How do I get "select" event to work?

I cannot find further information in the documentation other than the markup.

<div class="list">
  <label class="item item-input item-select">
    <div class="input-label">
      Lightsaber
    </div>
    <select>
      <option>Blue</option>
      <option selected>Green</option>
      <option>Red</option>
    </select>
  </label>
</div>

Is there a CodePen or something that describes how to get which item the user selected?

Thank you!

you could use ng-modal it will then do a 2-way databinding.

devine a variable in controller ($scope.selectValue)
and in html use :

<select ng-modal="selectValue">
      <option>Blue</option>
      <option selected>Green</option>
      <option>Red</option>
    </select> 

dont forget to bind controller.

if you want to try something different:

OK, I see, that’s cool. So I now have this…

  • How do I set the initial value.
  • How do I get the new value that is selected?

Thanks!

as you do it right now he wants an item form $scope.numbers.

but i think you just want to pass a key and then select.
For this you have to assign the key with ng-option like this

ng-options="number.key as number.value for number in numbers"

here an examle:

note : using key = ‘3’ you have to set $scope.myNumber = ‘3’; (with upper quote)

OK, that’s working great too now. Thank you.

But how do I get the new value that they changed to in the controller? I need to act on that new value?

Thanks!

when you change the value in the select it will be saved in myNumber.

do you need to do something when value is changed?

Yes, I need to save that value to localstorage but don’t know how to tap into the event of the select.

I also need to fire some action onchange of the select, one way could be to use ng-model for binding something like ‘currentselected’ in scope, then do $scope.$watch(‘currentselected’ …

How is the common angular way? is this not recommended?

I added this:

ng-change=“valueChanged()”
