I have this dropdown in my page
<select
ng-options="col.col_id as col.col_name for col in meta_data.x_cols"
ng-model="obj.x">
</select>
Since the model is set to obj.x
, I can access it using $scope.obj.x
in any $scope
function.
Naturally, it gives the value
of the selected option. Is there any way by which I can get selected text as well? for e.g. bind obj.x
to and obj.x_text
to the text of selected option.
If you bind col and not col.col_id:
<select
ng-options="col as col.col_name for col in meta_data.x_cols track by col.col_id"
ng-model="obj.x">
</select>
you will be able to access both col_id and col_name from $scope.obj.x:
$scope.obj.x.col_id
$scope.obj.x.col_name
