How can I validate md-select ?

Answer 1

You can validate md-select the same way it's shown in the documentation. The main idea is to create a reference #someName and the use that reference to do the validation. There are six controls that Angular provides: touched, untouched, dirty, pristine, valid and invalid.

I created a Plunker demo for you with the dirty validation for md-select .

You can read more about validation in the "Track control state and validity with ngModel" section, here: https://angular.io/docs/ts/latest/guide/forms.html
