Default value pre-selected in select box with ng-options - sql

Question

I am trying to get default value selected (from database) in my select box using ng-options.
My view
<select class="form-control samlength modalinput"
ng-options="p.procid as p.procname for p in processes track by p.procid"
ng-model="p.procid">
<option value="">-- choose an option --</option>
</select>
where p.procid is a value received from the database.
My data
procid procname time
1 MyProcess 2018-05-30 13:34:54.097 3003162
3 Testing 2018-05-31 18:31:32.467 3003162
If selected procid is 3, how can I get it to be selected by default?
FYI - I have tried multiple answers given in other threads. I have also tried ng-init but nothing helped.

Answer 1

You can keep your HTML as:
<select class="form-control samlength modalinput"
ng-options="p.procid as p.procname for p in processes track by p.procid"
ng-model="selectedProcess">
<option value="">-- choose an option --</option>
</select>
Now if we have a requirement to select a particular object in the array. We can do that by iterating through the array and comparing value at the given key:
function functiontofindIndexByKeyValue(arraytosearch, key, valuetosearch) {
for (var i = 0; i < arraytosearch.length; i++) {
if (arraytosearch[i][key] == valuetosearch) {
return i;
}
}
return null;
}
Call this function as:
var index = functiontofindIndexByKeyValue($scope.processes, "procid", procid);
$scope.selectedProcess = $scope.processes[index];
alert(index);
Hope it works!

Update your html code to this:
<select ng-model="processSelected"
ng-options="p.procname for p in processes track by p.procid">
</select>
Then in controller initialise your model value as:
$scope.processSelected = $scope.processes[1];
Where $scope.processes is an array of process objects.
