In my opinion the correct way to set a default value is to simply pre-fill your ng-model property with the value selected from your ng-options , angular does the rest. Essentially when you define the $scope property your select will bind to assign it the default value from your data array.
The ng-change event is triggered at every change in the value. It will not wait until all changes are made, or when the input field loses focus. The ng-change event is only triggered if there is a actual change in the input value, and not if the change was made from a JavaScript.
The AngularJS ng-value directive is used to set the value attribute of an input element, or a select element. It is mainly used on <radio> and <option> elements to set the bound values when these elements are selected. It is supported by <input> and <select> elements.
Definition and Usage. The ng-selected directive sets the selected attribute of an <option> element in a <select> list. The option will be selected if the expression inside the ng-selected attribute returns true. The ng-selected directive is necessary to be able to shift the value between true and false .
as Artyom said you need to use ngChange and pass ngModel object as argument to your ngChange function
Example:
<div ng-app="App" >
<div ng-controller="ctrl">
<select ng-model="blisterPackTemplateSelected" ng-change="changedValue(blisterPackTemplateSelected)"
data-ng-options="blisterPackTemplate as blisterPackTemplate.name for blisterPackTemplate in blisterPackTemplates">
<option value="">Select Account</option>
</select>
{{itemList}}
</div>
</div>
js:
function ctrl($scope) {
$scope.itemList = [];
$scope.blisterPackTemplates = [{id:1,name:"a"},{id:2,name:"b"},{id:3,name:"c"}];
$scope.changedValue = function(item) {
$scope.itemList.push(item.name);
}
}

I may be late for this but I had somewhat the same problem.
I needed to pass both the id and the name into my model but all the orthodox solutions had me make code on the controller to handle the change.
I macgyvered my way out of it using a filter.
<select
ng-model="selected_id"
ng-options="o.id as o.name for o in options"
ng-change="selected_name=(options|filter:{id:selected_id})[0].name">
</select>
<script>
angular.module("app",[])
.controller("ctrl",['$scope',function($scope){
$scope.options = [
{id:1, name:'Starbuck'},
{id:2, name:'Appolo'},
{id:3, name:'Saul Tigh'},
{id:4, name:'Adama'}
]
}])
</script>
The "trick" is here:
ng-change="selected_name=(options|filter:{id:selected_id})[0].name"
I'm using the built-in filter to retrieve the correct name for the id
Here's a plunkr with a working demo.
Please, use for it ngChange directive.
For example:
<select ng-model="blisterPackTemplateSelected"
ng-options="blisterPackTemplate as blisterPackTemplate.name for blisterPackTemplate in blisterPackTemplates"
ng-change="changeValue(blisterPackTemplateSelected)"/>
And pass your new model value in controller as a parameter:
ng-change="changeValue(blisterPackTemplateSelected)"
Best practise is to create an object (always use a . in ng-model)
In your controller:
var myObj: {
ngModelValue: null
};
and in your template:
<select
ng-model="myObj.ngModelValue"
ng-options="o.id as o.name for o in options">
</select>
Now you can just watch
myObj.ngModelValue
or you can use the ng-change directive like so:
<select
ng-model="myObj.ngModelValue"
ng-options="o.id as o.name for o in options"
ng-change="myChangeCallback()">
</select>
The egghead.io video "The Dot" has a really good overview, as does this very popular stack overflow question: What are the nuances of scope prototypal / prototypical inheritance in AngularJS?
You can pass the ng-model value through the ng-change function as a parameter:
<select
ng-model="blisterPackTemplateSelected"
data-ng-options="blisterPackTemplate as blisterPackTemplate.name for blisterPackTemplate in blisterPackTemplates"
ng-change="changedValue(blisterPackTemplateSelected)">
<option value="">Select Account</option>
</select>
It's a bit difficult to know your scenario without seeing it, but this should work.
You can do something like this
<html ng-app="App" >
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.3.14/angular.min.js"></script>
<script>
angular.module("App",[])
.controller("ctrl",['$scope',function($scope){
$scope.changedValue = function(item){
alert(item);
}
}]);
</script>
<div >
<div ng-controller="ctrl">
<select ng-model="blisterPackTemplateSelected" ng-change="changedValue(blisterPackTemplateSelected)" >
<option value="">Select Account</option>
<option value="Add">Add</option>
</select>
</div>
</div>
</html>
instead of add option you should use data-ng-options.I have used Add option for testing purpose
