Selected value by default

[bianchimro]

hi,
I don't think we need an option for a default value, as you can just set the selected option by setting your model to the desired default.

Does this solve your problem ?

hi @bianchimro ,
I'm not sure to have totally understood how to do it. In my view I have :

`

Country {{selectedCountry}}

{{option}}

``

with country containing the country array defined in the controller side

[bianchimro]

Ok, to provide a default selection, in your controller you can just do this to provide an initial selection (for example "Italy" ):

$scope.selectedCountry = 'Italy';

and your modal select will start with "Italy" selected (of course the option should be in your array)

If you want more help, consider providing a codepen or plunkr.

Closing this for now (not really an issue with the library), but let me know if you can implement your use case.

Thanks a lot @bianchimro, I didn't realized it was that simple 👍

hi @bianchimro

Actually, I have an issue with defining like this. I applied the default selected country like you suggested but afterward I needed to update my modelname to $scope.data.selectedCountry instead of $scope.selectedCountry.

By doing this, I am not able to set the default value anymore and got this error from my controller: error TypeError: Cannot set property 'selectedCountry' of undefined

Any idea why?

This is only at initialization, when I update this property with ng-change it works perfectly...

I needed to update my modelname to $scope.data.selectedCountry instead of $scope.selectedCountry.

mmh ... I don't understand why you had to do this.

difficult to help without seing the code. Can you post a codepen?

yeah I had to do this in order to put back a default value of the modal select when my toggle is activated. Finally to solve this issue , I had to call a function in ng-init which initiate $scope.data.selectedCountry to my default value instead of doing it in the controller directly ... even if it's not recommended.
