ng-init value overridden in angular oi-select mutiple options

454 Views Asked by user3760261 At 31 October 2025 at 13:06

I am working on dynamic forms with ng-repeat. I am using the oi-select library for loading my locations. The oi-select box has multi select feature. on my page loading by default, I am loading first option value in that oi-select box.

But I am using a multi select feature if I select any other option than the first option it gets override with that value. Due to this issue, I have to select again that first option. My question is, how can I load my first option value by default into that oi-select?

Afterwards, if I am select any other options it won't override my first value in select box .Here is my plunker link http://plnkr.co/edit/m6Q02dlHLBCMVLRLfioh?p=preview

If you use multiple attribute, this means the model should be an array and not a string as in your case user.location = $scope.locations[0];, ypu have to change it to location: [] and use push() method to add the initial items to this array;
Using $timeout doesn't make any sense to me;
ngInit adds unnecessary amount of logic into the template, I would prefer avoid using it in you case, just use location: [$scope.locations[0]] in your controller.

Working example:

var app = angular.module('myApp', ['ngResource', 'oi.select']);

app.controller('myCtrl', function($scope, $timeout) {
  $scope.ids = [1, 2];
  
  $scope.locations = ['india', 'usa', 'jermany', 'china', 'Dubai'];
    
  $scope.users = $scope.ids.map(function(id) {
    return {
      id: id,
      comment: "",
      location: []
    };
  });

  $scope.initLocation = (user, locations) => {
    if (!user.location.length) {
      user.location.push(locations[0]);
    } 
  }
  
  $scope.adduser = function() {
    $scope.users.push({
      id: Math.max(...($scope.users.map(u => { return u.id; }))) + 1,
      comment: "added from controller",
      location: [$scope.locations[2]]
    });
  }

});
