Definition and Usage
The ng-selected directive sets the selected attribute of an
<option> element in a <select> list.
The option will be selected if the expression inside the ng-selected attribute returns true.
The ng-selected directive is necessary to be able to shift the
value between true and false. In HTML, you cannot set
the selected attribute to false (the presence of the selected attribute makes the element selected, regardless of it's value).
Syntax
<option ng-selected="expression"></option>
Supported by the <option> element.
