I know that this is an old question, but comments where recently added to the accepted answer.
For angularjs 1.4.x the proposed directive must be adapted to get it working again.
Because of the breaking change in ngOptions, the value of the option isn't anymore the index, so the line
option = elem.find('option[value=' + index + ']');
won't work anymore.
If you change the code in the plunker to
<select ng-model="foo" ng-options="x.id as x.name for x in items"
options-class="{ 'is-eligible' : eligible, 'not-eligible': !eligible }">
</select>
As result the value of the option tag will now be
value="number:x"
(x is the id of the item object)
Change the directive to
option = elem.find('option[value=\'number:' + item.id + '\']');
to get it working again.
Of course this isn't a generic solution, because what if you have not an id in your object?
Then you will find value="object:y"
in your option tag where y is a number generated by angularjs, but with this y
you can't map to your items.
Hopes this helps some people to get their code again working after the update of angularjs to 1.4.x
I tried also to use the track by
in ng-options
, but didn't get it to work.
Maybe people with more experience in angularjs then me (= my first project in angularjs)?
