Simpler ngModel bind...

[brunomacf]

I want to get/set the values of the select by id (and not by visible text in the options) and i don't want to bind a complex {id:"...", text:"..."} object to ngModel, just and id variable that is mapped to the select underneath. All other selects have this kind of functionality (including select2 and selectize).....

PS.: This question is related with a simpler method to set the initial value of the ui-select (set programmatically)!

Yes, I would also like a way to do this.

I just want to bind one value from a key:value pair to the model, instead of the entire object.

@brunomacf Not sure to understand, can you provide a code snippet or point to a Select2/Selectize example?

I think they just mean the default, example from select2 homepage. Sorry if this is not what they meant. Pass value and display property. Calling $('#e8).select2('val') = AK. I think thats what they meant by simple key:value.

  <select id="e8" style="width:300px" class="populate select2-offscreen" tabindex="-1" title="">

     <option value="AK">Alaska</option>
     <option value="HI">Hawaii</option>

  </select>  

They want to build the options out dynamically like ui-select already does using objects, but the ng-model in <ui-select ng-model="my.model"> would equal AK instead of {id: "AK", name: "Alaska"}

@brunomacf let's keep discussion at #68 that seams like the same situation. A solution should be ready soon

@brunomacf Take a look at PR #107 that I just created. All comments and suggestions are welcome.
