preselected values in jquery multiselect with angularjs using ng-options


Jquery multiselect runs perfectly with ng-option. See below for my HTML, Directive and controller.

 <select multiselect multiple ng-model="sched.select"  style="width:130px;" 
 ng-options="option.name for option in availableOptions track by option.value" >


.directive('multiselect', function ($timeout) {
return {
    restrict: 'A',
    scope: {
        model: '='
    },
    transclude: true,
    require: 'ngModel',
    link: function (scope, element, attrs, controller, transclude) {
        $timeout(function() {
            transclude(function (clone) {
                element.append(clone);
                $(element).multiselect();
            });
        });
    }
}
});

 .controller('CreateSubject', function ($scope, factory, $cookieStore,     
 $location, $rootScope){
 $scope.availableOptions = [
 {value: "M", name: 'Monday'},
 {value: "T", name: 'Tuesday'},
 {value: "W", name: 'Wednesday'},
 {value: "Th", name: 'Thursday'},
 {value: "F", name: 'Friday'},
 {value: "S", name: 'Saturday'}    
];
});

Now my problem is how to preselect values in this scenario? I already tried this solution JQuery multiselect - Set a value as selected in the multiselect dropdown but it give me an error.

Solution

  • You can try by initilaze in your controller and use option.name as option.name in your select tag and no need to use track by.

    in your controller:

    .controller('CreateSubject', function ($scope){
     $scope.availableOptions = [
         {value: "M", name: 'Monday'},
         {value: "T", name: 'Tuesday'},
         {value: "W", name: 'Wednesday'},
         {value: "Th", name: 'Thursday'},
         {value: "F", name: 'Friday'},
         {value: "S", name: 'Saturday'}    
      ];
      $scope.sched = {};
      $scope.sched.select =[$scope.availableOptions[0].name,$scope.availableOptions[1].name]
    ;});
    

    and HTML:

    <select multiselect multiple ng-model="sched.select"  style="width:130px;" 
             ng-options="option.name as option.name for option in availableOptions" >
    
        </select>
    

    NB. you should use option.value as option.name if you want to set value as M, T as a selected value.

    and file loading order need to follow jquery, bootstrap(css, js), angular, bootstrap-multiselect (js, css), your script file

    it may help you.
