How can I add empty option in the beginning when I use ng-option to provide predefined list of options which doesn't include empty one?

An example in jade

select(ng-model="property.Value", ng-options="item.Value as item.Name for item in property.Choices")

Just add an option with empty value inside of the select.

select(ng-model="property.Value", ng-options="item.Value as item.Name for item in property.Choices")
  option(value="")

Here's an example - http://jsfiddle.net/sseletskyy/uky9m/1/

What if the data comes from a services for example? Besides that I generally try to avoid view-specific things in the controller. It would be great if there was a way to do that in the view. Maybe using a directive?! – fnx Jul 15 '14 at 15:20
    
not working if you choose an option and then like to change back to empty option. – dang May 10 '16 at 18:52
    
@dang please provide an example when it doesn't work e.g. here is my another example - codepen.io/sseletskyy/pen/KzYaQq – Serge Seletskyy May 13 '16 at 13:20

just modify the property.choices array in angular.

$scope.property.Choices.splice(0, 0, {"id":"0","Name":"Richard"});
