I'm having a weird problem. I'm using AngularJS in my app and I'm having issues with tag. I have a Controller to have cities and states handled by my elements:
function MeuController($scope, $http) {
$scope.states = [];
$scope.selectedState = '';
$scope.cities = [];
$scope.selectedCity = '';
$http.get('/state/GetStates').success(function(result) {
$scope.states = result;
});
$scope.getCities = function() {
$http.get('/cities/GetCitiesByState?state=' + $scope.selectedState).success(function(result) {
$scope.cities = result;
});
}
});
At this point, everything is OK and easy to understand. But...
When I create my elements this way:
<select class="span2" name="SelectedState" ng-model="selectedState"
ng-change="getCities()" ng-options="state.ID as state.Name for state in states">
<option></option>
</select>
<select class="span6" name="SelectedCity" ng-model="selectedCity"
ng-options="city.ID as city.Name for city in cities">
<option></option>
</select>
... my elements aren't filled.
If I try this way:
<select class="span2" name="SelectedState" ng-model="selectedState"
ng-change="getCities()">
<option ng-repeat="state in states" value="state.ID">{{state.Name}}</option>
</select>
<select class="span6" name="SelectedCity" ng-model="selectedCity">
<option ng-repeat="city in cities" value="city.ID">{{city.Name}}</option>
</select>
Now the values are filled into the elements. Although, if I change the value of "selectedState" scope variable, my element doesn't "select" the right value?
Anyone knows why?
Thank you so much!
Ok so actually the problem is between ng-model and ng-options.
When you do:
<select class="span6" name="SelectedCity" ng-model="selectedCity"
ng-options="city.ID as city.Name for city in cities"></select>
Then $scope.selectedCity is assigned to city.ID and not just city (check this fiddle).
You should write it like this:
<select class="span6" name="SelectedCity" ng-model="selectedCity"
ng-options="city.Name for city in cities"></select>
Check the result in this fiddle.
Does it solve your issue?
