I am trying to update a model from the drop down menu using ng-options and select an already selected value using ng-selected. Here's a simplified example (and fiddle ).
HTML
<div ng-app>
<h2>Todo</h2>
<div ng-controller="QuarterController">
<select name="quarter" ng-model="Quarter.id" ng-options="q.id as q.val for q in Quarters">
<option ng-selected="Quarter.val===q.val"></option>
</select>
<input type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit" ng-click="submit()"/>
<br/>
<p>{{answer}}</p>
</div>
</div>
Angular
function QuarterController($scope) {
$scope.Quarters = [{val: 'Q1', id: 1}, {val: 'Q2', id:2}, {val:'Q3', id:3}, {val:'Q4', id:4}];
$scope.Quarter = {val: 'Q2', id: 2, extraField: 'Hello'};
$scope.submit = function() {
$scope.answer = "Val: " + $scope.Quarter.val + ", Id: " + $scope.Quarter.id + $scope.Quarter.extraField;
};
}
So what happens here, the “val” from $ scope.Quarters is the dropdown, with the selected option identifier stored in $ scope.Quarter.id. "submit" displays the id and val of $ scope.Quarter. $ scope.Quarter.id updates to send, but not $ scope.Quarter.val. Does anyone know how to do this?
EDIT
$ scope.Quarter.extraField has been added to better illustrate the problem I'm trying to solve. I need id and val to update, but I want extraField to stay the same.
