Radio button checked by default when using ng-repeat

Question

I have been wanting to have a radio button checked out of a list of radio buttons that I present in the screen using ng-repeat, but my code does not work. This is what I am doing:

<div class="clubRole" data-ng-if="club.checked">
    <div data-ng-repeat="role in securityGroups.slice(0,1)">
        <input type="radio" class="clubRole" data-ng-model="club.role" data-ng-value="role.securityGroupCode" checked="checked"> {{role.description}}
    </div>
    <div data-ng-repeat="role in securityGroups.slice(1,securityGroups.length+1)">
        <input type="radio" class="clubRole" data-ng-model="club.role" data-ng-value="role.securityGroupCode"> {{role.description}}
    </div>      
</div>

The intention of the code is to get the first radio button checked, and the others unchecked. That code has a problem: it does not work. But at least it gives the idea of what I am trying to do: I want one of the radio buttons checked by default, no matter which one it is.

Answer 1

Radio button will be check if the value of the input attribute is equal to the value of modal applied on the radio button.

 <div ng-repeat="val in ['a','b','c']">
     <input
            type="radio"
            name="val"
            data-ng-model="role" 
            data-ng-value="val"
            ng-init="$index==0?(role=val):''"
      />
     {{val}}
 </div>

Checked="checked" will not work in angular context. You can either set the value of radio button explicitly in controller or you can manage it in the view itself as i did in the above example.But the modal should be equate according to the value attribute on the inmput element.

For example if modal is x on three radio button's and each radio button have different value like a,b and c. then x must be equal to any of the value to be checked.
