Angularjs populate select options with json

Question

I am looking to populate select option with values from a basic json array.

The example I have is a country select. Each country has an id element and a name plus other fields that I can ignore. Basically I would like to say put one value in the value="" field and another between the <option>tags</option>

html snippet

<div ng-controller="DemoCtrl">

  <p>populate select options with ajax</p>

    <select id="Country" name="Country" class="form-control" size="10" 
        ng-model ="chooseCountries">                                
            <option ng:repeat="country in chooseCountries" value="{{country.id}}">     
                {{country.name}}
            </option>
    </select>

</div>

javascript snippet

'use strict';

function DemoSelectCtrl($scope) {

    $scope.chooseCountries=[
        {countryId : 1, name : "France - Mainland", desc: "some description" },
        {countryId : 3, name : "Gibraltar", desc: "some description"},
        {countryId : 3, name : "Malta", desc: "some description"}
    ];  

});

I have put it together here js fiddle.. I think I'm missing something

Answer 1

In this above example you are missing value attribute change this value="{{country.countryId}}". try this

<select id="Country" name="Country" class="form-control" size="10" ng-model ="chooseCountries">                                
    <option ng:repeat="country in chooseCountries" value="{{country.countryId}}">
        {{country.name}}
    </option>
</select>
