Question

I am trying to make a selector component with some of the options. I am not getting any results with this. Something is wrong with the way I’m doing this.

Can anyone help me with this?

var object = {
               "id":"countries",
               "label":"Country",
               "name":"countries",
               "type":"select",
               "options":[
                  {
                     "value":"",
                     "text":"Select Country"
                  },
                  {
                     "value":"in",
                     "text":"India",
                      "selected":"true"
                  },
                  {
                     "value":"us",
                     "text":"United Stated"

                  },
                  {
                     "value":"uk",
                     "text":"United Kingdom"
                  },
                  {
                     "value":"cn",
                     "text":"Canada"
                  }
               ]
};
var select = "";

var mapInfo = function (element,info) {
    $.map(info, function(val,num){
console.log(val);        
    })
}

var generateSelector = function (info){

    select +='<select'+info.id+'></select>'
    select +=mapInfo(select,info.options)

   $('body').append(select);

}(object);

Try this:

var $select = $("<select id='"+obj.id+"' name='"+obj.name+"'/>");
var selected = '';
var generateSelector = function (info){
    $.each(obj.options, function(i, ob){
        if (ob.hasOwnProperty('selected')) {
             selected = ob.value;
        }
        $select.append('<option value='+ob.value+'>'+ ob.text+'</option>')
    })

   $('body').append($select);
   $('select').val(selected)
}
