[angularjs] How to get option text value using AngularJS?

I'm trying to get a text value of an option list using AngularJS

Here is my code snippet

<div class="container-fluid">
        Sort by:
        <select ng-model="productList">
            <option value="prod_1">Product 1</option>
            <option value="prod_2">Product 2</option>
        </select>
</div>

<p>Ordered by: {{productList}}</p>

{{productList}} returns the value of the option, eg: prod_1. I'm trying to get the text value 'Product 1'. Is there a way to do this?

Instead of ng-options="product as product.label for product in products"> in the select element, you can even use this:

<option ng-repeat="product in products" value="{{product.label}}">{{product.label}}

which works just fine as well.

<div ng-controller="ExampleController">
  <form name="myForm">
    <label for="repeatSelect"> Repeat select: </label>
    <select name="repeatSelect" id="repeatSelect" ng-model="data.model">
      <option ng-repeat="option in data.availableOptions" value="{{option.id}}">{{option.name}}</option>
    </select>
  </form>
  <hr>
  <tt>model = {{data.model}}</tt><br/>
</div>

AngularJS:

angular.module('ngrepeatSelect', [])
 .controller('ExampleController', ['$scope', function($scope) {
   $scope.data = {
    model: null,
    availableOptions: [
      {id: '1', name: 'Option A'},
      {id: '2', name: 'Option B'},
      {id: '3', name: 'Option C'}
    ]
   };
}]);

taken from AngularJS docs

Also you can do like this:

<select class="form-control postType" ng-model="selectedProd">
    <option ng-repeat="product in productList" value="{{product}}">{{product.name}}</option>
</select>

where "selectedProd" will be selected product.
