Need example of select usage in AngularJS input form

I would recommend using ng-options where you can.

<select ng-model="choice" ng-options="x.id as x.name for x in array"></select>

Because check this out: You can use it to select actual objects:

app.controller('ExampleCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.items = [
        { id: 1, name: 'Foo' },
        { id: 2, name: 'Bar' }
    ];

    $scope.selectedItem = null;
});

<div ng-controller="ExampleCtrl">
    <select ng-model="selectedItem" 
            ng-options="item as item.name for item in items"></select>

    {{selectedItem | json}}
</div>

In the above example when you select something from the drop down, it's actually setting an entire object reference on selectedItem rather that just a value type.

NOTE: using ng-options sets your value="" attributes to the indices of the items in your collections this is by design.

It's really the best way to do it.

EDIT: more context as requested. Also here's a plunker showing it in use

<select ng-model="choice">
    <option ng-repeat="obj in array" value="{{obj.id}}">{{obj.name}}</option>
</select>

or use 'ng-options' - http://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng.directive:select

<dropdown-multiselect pre-selected="member.roles" model="selected_items" options="roles"></dropdown-multiselect>


<pre>selected roles = {{selected_items | json}}</pre>
