AngularJS ng-options Directive

The AngularJS ng-options directive is used to dynamically generate a list of <option> elements for the <select> elements. It uses array to fill the dropdown list. The ng-repeat directive can also be used in some cases for the same reason and it is easier too, but ng-options directive provides more flexibility.

It is supported by <select> statement.

Syntax:

array expression: It specifies an expression that selects the specified parts of an array to fill the select element.

Let's take an example to demonstrate the usage of ng-options directive.

See this example:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
<body>
<div ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="myCtrl">
<select ng-model="selectedName" ng-options="item for item in names">
</select>
</div>
<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.names = ["Java", ".Net", "PHP" , "C/C++", "Oracle"];
});
</script>
<p>This example shows how to fill a dropdown list using the ng-options directive.</p>
