[Feature] Set the pre-selected values in the items array

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. The API i’m consumming returns a list containing the select options (the label, the value & a boolean indicating if the option must be pre-selected or not). Something like :

options = [
  {
    label: 'label1',
    value: 1,
    selected: true
   },
  {
    label: 'label2',
    value: 2,
    selected: false
   },
  {
    label: 'label3',
    value: 3,
    selected: true
   },
]

But currently I haven’t found an elegant solution to pre-select theses options.

Describe the solution you’d like The possibility to pass a boolean (called selected or not) saying if the option must be pre-selected would be nice. <ng-select [items]="(options)" [multiple]="true"></ng-select>

+1 for umangchadha’s comment above…

Angular is giving (the following) WARNING when we try to use ngModel inside a Reactive Form (formControlName).

_**It looks like you’re using ngModel on the same form field as formControlName. Support for using the ngModel input property and ngModelChange event with reactive form directives has been deprecated in Angular v6 and will be removed in a future version of Angular.

For more information on this, see our API docs here:
https://angular.io/api/forms/FormControlName#use-with-ngmodel**_
