not binding initial model value

[bruno-barros]

I'm passing a model with some IDs, but the dropdown don't initialize these values. Always starts with no selected items.

<div w11k-select ng-model="item.role_ids">
item.role_ids = [1,2,3]

How could I accomplish that?

I forked the plunker example and tried to apply a inital value: http://plnkr.co/edit/s1j20CAiOqlioeAWvo5y?p=preview
$scope.select.selection = [{ label: 1, value: 1 }, { label: 2, value: 2 }];
or
$scope.select.selection = [1,2];

Looking the code I noted that the controller.$viewValue return undefined, no matter if ng-model has some. So a included a new scope attribute on directive and now I can get the model initial value.
scope: { initModel: '=' },
Now inside updateOptions() I did var viewValue = scope.initModel || controller.$viewValue; and it works. I don't know why controller.$viewValue is returning undefined.

Hi Bruno,

Thanks for the bug report and the plunker. I fixed it. The viewValue was set in applyConfig with an empty selection. I will release 0.4.6 with this fix and some performance improvements as soon as possible.

By the way: A workaround for 0.4.5 is to use $timeout to set the initial selection.

Yeah!!!
