ng-options not pulling from javascript array [duplicate]

I'm a little bit confused with Angular and ng-options.
I have a simple array and I want to init a select with it. But, I want that options value = label.
script.js
$scope.options = ['var1', 'var2', 'var3'];
html
<select ng-model="myselect" ng-options="o for o in options"></select>
What I get:
<option value="0">var1</option>
<option value="1">var2</option>
<option value="2">var3</option>
What I want:
<option value="var1">var1</option>
<option value="var2">var2</option>
<option value="var3">var3</option>
So I tried:
<select ng-model="myselect2" ng-init=0 ng-options="options[k] as v for (k,v) in options"></select>
<select ng-model="myselect3" ng-init=0 ng-options="b as b for b in options"></select>
(But it didn’t work.)
Edit:
My form is submitted externally, which is why I need 'var1' as the value instead of 0.

You actually had it correct in your third attempt.
<select ng-model="myselect" ng-options="o as o for o in options"></select>
See a working example here:
http://plnkr.co/edit/xEERH2zDQ5mPXt9qCl6k?p=preview
The trick is that AngularJS writes the keys as numbers from 0 to n anyway, and translates back when updating the model.
As a result, the HTML will look incorrect but the model will still be set properly when choosing a value. (i.e. AngularJS will translate '0' back to 'var1')
The solution by Epokk also works, however if you're loading data asynchronously you might find it doesn't always update correctly. Using ngOptions will correctly refresh when the scope changes.

You can use ng-repeat with option like this:
<form>
<select ng-model="yourSelect"
ng-options="option as option for option in ['var1', 'var2', 'var3']"
ng-init="yourSelect='var1'"></select>
<input type="hidden" name="yourSelect" value="{{yourSelect}}" />
</form>
When you submit your form you can get value of input hidden.
DEMO
ng-selected
ng-repeat

If you setup your select like the following:
<select ng-model="myselect" ng-options="b for b in options track by b"></select>
you will get:
<option value="var1">var1</option>
<option value="var2">var2</option>
<option value="var3">var3</option>
working fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/x8kCZ/15/

you could use something like
<select ng-model="myselect">
<option ng-repeat="o in options" ng-selected="{{o==myselect}}" value="{{o}}">
{{o}}
</option>
</select>
using ng-selected you preselect the option in case myselect was prefilled.
I prefer this method over ng-options anyway, as ng-options only works with arrays. ng-repeat also works with json-like objects.

<select ng-model="option" ng-options="o for o in options">
$scope.option will be equal to 'var1' after change, even you see value="0" in generated html

How can I set default value for option angular

I have select like this
<select ng-model="form.data">
<option value="c" ng-repeat="c in data">{{c}}</option>
</select>
$scope.data= response.data
When I change select and click save . It save successful in database . I want when refresh page . select show value I save in database. How can I do this . Please help me

The best way would be using the ng-options directive:
<select ng-model="form.data" ng-options="c for c in data"></select>
This way, when refreshing your page the select will be default set to the value of $scope.form.data, as expected.

Some advice :
Use ng-options directive instead of traditional option element.
To display the previous selected value on page refresh use HTML5 localStorage or sessionStorage.
Working Demo

Use ng-selected
<select ng-model="form.data">
<option value="c" ng-repeat="c in data" ng-selected="c == form.data">{{c}}</option>
</select>

For people who are searching for a answer in Angular | angular 2 | angular 4
try using NgValue and make sure your default options value is the model so NgValue="ModelName"
<select ng-model="form.data">
<option NgValue="form.data">yourdefaultoption</option>
<option NgValue="c" ng-repeat="c in data">{{c}}</option>
</select>

Prevent Blank Select in Angular

I updating a form to angular. The selects in it are not generated by angular. I am using angular to add some interactivity and submit the form. I am having an issue where angular is adding a blank select to the element. Is there a way of preventing this without having angular generate the select?
<select name="inventory_status" ng-model="formData.inventory_status">
<option ng-selected="true" ng-value="1">Active</option>
<option ng-value="2">Discontinued</option>
<option ng-value="3">Special Order</option>
<option ng-value="4">Pre-Order</option>
</select>
The above code produces this:
<select name="inventory_status" ng-model="formData.inventory_status" ng-init="sortorder='1'" class="ng-pristine ng-valid ng-touched"><option value="? undefined:undefined ?"></option>
<option ng-selected="true" ng-value="1" value="1" selected="selected">Active</option>
<option ng-value="2" value="2">Discontinued</option>
<option ng-value="3" value="3">Special Order</option>
<option ng-value="4" value="4">Pre-Order</option>
</select>
My hope is to not have this produced:
<option value="? undefined:undefined ?"></option>
Additionally I would like to not have to use angular to generate the dropdown although if that is the only option I could. This only happens when I set this field to ng-model. I am setting it to ng-model because I want to use angular to submit the form.
Thanks in advance.

Set $scope.formData.inventory_status = 1 or whatever value you want selected and it will not show the empty option, plus you don't need ng-selected if you set the value.

AngularJS, select onChange or ngChange

I'm new using angularjs and the angular user interface. I'm interested in the tag.
This is my html:
<select id="part1" ui-select2 ng-model="params.id" style="width: 200px;">
<option value="">Provinsi</option>
<option ng-repeat="v in prov" value="{{v.id}}" title="{{v.text}}"
ng-selected="v.id == params.id">{{v.text}}</option>
</select>
<select id="part2" ui-select2 ng-model="params2.id" style="width: 200px;" ng-disabled="true">
<option value="">Kabupaten</option>
<option ng-repeat="y in kab" value="{{y.id}}" title="{{y.text}}"
ng-selected="y.id == params.id">{{y.text}}</option>
</select>
and this my app.js :
$http.get('json/provinsiData.json').success(function(datax) {
$scope.prov = datax;
});
//part2 data
$http.get('json/acehData.json').success(function(datay) {
$scope.kab = datay;
});
$scope.params = {}
$scope.params2 = {}
As you can see select part2 is disabled.
How can I create an event change that works like the condition below?
if selected option of part1 is index 0
then select part2 disabled = false and load json part2 data.

