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

[stringbeans]

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).

Hi @stringbeans, thank you for your request.

The correct placeholders for Chosen and Angular Chosen are:
placeholder-text-multiple and placeholder-text-single

Check our Documentation and an Example

Sorry I've just read your last expression:

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).

Could you please be more specific about your error?

That would be nice if you could fork my plunkr and make your changes.

My plunkr up to date with Angular Chosen 1.3.0 and Angular 1.5.1: http://plnkr.co/edit/PWvVlB?p=preview

Tested up to multiple and single following your settings

@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!

[leocaseiro]

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.
