Issue with AngularJS Dropdown

Question

I have created AngularJS dependable dropdowns, its working fine with static data from script file. Now how can I bind data to these dropdowns from an URL. I don't have a separate url for dropdowns, there is one url delivering everything.

How should I parse the data to get the required output? Iam very new to this, Will be grateful if anyone can help!!

The problem is your question states something and your demo shows something else.

You can directly parse the JSON data on fly using angular then you don't have ng-change function to detect which dropdown was selected. Refer to the below code on how I'm parsing the data in html itself.

                <div class="col-sm-4">
                    <am-multiselect class="input-lg"
                                    template-url="multiselect.tmpl.html"
                                    ng-model="selectedcountry" ms-header="Select country" style="width:200px;"
                                    options="c.CountryName for c in table"
                                    ng-change="setState(selectedcountry)"
                                    change="selected()"></am-multiselect>



                </div>
            </div>
            <div class="form-group">

                <div class="col-sm-4">
                    <am-multiselect class="input-lg" multiple="true" ms-selected="{{selectedState.length}} State(s) selected"
                                    ng-model="selectedState" ms-header="Select States"
                                    options="s.STATE for s in table"
                                    ng-change="setCity(selectedState)"
                                    template-url="multiselect.tmpl.html" style="width:500px;"
                                    change="selected()">
                    </am-multiselect>

                </div>
            </div>

            <div class="form-group">

                <div class="col-sm-4">
                    <am-multiselect class="input-lg" multiple="true" ms-selected="{{selectedCity.length}} City(ies) selected"
                                    ng-model="selectedCity" ms-header="Select City"
                                    options="m.CityName for m in table"
                                    template-url="multiselect.tmpl.html" style="width:500px;"
                                    change="selected()"></am-multiselect>

                </div>
            </div>

next your second dropdown which is STATE doesn't trigger on change even if the scope is changed.

So use a $watch to see the changes to scope when it happens apply it to the CITY

So your js:

angular.module('app', ['am.multiselect']);

angular.module('app')
  .controller('ctrl', function($scope, $http, $location, $filter,$window) {

    var tableData = {
      "Table": [{
        "CountryUid": 3,
        "CountryName": "INDIA",
        "STATE": "AndraPradesh",
        "CityId": 3,
        "CityName": "Vijayawada"
      }, {
        "CountryUid": 2,
        "CountryName": "USA",
        "STATE": "Florida",
        "CityId": 3,
        "CityName": "Tampa"
      }, {
        "CountryUid": 3,
        "CountryName": "INDIA",
        "STATE": "Assam",
        "CityId": 3,
        "CityName": "Jorhat"
      }]
    };

    var countries = [];
    var states = [];
    var cities = [];

    $scope.table = tableData.Table;
    $scope.countries = countries;
    $scope.states = states;
    $scope.cities = cities;
    $scope.selectedsite = null;
    $scope.selectedState = [];
    $scope.selectedCity = [];

    $scope.setState = function(country) {
      $scope.selectedStates = tableData.Table.filter(function(el) {
        return el.CountryName === country
      });
      $scope.selectedState = $scope.selectedStates.map(function(elm) {return elm.STATE;});
    }
    $scope.setCity = function(state) {
      selectedCity = tableData.Table.filter(function(el) {
        return el.STATE === state
      });
      $scope.selectedCity = selectedCity.map(function(elm) {return elm.CityName;});
    }
    $scope.$watch('selectedStates', function(newVal, oldVal, theScope) {
      $scope.selectedCity = newVal.map(function(elm) {return elm.CityName;});
      console.log(newVal,$scope.selectedCity);
    });

PS: The above plunker isn't very perfect you may some some minor issues which you should be able to solve.
