• 2 The concept with angular is that view should be controlled by the controller. Therefore you shouldn't really send the value to controller but let the controller control the view. Take a look at ngOption documentation and use ngModel to bind the value – Endless Commented Nov 1, 2016 at 17:18
• Agree with the above -- definitely check out the ngOption documentation – Nathan Beck Commented Nov 1, 2016 at 17:43

You have to use ng-model for this. Just change your select like this

<select class="form-control" id="product" ng-model="selectedProduct" required data-error="Select a Product!" tabindex="1">
    <option value="" selected >Select a Product!</option>
    <option value="{{product.codigo}}" ng-repeat="product in products">{{product.name}}</option>
</select>

Then in your controller you can access its value using

$scope.selectedProduct

For mor info about how the NgModel works you should read the docs

Use ngModel. You may also want to use ngOptions to generate the option tags for you.

For example:

<select ng-model="value" ng-options="option.value as option.label for option in options"></select>

The value will be available on your controller's scope ($scope.value). $scope.options should be an array of objects defining your options.
