Angular - Binding the following data via ng-options for a select field

Given the following code:

Suppose I received an ajax call with the following data I pass to a scope variable:

$scope.people_model = {  
   "people":[  
      {  
         "id":"1",
         "name":"Jon"
      },
      {  
         "id":"2",
         "name":"Adam"
      }
   ]
};

How would I work with the select box to iterate over the 'people' via ng-options?

<select 
  ng-options="p.name for name in people_model"
  ng-model="people_model">
</select>

Solution

Change your select as ,

 <select ng-model="currentSelected" ng-options="selection.id as selection.name for selection in people_model.people"></select>

You need to access the array people inside the object people_model

DEMO

var app = angular.module('myapp', []);

app.controller("FirstCtrl", ["$scope",
  function($scope) {
    $scope.currentSelected = "1";
    $scope.people_model = {
      "people": [{
        "id": "1",
        "name": "Jon"
      }, {
        "id": "2",
        "name": "Adam"
      }]
    };

  }
]);
