Copy JSON Object in ng-model of One md-Select to another md-Select using AngularJS


I'm having a JSON Collection

$scope.person = [
    {
        "Id": 1
        "Name": "John"
    },
    {
        "Id": 2
        "Name": "Jack"
    },
    {
        "Id": 3
        "Name": "Watson"
    },
];

Kindly refer my one of the post Copy JSON Object of One Select to another Select ng-model using AngularJS

Here I'm using Angular Material md-select instead of HTML Select

In md-select, ng-options not working. So, kindly assist me how to update Select value of first md-select to second md-select

I'm having two Angular Materials md-Select with same JSON Collection. I Selected a Person Watson in the First md-select "Person", then I need to update the Same in the Second md-select "Copy Person". But I Can't able to update.

I bind the JSON Object as a Value in the md-select options instead of Id or Name

Kindly assist me how to update in md-select ?


Solution

  • Instead of assigning an object just assign the original value.

    Currently are you using this approach:

    $scope.selected.copy_person = JSON.Parse(newData);
    

    Just Change the logic to

    $scope.selected.copy_person = newData;

    By default, the Value part assigns the JSON Object as a String, as per your on of the post Bind JSON Object as a Value in AngularJS HTML Select - Dropdown . So, just compare the value as a String instead of JSON Object.
