Default selection / Programmatically changing selection

I have tried all possible ways to set the default value of select box (single). none worked.

I have tried:-

[active]="{id:'1' , text : 'foo' }"
[active]="[{id:'1' , text : 'foo' }]"

[data]="{id:'1' , text : 'foo' }"
[data]="[{id:'1' , text : 'foo' }]"

Is there a way to change selection Programmatically ?

angular 2.0.0-rc.4 ng2-select 1.0.3

you can do something like this. Its not a clean solution but it works.

@ViewChild(SelectComponent) select: SelectComponent;

changeSelection() {
     if (this.select) {
          this.select.initData = [{id: 1, text: 'new value'}];
          this.select.ngOnInit();
     }
}

My 5 cents. It was tough! template <ng-select name=“dealers” [active]=“activeDealer” [multiple]=“false” [items]=“dealers”
(data)=“refreshValue($event)”//schould be present in code placeholder=“dealers” > </ng-select>

// delcarations dealers : Array < any > = [] activeDealer:Array <any>=[];

// somewhere in code .(async operation) The funny part is with _temp var.
// receiving AJAX response as responseData let _temp = []; responseData.result .forEach((item, index) => { _temp .push({id: item.id, text: item.title}) }); this.dealers = _temp; this.activeDealer=[this.dealers[1]]
