AngularJS select ng-model

Question

I use the following select statement:

<select ng-model="vm.institution" ng-options="c as c.institutionName for c in vm.institutionsOfUser"></select>

In my model, the institution is stored but what I will have is to onyl store the id of the institution selected (and contained in vm.institutionsOfUser-> id)

Is there a possibility to do this?

Answer 1

You just need to change ngOptions a little c.id as c.institutionName for c in vm.institutionsOfUser:

<select ng-model="vm.institution" 
        ng-options="c.id as c.institutionName for c in vm.institutionsOfUser"></select>

This will bind model to institution id instead of entire object.
