AngularJS ngModel directive in select

Based on Tony the Pony's fiddle :

<div ng-app ng-controller="MyCtrl">    <select ng-model="opt"            ng-options="font.title for font in fonts"            ng-change="change(opt)">    </select>    <p>{{opt}}</p></div>

With a controller:

function MyCtrl($scope) {    $scope.fonts = [        {title: "Arial" , text: 'Url for Arial' },        {title: "Helvetica" , text: 'Url for Helvetica' }    ];    $scope.change= function(option){        alert(option.title);    }}

First create data (can be local or from server) in Controller. And initialize the default value, which force the default item selected in HTML form.

// supported languages$scope.languages = ['ENGLISH', 'SPANISH', 'RUSSIAN', 'HINDI', 'NEPALI'];// init default language$scope.language = 'ENGLISH';

Now in your HTML form

<select class="form-control" ng-model="language">    <option ng-repeat="language in languages">{{language}}</option></select>

You can do a test in controller, whether the change is working

$scope.$watch('language', function (newVal, oldVal) {    console.log(oldVal + " -> " + newVal);});

ENGLISH -> RUSSIAN

RUSSIAN -> SPANISH

SPANISH -> RUSSIAN

Hope this is helpful. Thanks!
