What is the 'AngularJS' way to disable an 'option' HTML5 element?
I'm using AngularJS v1.2.25.

I'm making a 'form' element and there are several 'select' element tags with several 'option' element tags.
The 'option' element tags have identical attributes throughout all four of the 'select' element tags.
I want the user to rank the car manufacturers. When they select a manufacturer, I want to disable that 'option' element in all four 'select' element tags.
I found the following question/answer, but is this the 'AngularJS' way? (Disable option in select)
They are using jQuery and I know that AngularJS contains 'jQuery Lite', but is that implementation the 'AngularJS' way?
I found this documentation at the AngularJS site: htt9$://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngDisabled
This is the accompanying Plunk link: htt9$://plnkr.co/edit/?p=preview
I can appreciate the example provided by the AngularJS team. I was thinking about modifying ng-model and/or ng-disabled. I would like to avoid 'hacking' AngularJS 'core' files.
Do I decouple ng-model and/or ng-disabled?
Or, should I craft a custom filter?
I come from a jQuery background, and I'm trying to adhere to AngularJS best practices as much as possible. I want to prevent excessive 'technical debt'.
The Angular way to disable a select option is to use ng-disabled="expression"
This plunker shows how it's done.
In you case you can have 4 selects like so:
<select ng-model="model.selected1">
<option ng-repeat="c in model.options" value="{{c.value}}" ng-disabled="model.should_disable(c, 1)">{{c.label}}</option>
</select>
<select ng-model="model.selected2">
<option ng-repeat="c in model.options" value="{{c.value}}" ng-disabled="model.should_disable(c, 2)">{{c.label}}</option>
</select>
<select ng-model="model.selected3">
<option ng-repeat="c in model.options" value="{{c.value}}" ng-disabled="model.should_disable(c, 3)">{{c.label}}</option>
</select>
<select ng-model="model.selected4">
<option ng-repeat="c in model.options" value="{{c.value}}" ng-disabled="model.should_disable(c, 4)">{{c.label}}</option>
</select>
where model.options is your list of options
var model = $scope.model = {
options: [
{label: 'Volvo', value: 'volvo'},
{label: 'Audi', value: 'audi'},
{label: 'Saab', value: 'saab'},
{label: 'Opel', value: 'opel'},
],
should_disable: should_disable
}
That function should_disable(c, num) is supposed to be true when car c is selected in a <select> other than num.
function should_disable(c, selectnum){
var other_selectnums = [1,2,3,4].filter(function(n){
return n != selectnum;
});
var is_selected_somewhere_else = false;
for(var i=0; i<other_selectnums.length; i++){
var otherselectnum = other_selectnums[i];
if(c.value == model['selected'+otherselectnum]){
is_selected_somewhere_else = true;
break;
}
}
return is_selected_somewhere_else;
}
