placeholder's dont work (need to use variable to bind)

Using angular 1.5.1 and latest version of angular-chosen

tried defining the chosen select as so:

select.form-control(
    name='school'
    chosen
    ng-model='pageData.selectedSchool'
    ng-options='school.name for school in pageData.schools'
    ng-if='!isDisabled'
    required
    ng-change='pageData.selectSchool($item)'
    data-placeholder="Pick one of these"
  )

And the placeholder is not set to “Pick one of these”. I’ve also tried using placeholder-text-single and placeholder attributes and they also do not work (placeholder-text-single actually gives an error).

@leocaseiro thanks for the speedy response! i looked at your plunkr and noticed that i’m setting the attribute wrong. instead of placeholder-text-single='hello there' it should be placeholder-text-single="'hello there'"

this was not reflected in the documentation and is possibly why i was confused. if you’re up for it i can do a pull request on your docs to update this.

btw, we are also a techstars company, so hi!

Yeah! This because those string attributes emulating a scope type ‘@’ With that said, you could have a variable to bind on your placeholder:

$scope.customPlaceholder: 'My message';

<select chosen placeholder-text-single="customPlaceholder">...</select>

PR are always welcome. We use slate on docs branch.

Send me a PR there. That would be nice refer the egghead link.