The angular-js select supports the ng-change attribute which may call any javascript method defined in scope.
Example:
However your best bet may be just to evaluate an $scope expression in your ng-disabled= attribute, e.g. ng-disabled="params.id == 'X'".

With Angular, we usually aren't looking for events to trigger changes. Instead, when the model changes, the view should update to reflect those changes.
In this case, the second element should be enabled (not disabled) depending on a value in the model. When the model value connected to the first select menu satisfies some condition, enable the second menu. Yes, technically there's an event, but we don't need to care about it, all that matters are the model's values.
Here's a simplified example of how this might work:
<select ng-model="selection.item">
<option value="">Clothing</option>
<option ng-repeat="item in clothes">{{ item }}</option>
</select>
<select ng-model="selection.size" ng-disabled="!selection.item">
<option value="">Size</option>
<option ng-repeat="size in sizes">{{ size }}</option>
</select>
The second select menu's ng-disabled attribute is a simple expression which basically evaluates to "disable me if selection.item does not have a value". That could just as easily be a more complex expression or a function.
Here's a plunkr based on the code above

Can I apply the required attribute to <select> fields in HTML?

How can I check if a user has selected something from a <select> field in HTML?
I see <select> doesn't support the new required attribute... do I have to use JavaScript then? Or is there something I’m missing? :/

Mandatory: Have the first value empty - required works on empty values
Prerequisites: correct html5 DOCTYPE and a named input field
<select name="somename" required>
<option value="">Please select</option>
<option value="one">One</option>
</select>
As per the documentation (the listing and bold is mine)
The required attribute is a boolean
attribute.
When specified, the user
will be required to select a value
before submitting the form.
If a select element
has a required attribute specified,
does not have a multiple attribute specified,
and has a display size of 1 (do not have SIZE=2 or more - omit it if not needed);
and if the value
of the first option element in the
select element's list of options (if
any) is the empty string (i.e. present as value=""),
and that
option element's parent node is the
select element (and not an optgroup
element),
then that option is the
select element's placeholder label
option.

The <select> element does support the required attribute, as per the spec:
http://dev.w3.org/html5/spec-author-view/the-select-element.html#the-select-element
Which browser doesn’t honour this?
(Of course, you have to validate on the server anyway, as you can’t guarantee that users will have JavaScript enabled.)

Yes, it's working:
<select name="somename" required>
<option value="">Please select</option>
<option value="one">One</option>
</select>
you have to keep first option blank.

You can use the selected attribute for the option element to select a choice by default. You can use the required attribute for the select element to ensure that the user selects something.
In Javascript, you can check the selectedIndex property to get the index of the selected option, or you can check the value property to get the value of the selected option.
According to the HTML5 spec, selectedIndex "returns the index of the first selected item, if any, or −1 if there is no selected item. And value "returns the value of the first selected item, if any, or the empty string if there is no selected item." So if selectedIndex = -1, then you know they haven't selected anything.
<button type="button" onclick="displaySelection()">What did I pick?</button>
<script>
function displaySelection()
{
var mySelect = document.getElementById("someSelectElement");
var mySelection = mySelect.selectedIndex;
alert(mySelection);
}
</script>

You need to set the value attribute of option to the empty string:
<select name="status" required>
<option selected disabled value="">what's your status?</option>
<option value="code">coding</option>
<option value="sleep">sleeping</option>
</select>
select will return the value of the selected option to the server when the user presses submit on the form. An empty value is the same as an empty text input -> raising the required message.
w3schools
The value attribute specifies the value to be sent to a server when a form is submitted.
Example

<form action="">
<select required>
<option selected disabled value="">choose</option>
<option value="red">red</option>
<option value="yellow">yellow</option>
<option value="green">green</option>
<option value="grey">grey</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>

try this, this gonna work, I have tried this and this works.
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<body>
<form action="#">
<select required>
<option value="">None</option>
<option value="volvo">Volvo</option>
<option value="saab">Saab</option>
<option value="mercedes">Mercedes</option>
<option value="audi">Audi</option>
</select>
<input type="submit">
</form>
</body>
</html>

Make the value of first item of selection box to blank.
So when every you post the FORM you get blank value and using this way you would know that user hasn't selected anything from dropdown.
<select name="user_role" required>
<option value="">-Select-</option>
<option value="User">User</option>
<option value="Admin">Admin</option>
</select>

first you have to assign blank value in first option.
i.e. Select here.than only required will work.

Works perfectly fine if the first option's value is null. Explanation : The HTML5 will read a null value on button submit. If not null (value attribute), the selected value is assumed not to be null hence the validation would have worked i.e by checking if there's been data in the option tag. Therefore it will not produce the validation method. However, i guess the other side becomes clear, if the value attribute is set to null ie (value = "" ), HTML5 will detect an empty value on the first or rather the default selected option thus giving out the validation message. Thanks for asking. Happy to help. Glad to know if i did.

In html5 you can do using the full expression:
<select required="required">
I don't know why the short expression doesn't work, but try this one.
It will solve.

Try this
<select>
<option value="" style="display:none">Please select</option>
<option value="one">One</option>
</select>

You can do it also dynamically with JQuery
Set required
$("#select1").attr('required', 'required');
Remove required
$("#select1").removeAttr('required');
