Definition and Usage
The ng-options directive fills a <select> element with
<options>.
The ng-options directive uses an array to fill the dropdown
list. In many cases it would be easier to use the ng-repeat
directive, but you have more flexibility when using the ng-options
directive.
Syntax
<select ng-options="array expression"></select>
Supported by the <select> element.
