Primeng: custom list of objects to dropdown

Created on 15 May 2016 · 7Comments · Source: primefaces/primeng

dropdown gets only array of objects that has two properties:
{label: 'Audi', value: 'Audi'} as strings. otherwise either you get exception Cannot read property 'label' of undefined if has'nt got label property, or the ngmodel wont change if the value property is an object

It would be great if the developer will be able to fill the dropdown with custom objects and a property to show to the user. something like value in data table and field in column.

https://github.com/primefaces/primeng/pull/370 should give you that feature if and when it's merged :)

The same problem:

Template:

<p-dropdown [options]="item.rates">
            <template let-element>
              <li style="position: relative">
                <div>111111</div>
              </li>
            </template>
</p-dropdown>

Can you give some working example? I updated to beta.11 and still got this error...

"fieldLabel" is not in the current master branch available, as far as i could see there have been a merge conflict which moved that fix out again?
@cagataycivici am i right?
