesh",
"userID": 2
}]
};
$scope.selectedUser = $scope.JSON.ResponseObject[0];
Your HTML
<select data-ng-options="usr.Name for usr in JSON.ResponseObject" data-ng-model="selectedUser"></select>
<h3>You selected: {{selectedUser.Name}}</h3>
Solution 6 - Angularjs
It can be usefull. Bindings dose not always work.
<select id="product" class="form-control" name="product" required
ng-model="issue.productId"
ng-change="getProductVersions()"
ng-options="p.id as p.shortName for p in products">
</select>
For example. You fill options list source model from rest-service. Selected value was known befor filling list and was set. After executing rest-request with $http list option be done. But selected option is not set. By unknown reasons AngularJS in shadow $digest executing not bind selected as it shuold be. I gotta use JQuery to set selected. It`s important! Angular in shadow add prefix to value of attr "value" for generated by ng-repeat optinos. For int it is "number:".
$scope.issue.productId = productId;
function activate() {
$http.get('/product/list')
.then(function (response) {
$scope.products = response.data;
if (productId) {
console.log("" + $("#product option").length);//for clarity
$timeout(function () {
console.log("" + $("#product option").length);//for clarity
$('#product').val('number:'+productId);
//$scope.issue.productId = productId;//not work at all
}, 200);
}
});
}
Solution 7 - Angularjs
Try the following:
JS file
this.options = {
languages: [{language: 'English', lg:'en'}, {language:'German', lg:'de'}]
};
console.log(signinDetails.language);
HTML file
<div class="form-group col-sm-6">
<label>Preferred language</label>
<select class="form-control" name="right" ng-model="signinDetails.language" ng-init="signinDetails.language = options.languages[0]" ng-options="l as l.language for l in options.languages"><option></option>
</select>
</div>

This is the code what I used for the set selected value
countryList: any = [{ "value": "AF", "group": "A", "text": "Afghanistan"}, { "value": "AL", "group": "A", "text": "Albania"}, { "value": "DZ", "group": "A", "text": "Algeria"}, { "value": "AD", "group": "A", "text": "Andorra"}, { "value": "AO", "group": "A", "text": "Angola"}, { "value": "AR", "group": "A", "text": "Argentina"}, { "value": "AM", "group": "A", "text": "Armenia"}, { "value": "AW", "group": "A", "text": "Aruba"}, { "value": "AU", "group": "A", "text": "Australia"}, { "value": "AT", "group": "A", "text": "Austria"}, { "value": "AZ", "group": "A", "text": "Azerbaijan"}];
for (var j = 0; j < countryList.length; j++) {
//debugger
if (countryList[j].text == "Australia") {
console.log(countryList[j].text);
countryList[j].isSelected = 'selected';
}
}
