I am trying to use the angularjs bootstrap dropdown toggle on a form, and i need to be able to bind the selected item back to a model for a new "organisation" in my application.

Here's my js module i'm using to create all my controls:

var Controls = angular.module('PulseControls', ['ui.bootstrap']);

var booleanButtonCtrl = function($scope) {
    $scope.radioModel = true;  
};

var currencyDropDownButtonCtrl = function($scope) {
    $scope.currencies = [{
        id: 1,
        name: 'US Dollar'
    }, {
    id: 2,
    name: 'Euro'
}, {
    id: 3,
    name: 'Australian Dollar'
}];    
};

Here's my starting code for my CreateNewOrganisation controller

function CreateOrganisationController($scope, $http, $window) {
    $scope.newOrganisation = {
        isActive: true,
};

and finally, here's my html code snippet, which includes a for "Status" and a for Currency, both of which use ui-bootstrap...

        <div class="form-group">
            <label class="control-label">Status</label><br />
            <div ng-controller="booleanButtonCtrl">
                <div class="btn-group">
                    <button type="button"
                            class="btn btn-primary"
                            data-ng-model="newOrganisation.isActive"
                            btn-radio="true">
                        Active
                    </button>
                    <button type="button"
                            class="btn btn-primary"
                            data-ng-model="newOrganisation.isActive"
                            btn-radio="false">
                        Dormant
                    </button>
                </div>
            </div>
        </div>

        <div class="form-group">
            <label class="control-label">Currency</label>
            <div class="dropdown" data-ng-controller="dropDownButtonCtrl">
                <div class="btn-group">
                    <a class="btn btn-primary dropdown-toggle">Please select<span class="caret"></span></a>
                    <ul class="dropdown-menu">
                        <li ng-repeat="currency in currencies">
                            <a ng-model = "newOrganisation.currency">{{currency.name}}</a>
                        </li>
                    </ul>
                </div>

            </div>
        </div>

The approach taken in the Status works nicely, but I can't get the dropdown control for Currency to work. Any suggestions?

Can you post a plunker with your code? It'd be a lot easier to troubleshoot. – kl02 Jan 10 '14 at 22:20

<div class="dropdown" data-ng-controller="dropDownButtonCtrl">

I suspect the value for data-ng-controller here should be

currencyDropDownButtonCtrl

This is a late response but nevertheless here is the plunker to accomplish this. Please note that the model in the controller that contains all the countries data does not have an ID for all the countries. Rather I only added id values for the first 9 countries in the model (NOT AS SEEN IN THE DROPDOWN which is sorted). So you could pick China, India and Brazil to test.

    var testController = ['$scope', '$http',
  function($scope, $http) {

    $scope.status = 'loading...';
    $scope.country = "Select Country";
    $scope.data = {
        "locations": {}
    };
    $scope.selectedCountryId = "1";
    $scope.onCountrySelect = function(selectedCountry){
      //$scope.country = selectedCountry.country;
      $scope.selectedCountryId = selectedCountry.id;
    }
  $scope.selectInitial = function(id){
      for (var i = 0; i < $scope.data.locations.countries.length; i++) {
        if ($scope.data.locations.countries[i].id == id)
        {
          return $scope.data.locations.countries[i].country;
        }
      }
      //$scope.country = selectedCountry.country;
    }
    //load JSON data
    $http.get('countries.json')
      .then(function(res) {
        $scope.data.locations.countries = res.data;
        $scope.status = "loaded "+$scope.data.locations.countries.length+" countries.";
        $scope.$apply();
      });


  }
];

For anyone interested in a template only solution:

<div class="btn-group" uib-dropdown is-open="status.isopen">
  <button id="single-button" type="button" class="btn btn-primary" uib-dropdown-toggle ng-disabled="disabled">
    {{ selected || 'Select an option...' }}
    <span class="caret"></span>
  </button>
  <ul class="dropdown-menu" uib-dropdown-menu role="menu" aria-labelledby="single-button">
    <li role="menuitem" ng-repeat="option in options">
        <a href="" ng-click="selected === null" ng-if="$index === 0">Select an option...</a>
        <a href="" ng-click="selected === option">{{ option }}</a>
        <input type="hidden" name="options" ng-model="selected" required>
    </li>
  </ul>
</div>

You use a hidden input with the ng-model set like you normally would and use an ng-click to bind the model to a given value, from an ng-repeat for example. The rest of the markup is copy/paste from ui-boostrap template example.
