How to pre select Primeng Dropdown values?

I have primeng dropdown with set of values in my angular app.

In the view Screen , drop down is not displaying the selected value (value saved in db) instead it displays 'Select'.

HTML :

<p-dropdown    [options]="reasons" [(ngModel)]="selectedReason"   (onChange)="getCompleteReason($event)" styleClass="ui-column-filter" filter="true"> </p-dropdown>

Component.ts

this.reasons = [];
    this.reasons.push({label: 'Select', value: null});
    this.reasons.push({label: 'Reason 1', value: 'Reason 1'});
    this.reasons.push({label: 'Reason 2', value: 'Reason 2'});
    this.reasons.push({label: 'Reason 3', value: 'Reason 3'});
    this.reasons.push({label: 'Other', value: 'Other'});


this.selectedReason = 'Reason 2' (eg value stored in the db)

enter image description here

Solution

  • It worked after i added name attribute to the dropdown

    <p-dropdown   [options]="reasons" [(ngModel)]="selectedReason"  name="selectedReason"   (onChange)="getCompleteReason($event)" styleClass="ui-column-filter" filter="true">
