AngularJS and wijdropdown

In this Angular getting started guide, you'll learn how to use the wijdropdown in an HTML project using HTML markup, jQuery script, and AngularJS directives.

For more complex samples that have the controller and model in separate files, see Wijmo Charts in the AngularJS Directive Gallery on our web site.

Add the following code and save the document with an .html extension to create a new HTML page in your favorite text editor.

Add links to the dependencies to your HTML page within the <head> tags. Find the latest dependencies in the content delivery network (CDN) file at wijmo cdn. Along with our usual references, we add two script references for Angular that must come after the jQuery references, so they are the last two lines:

For AngularJS itself.
For Wijmo's Angular javascript integration library.

Add the following markup within the <body> tags to create the widget.

We use a <wij-dropdown> directive to create the widget, and set several options as attributes within the element:
- Set the height and width options.
We use nested elements in the markup to set the header, group, options and selected option in the dropdown.
- Set label and value Inside our optgroup directive.
- Choose one of the options to show the selected field from the dropdown.
- Set the header text to show the title for the dropdown.
