Angular: Select not Showing Options

**Problem: **I’m trying to create a element in my Angular app and I can see the select in the page, but none of the options appear inside of it.

**Solution: **Make sure you’ve added options to populate your selector and an ng-model variable to hold the selected option.  If you don’t have the options, there won’t be anything for the selector to pull in.  If you don’t have an ng-model, Angular won’t display anything inside of your selector.

Example:

Remember, the options are usually pulled in from a $scope.variable created in a controller.  The ng-model variable will be accessible in any controller that has access to the surrounding select element.
