How to have a default option in Angular.js select

I have searched Google and can't find anything on this.

I have this code.

<select ng-model="somethingHere" 
        ng-options="option.value as option.name for option in options"
></select>

With some data like this

options = [{
   name: 'Something Cool',
   value: 'something-cool-value'
}, {
   name: 'Something Else',
   value: 'something-else-value'
}];

And the output is something like this.

<select ng-model="somethingHere"  
        ng-options="option.value as option.name for option in options" 
        class="ng-pristine ng-valid">

    <option value="?" selected="selected"></option>
    <option value="0">Something Cool</option>
    <option value="1">Something Else</option>
</select>

How is it possible to set the first option in the data as the default value so you would get a result like this.

<select ng-model="somethingHere" ....>
    <option value="0" selected="selected">Something Cool</option>
    <option value="1">Something Else</option>
</select>

You can simply use ng-init like this

<select ng-init="somethingHere = options[0]" 
        ng-model="somethingHere" 
        ng-options="option.name for option in options">
</select>

Using `select` with `ngOptions` and setting a default value:

See the ngOptions documentation for more ngOptions usage examples.

angular.module('defaultValueSelect', [])
 .controller('ExampleController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
   $scope.data = {
    availableOptions: [
      {id: '1', name: 'Option A'},
      {id: '2', name: 'Option B'},
      {id: '3', name: 'Option C'}
    ],
    selectedOption: {id: '2', name: 'Option B'} //This sets the default value of the select in the ui
    };
}]);

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.5.0-rc.0/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app="defaultValueSelect">
  <div ng-controller="ExampleController">
  <form name="myForm">
    <label for="mySelect">Make a choice:</label>
    <select name="mySelect" id="mySelect"
      ng-options="option.name for option in data.availableOptions track by option.id"
      ng-model="data.selectedOption"></select>
  </form>
  <hr>
  <tt>option = {{data.selectedOption}}</tt><br/>
</div>

Official documentation about HTML SELECT element with angular data-binding.

Binding `select` to a non-string value via `ngModel` parsing / formatting:

(function(angular) {
  'use strict';
angular.module('nonStringSelect', [])
  .run(function($rootScope) {
    $rootScope.model = { id: 2 };
  })
  .directive('convertToNumber', function() {
    return {
      require: 'ngModel',
      link: function(scope, element, attrs, ngModel) {
        ngModel.$parsers.push(function(val) {
          return parseInt(val, 10);
        });
        ngModel.$formatters.push(function(val) {
          return '' + val;
        });
      }
    };
  });
})(window.angular);

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.5.0-rc.1/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app="nonStringSelect">
  <select ng-model="model.id" convert-to-number>
  <option value="1">One</option>
  <option value="2">Two</option>
  <option value="3">Three</option>
</select>
{{ model }}
</body>

Other example:

angular.module('defaultValueSelect', [])
 .controller('ExampleController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
   $scope.availableOptions = [
     { name: 'Apple', value: 'apple' }, 
     { name: 'Banana', value: 'banana' }, 
     { name: 'Kiwi', value: 'kiwi' }
   ];
   $scope.data = {selectedOption : $scope.availableOptions[1].value};
}]);

<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.5.0-rc.0/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app="defaultValueSelect">
  <div ng-controller="ExampleController">
  <form name="myForm">
    <select ng-model="data.selectedOption" required ng-options="option.value as option.name for option in availableOptions"></select>
  </form>  
  </div>
</body>

If you have some thing instead of just init the date part, you can use ng-init() by declare it in your controller, and use it in the top of your HTML. This function will work like a constructor for your controller, and you can initiate your variables there.

angular.module('myApp', [])
 .controller('myController', ['$scope', ($scope) => {
   $scope.allOptions = [
     { name: 'Apple', value: 'apple' }, 
     { name: 'Banana', value: 'banana' }
   ];
   $scope.myInit = () => {
      $scope.userSelected = 'apple'
      // Other initiations can goes here..
   }
}]);


<body ng-app="myApp">
  <div ng-controller="myController" ng-init="init()">
    <select ng-model="userSelected" ng-options="option.value as option.name for option in allOptions"></select>
   </div>
</body>

If you want to make sure your $scope.somethingHere value doesn't get overwritten when your view initializes, you'll want to coalesce (somethingHere = somethingHere || options[0].value) the value in your ng-init like so:

<select ng-model="somethingHere" 
        ng-init="somethingHere = somethingHere || options[0].value"
        ng-options="option.value as option.name for option in options">
</select>

I needed the default “Please Select” to be unselectable. I also needed to be able to conditionally set a default selected option.

I achieved this the following simplistic way: JS code: // Flip these 2 to test selected default or no default with default “Please Select” text //$scope.defaultOption = 0; $scope.defaultOption = { key: '3', value: 'Option 3' };

$scope.options = [
   { key: '1', value: 'Option 1' },
   { key: '2', value: 'Option 2' },
   { key: '3', value: 'Option 3' },
   { key: '4', value: 'Option 4' }
];

getOptions();

function getOptions(){
    if ($scope.defaultOption != 0)
    { $scope.options.selectedOption = $scope.defaultOption; }
}

HTML:

<select name="OptionSelect" id="OptionSelect" ng-model="options.selectedOption" ng-options="item.value for item in options track by item.key">
<option value="" disabled selected style="display: none;"> -- Please Select -- </option>
</select>
<h1>You selected: {{options.selectedOption.key}}</h1>

I hope this helps someone else that has similar requirements.

The "Please Select" was accomplished through Joffrey Outtier's answer here.
