All we need is an easy explanation of the problem, so here it is.
I have this structure:
model = [
{
name: 'name1',
items: [
{
name: 'subobj1'
},
{
name: 'subobj2'
}]
},
{
name: 'name2',
items: [
{
name: 'subobj1'
},
{
name: 'subobj2'
}]
},
....
]
Question is: How do I write ngOptions attrbiute to output this object like this?:
<select>
<optgroup label="name1">
<label>subobj1</label>
<label>subobj2></label>
</optgroup>
....
</group>
Also – ngRepeat is not an option. I have to do this ngOptions alone for plugin being used to work.
How to solve :
I know you bored from this bug, So we are here to help you! Take a deep breath and look at the explanation of your problem. We have many solutions to this problem, But we recommend you to use the first method because it is tested & true method that will 100% work for you.
Method 1
ngOptions
doesn’t support multi-dimensional arrays. You must flatten your array first.
Read more in this answer.
I used a filter:
app.filter('flatten' , function(){
return function(array){
return array.reduce(function(flatten, group){
group.items.forEach(function(item){
flatten.push({ group: group.name , name: item.name})
})
return flatten;
},[]);
}
})
And the markup:
<select ng-model="select"
ng-options="item.name
group by item.group
for item in model | flatten"></select>
Method 2
<select>
<option ng-repeat-start="m in model" ng-bind="m.name"></option>
<option ng-repeat-end ng-repeat="item in m.items" ng-bind="item.name"></option>
</select>
You might add something like style="font-weight: bold;"
on the first option (which is the group label, by the way) and something like style="padding-left: 15px;"
on the second option line, which is another repeat for all the first option line.
So basically by doing this you just add 2 levels (without optgroup
tag, mind you) to your select.
Note: Use and implement method 1 because this method fully tested our system.
