I hope I understand your question, but the ng-model
directive creates a two-way binding between the selected item in the control and the value of item.selectedVariant
. This means that changing item.selectedVariant
in JavaScript, or changing the value in the control, updates the other. If item.selectedVariant
has a value of 0
, that item should get selected.
If variants
is an array of objects, item.selectedVariant
must be set to one of those objects. I do not know which information you have in your scope, but here's an example:
JS:
$scope.options = [{ name: "a", id: 1 }, { name: "b", id: 2 }];
$scope.selectedOption = $scope.options[1];
HTML:
<select data-ng-options="o.name for o in options" data-ng-model="selectedOption"></select>
This would leave the "b" item to be selected.
