AngularJS: Setting up a default value for Select (using string's list)

Question

I have an array with the strings (not objects) And I binded them to a Select control using AngularJS But I faced with a problem to set up a default setting because my array contains the strings, not the objects. How can I do it in the most correct way?

This is what I got:

 var genders =["Male", "Female"];

<select data-ng-options="o.Name for o in genders track by o.Id"
 data-ng-model="selectedCustomer.Gender"
</select>

I'm not sure if understood correctly. Maybe you set default to the first item in the array. For example: var default = genders[0]. In your case default variable would became "Male" — Michael Money

Read DOCs, You can simply use the expression label for value in array for arrays as data-source.

<select data-ng-options="o for o in genders" 
        data-ng-model="selectedCustomer.Gender">
</select>

You don't need trackexpr
