Dropdown/select list controller - setting logged in user as the default user

[Dawg]

Hello,

I have a select/dropdown controller with a list of names populated at initial startup and this works.

What I like to do is to have the select controller have the logged in user as the default user selected/displayed.

for example, loggedInMember = 3 (3 representing the index number of the user who is logged in).

If possible, I also like to minimize the coding in the html to keep it clean.

So, the question is how do i go about doing that?

form.component.html

<div class="form-group">

<label class="control-label" for="drp_severityID">Assign incident to: (default To: Mike Smith)</label>

<select class="form-control" formControlName="memberList">                     

<option *ngFor="let mem of getMemberList" [value]="mem.usr_index">{{mem.usr_firstname}} {{mem.usr_lastname}}</option>                             

</select>

</div>

Hi,

In your controller, assign loggedInMember to memerList
