$scope.property = new Property();
$scope.property.propertyType = {};
$scope.propertyTypes = [
{ value: 'ResidentialPlot', name: 'Residential Plot' },
{ value: 'CommercialPlot', name: 'Commercial Plot' },
{ value: 'Apartment', name: 'Apartment/Flat' },
{ value: 'Townhouse', name: 'Townhouse' },
{ value: 'House', name: 'Single Family House' },
{ value: 'Commercial', name: 'Commercial Property' }
];
<label for="ptype" class="col-sm-2 control-label">Property Type</label>
<p>Populated: {{property.propertyType}}</p>
<ui-select ng-model="property.propertyType" id="ptype" theme="selectize" ng-disabled="disabled" style="width: 300px;" title="Choose Property Type">
<ui-select-match placeholder="Select a Property Type">{{$select.selected.value}}</ui-select-match>
<ui-select-choices repeat="propType in propertyTypes">
<span ng-bind-html="propType.name"></span>
<small ng-bind-html="propType.value"></small>
</ui-select-choices>
This gives me:
$scope.PropertyType = {"value":"Apartment","name":"Apartment/Flat"}
PropertyType in my schema is just a string so I want to bind selected value instead of selected JSON Item.
$scope.PropertyType = "Apartment"
What should I bind to my ng-model to get this?
You don't need $watch.
<ui-select ng-model="property.propertyType" id="ptype" theme="selectize" ng-disabled="disabled" style="width: 300px;" title="Choose Property Type">
<ui-select-match placeholder="Select a Property Type">{{$select.selected.value}}</ui-select-match>
<ui-select-choices repeat="propType.value as propType in propertyTypes track by $index | filter: $select.search">
<div ng-bind-html="propType.value | highlight: $select.search"></div>
</ui-select-choices>
