Not selecting option on load about angular-selectize HOT 5 CLOSED

@tachang #16 is not the same issue ?

Kinda. I used #16 to solve some of this. But I also have a drop down that has a value that is not in the initial options.

What is the best method to use? Basically suppose you are selecting from 10000 options. You don't want to load all 10k options. So obviously you do ajax calls with a search query parameter. However when you go to edit the option you selected you need a way to call the server and ask it to load the one currently selected out of the 10000. The load callback of selectize is called on init but before the options are bound. Sorry if this is a bit unclear. Normally I'd expect the load callback to fire with 'this' set to what is current selected so I can do this.getValue().

If you could make a plunkr illustrating this it would help. There seem to be a lot of factors at play.

I already wrote a comment on the issue #16 but as it is closed, let me bring it here :
I also had this issue and I wonder what is the best practice, but I really don't feel like putting ng-if on all my inputs... Imagine the scenario where one would like to use a remote server to provide options to the select, a select can still have a default value even without loading the options from the server at the beginning no ? And also, if it is a multiple select, I can imagine that the options do not match the possible values all the time. If I select Iron man from a movie API and then start typing spid, the options returned from the server won't have Iron man among them but I don't want my value to be unselected.

If you are loading options dynamically via AJAX, then use Angular.extend() to merge them with the existing options in your controller. I still think what you are trying to do can be done with the current design. But feel free to create a Plunkr proving me wrong. :)
