Question

I know that this has been spoken about in some Google Threads but I still can’t find the right solution to bind my radio inputs to a model (in clean’n simple manner),

Currently I have HTML:

<input ng-model="searchByRma" type="radio" name="search-type">
<input ng-model="searchByDelivery" type="radio" name="search-type">

And in Controller:

$scope.searchByRma      = true;
$scope.searchByDelivery = false;

This does not work (as it would with the checkboxes)…

Any ideas on how to set the default value on the first radio button without loosing data-binding?

Thanks!

Answer 1

I think you should use same variable with different values in those
two radio buttons.

<input ng-model="searchBy" value="Rma" type="radio" name="search-type">
<input ng-model="searchBy" value="Delivery" type="radio" name="search-type">

Then, you should have searchBy set either “Rma” or “Delivery” depending on
user input.
