    AngularJS Select

    In AngularJS, you can create a dropdown list (select box) based on items in an
    array, or an object.

    Using ng-options

    You should use the ng-option directive to create a dropdown list, based on an
    object or an array in AngularJS.

    See this example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <script
    src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
    <body>
    <div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
    <select ng-model="selectedName" ng-options="x for x in names">
    </select>
    </div>
    <script>
    var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
    app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.names = ["Java", "PHP", ".Net", "AngularJS", "C/C++"];
    });
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    Note:

    You can also use the ng-repeat directive to make the same dropdown list as ng-
    options.

    See this example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <script
    src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
    <body>
    <div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
    <select>
    <option ng-repeat="x in names">{{x}}</option>
    </select>
    </div>
    <script>
    var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
    app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.names = ["Java", "PHP", ".Net", "AngularJS", "C/C++"];
    });
    </script>

    ng-options vs. ng-repeat
    Although, both can be used for dropdown list, but ng-repeat directive repeats a
    block of HTML code for each item in an array, it can be used to create options in a
    dropdown list, while the ng-options directive was made especially for filling a
    dropdown list with options, and has at least one important advantage:

    Dropdowns made with ng-options allows the selected value to be an object, while
    dropdowns made from ng-repeat has to be a string.

    Consider that you have an array of objects:

    $scope.cars = [
    {model : "Ford Mustang", color : "red"},
    {model : "Fiat 500", color : "white"},
    {model : "Volvo XC90", color : "black"}
    ];
    Limitation of ng-repeat

    The ng-repeat directive has a limitation that the selected value must be a string:

    See this example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <script
    src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
    <body>
    <div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
    <p>Select a car:</p>
    <select ng-model="selectedCar">
    <option ng-repeat="x in cars" value="{{x.model}}">{{x.model}}</option>
    </select>
    <h1>You selected: {{selectedCar}}</h1>
    </div>
    <script>
    var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
    app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.cars = [
    {model : "Ford", color : "red"},
    {model : "Honda", color : "white"},
    {model : "Volvo", color : "black"},
    {model : "Hundai", color : "gray"}
    ];
    });
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    While using the ng-options directive, you can select an object value:

    See this example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <script
    src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
    <body>
    <div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
    <p>Select a car:</p>
    <select ng-model="selectedCar" ng-options="x.model for x in cars">
    </select>
    <h1>You selected: {{selectedCar.model}}</h1>
    <p>It's color is: {{selectedCar.color}}</p>
    </div>
    <script>
    var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
    app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.cars = [
    {model : "Ford", color : "red"},
    {model : "Honda", color : "white"},
    {model : "Volvo", color : "black"},
    {model : "Hundai", color : "gray"}
    ];

    });
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    Use data source as an object

    We can also use data source as an object.

    Consider that you have an object with following key-value pairs:

    $scope.cars = {
    car01 : "Ford",
    car02 : "Honda",
    car03 : "Volvo",
    car03 : "Hundai",
    };
    The expression in the ng-options attribute is a bit different for objects:

    See this example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <script
    src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
    <body>
    <div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
    <p>Select a car:</p>
    <select ng-model="selectedCar" ng-options="x for (x, y) in cars">
    </select>
    <h1>You selected: {{selectedCar}}</h1>
    </div>
    <script>
    var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
    app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.cars = {
    car01 : "Ford",
    car02 : "Honda",
    car03 : "Volvo",
    car03 : "Hundai",
    }
    });
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>

    Example2:

    The selected value will always be the value in a key-value pair.

    The value in a key-value pair can also be an object:

    $scope.cars = {
    car01 : {brand : "Ford", model : "Mustang", color : "red"},
    car02 : {brand : "Honda", model : "city", color : "white"},
    car03 : {brand : "Volvo", model : "XC90", color : "black"},
    car04 : {brand : "Hundai", model : "Creta", color : "gray"}
    };
    See this example:

    <!DOCTYPE html>
    <html>
    <script
    src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
    <body>
    <div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
    <p>Select a car:</p>
    <select ng-model="selectedCar" ng-options="x for (x, y) in cars">
    </select>
    <h1>You selected: {{selectedCar.brand}}</h1>
    <h2>Model: {{selectedCar.model}}</h2>
    <h3>Color: {{selectedCar.color}}</h3>
    </div>
    <script>
    var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
    app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.cars = {
    car01 : {brand : "Ford", model : "Mustang", color : "red"},
    car02 : {brand : "Honda", model : "city", color : "white"},
    car03 : {brand : "Volvo", model : "XC90", color : "black"},
    car04 : {brand : "Hundai", model : "Creta", color : "gray"}
    }
    });
    </script>
    </body>
    </html>
