Submitted by razormist on Monday, January 13, 2020 - 20:39.

In this tutorial we will create a Populate Select Tag With Repeat Using AngularJS. This code will add a new options in the select tag when the user submit the form input. The code use angular directives that can dynamically add options as an array in order to populate the select tag. This a user-friendly program feel free to modify and use it to your system. We will be using AngularJS as a comprehensive JavaScript framework that extend the browser capabilities. It handles the heavy lifting of DOM manipulation and AJAX request in a whole.

Getting Started:

First you have to download Bootstrap, this is the link for the bootstrap that i used for the layout design https://getbootstrap.com/. And, this is the link for the AngularJS https://angularjs.org/.

Creating The Interface

This is where we will create a simple form for our application. To create the forms simply copy and write it into you text editor, then save it index.html.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en" ng-app="myModule">
        <head>
                <meta charset="UTF-8" name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"/>
                <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.css" />
        </head>
<body ng-controller="myController">
        <nav class="navbar navbar-default">
                <div class="containet-fluid">
                        <a class="navbar-brand" href="https://www.sourcecodester.com">Sourcecodester</a>
                </div>
        </nav>
        <div class="col-md-3"></div>
        <div class="col-md-6 well">
                <h3 class="text-primary">JavaScript - Populate Select Tag With Repeat Using AngularJS</h3>
                <hr style="border-top:1px dotted #ccc;"/>
                <div class="col-md-4">
                        <form>
                                <div class = "form-group">
                                        <label>Enter a string</label>
                                        <input type  = "text" class = "form-control" ng-model = "newList.list"/>
                                </div>  
                                <center><button type="button" class="btn btn-primary" ng-click = "saveMember()"><span class = "glyphicon glyphicon-save"></span> Save</button></center>
                        </form>
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-8">
                        <div class="form-inline">
                                <select class="form-control" >
                                        <option ng-repeat="lists in options">{{lists.list}}</option>
                                </select>
                        </div>
                </div>
        </div>
</body>
<script src="js/angular.js"></script>
<script src="js/script.js"></script>    
</html>

Creating the Main Function

This code contains the main function of the application. This code will add options in select tag when the button is clicked. To do this just copy and write these block of codes as shown below inside the text editor and save it as script.js.

var app = angular.module("myModule", [])
                                                           .controller("myController", function($scope){
                                                                
                                                                $scope.newList = {};
                                                                
                                                                
                                                                $scope.options = [];
                                                                
                                                                $scope.saveMember = function(){
                                                                        $scope.options.push($scope.newList);
                                                                        $scope.newList = {};
                                                                };              
                                                                
                                                });
