Dropdown value is not binding with associative array

Question

I have an associative array like below which I want to bind with my dropdown:

{
        "Item1": [
          {
            "title": "Item1",
            "choices": [
              "Egg",
              "burger",
            ]
          }
        ],
        "Item2": [
          {
            "title": "Item2",
            "choices": [
              "Pizza",
              "Rice",
            ]
          }
        ]
     }

I am trying to bind dropdown based on this associative array, but the problem is it is displaying as object object .

I want to show title in dropdown for each of the item like below:

Item1
Item2

I have tried to take reference from below SO question but it didn't work out:

key-value pairs in ng-options

Angularjs ng-options with an array of key-pair

 var app = angular.module("myApp", []); app.controller("MyController", function ($scope) { $scope.item= { "Item1": [ { "title": "Item1", "choices": [ "Egg", "burger", ] } ], "Item2": [ { "title": "Item2", "choices": [ "Pizza", "Rice", ] } ] } }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script> <ul ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="MyController"> <select ng-model="myItem.title" ng-options="key as value for (key , value) in item"> <option value="">Select Items</option> </select> </ul> 

Answer 1

It should be like to this:

   ng-options="value as key for (key , value) in item">

 var app = angular.module("myApp", []); app.controller("MyController", function ($scope) { $scope.item= { "Item1": [ { "title": "Item1", "choices": [ "Egg", "burger", ] } ], "Item2": [ { "title": "Item2", "choices": [ "Pizza", "Rice", ] } ] } }); 

 <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script> <ul ng-app="myApp" ng-controller="MyController"> <select ng-model="myItem.title" ng-options="value as key for (key , value) in item"> <option value="">Select Items</option> </select> {{myItem.title}} </ul>
