Have you noticed the issue with Angular's logical OR when using it in the option attribute? It seems that when [(ngModel)] is applied within a select element, the [selected] attribute is unable to change

Within the select element, I have an option set up like this:

<option [selected]=" impulse === 10 || isTraining " value="10">10</option>

My assumption was that when any value is assigned to impulse and isTraining is set to true, the current option would be automatically selected due to the presence of the selected keyword in the dropdown. However, this does not seem to be happening. Are logical operators ever evaluated for attributes requiring a boolean value?

The complete select code snippet is as follows:

<select class="form-control" name="flashFormatImpulse" id="field_flashFormatImpulses"
                            (change)="handleFlashImpulseSelection($event)" [(ngModel)]="impulseSelection" [disabled]="isStarted">
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 1" value="1">1</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 2" value="2">2</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 3" value="3">3</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 4" value="4">4</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 5" value="5">5</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 6" value="6">6</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 7" value="7">7</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 8" value="8">8</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 9" value="9">9</option>
                        <option [selected]="impulse === 10 || isTraining" value="10">10</option>
                    </select>

This is how the code appears after minor modifications:

<div class="form-group">
                    <label class="form-control-label" jhiTranslate="businesslogic.flashs.flashcard.impulse"
                           for="field_flashFormatImpulses">Flash Impulse</label>
                    <select class="form-control" name="flashFormatImpulse" id="field_flashFormatImpulses"
                            (change)="handleFlashImpulseSelection($event)" [(ngModel)]="impulseSelection" [disabled]="isStarted">
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 1" value="1">1</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 2" value="2">2</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 3" value="3">3</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 4" value="4">4</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 5" value="5">5</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 6" value="6">6</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 7" value="7">7</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 8" value="8">8</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 9" value="9">9</option>
                        <option [selected]="true" value="10">10</option>
                    </select>
                </div>
                <div>
                    <select class="form-control">
                        <option [selected]="true" value="10">10</option>
                    </select>
                </div>

In both cases, [selected] is used with different values but produces the same outcome.

Update 2

Here is the revised version of the code:

<div class="form-group">
                    <label class="form-control-label" jhiTranslate="businesslogic.flashs.flashcard.impulse"
                           for="field_flashFormatImpulses">Flash Impulse</label>
                    <select class="form-control" name="flashFormatImpulse" [(ngModel)]="impulseSelection" id="field_flashFormatImpulses"
                            (change)="handleFlashImpulseSelection($event)"  [disabled]="isStarted">
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 1" value="1">1</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 2" value="2">2</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 3" value="3">3</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 4" value="4">4</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 5" value="5">5</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 6" value="6">6</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 7" value="7">7</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 8" value="8">8</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 9" value="9">9</option>
                        <option [selected]="impulse === 10 || isTraining" value="10">10</option>
                    </select>
                </div>
                <div class="form-group">
                    <select class="form-control" >
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 3" value="3">9</option>
                        <option *ngIf="!isTraining" [selected]="impulse === 9" value="9">9</option>
                        <option [selected]="impulse === 10 || isTraining" value="10">10</option>
                    </select>
                </div>

                <div>impulse {{impulse}}, isTraining {{isTraining}}, result: {{impulse === 10 || isTraining}}</div>

                <select class="form-control">
                    <option [selected]="impulse === 10 || isTraining" value="10">10</option>
                </select>

The issue with selection seems to stem from using [(ngModel)]="impulseSelection" for the selector along with its initialization as 

impulseSelection = 3;

Under these circumstances, the binding linked to impulseSelection continually overrides the selector's value to 3, even though it should not. It appears that the only viable solution is to enforce a value of 10 on impulseSelection when isTraining is set to true.

Answer №1

It's important to troubleshoot why the code is not working properly. Look into your logs for any potential javascript errors that may be causing the issue. If no errors are found, try starting with an empty select statement and gradually add pieces back in to identify where the problem lies.

In addition, it can be helpful to display the values directly in the HTML to confirm they are correct. For example:

<div>impulse {{impulse}}, isTraining {{isTraining}}, result: {{impulse === 10 || isTraining}}</div>

<select class="form-control">
  <option [selected]="impulse === 10 || isTraining" value="10">10</option>
</select>
