I have a select input and I am using *ngFor on the options to let the user select from an dynamic array I am getting from the database
<select formControlName="destination_id" (change)="onSelectDestination($any($event.target).value)"
<option *ngFor="let destination of destinations" [ngValue]="destination.id" class="p-3">
{{ destination.name }}
</option>
</select>
The function
onSelectDestination(id: any) {
console.log(id);
}
The problem here is that returns the index of the item and the value
for example: if I chose the third item in the select input it returns this 2: 27
2: is the index and 27 is the id I want
I used substr(3, 2) but it's making problems when the index or the id is bigger than two or three letters
What is the best practice to do this?
Can you try to replace [value] in place of [ngValue]
value is refer to string and ngValue reference to object which includes the index + value.
