Question

angular mat-select setting default value reactive forms

Answer 1

<mat-select> is a form control for selecting a value from a set of options, similar to the native <select> element. You can read more about selects in the Material Design spec. It is designed to work inside of a <mat-form-field> element.

To add options to the select, add <mat-option> elements to the <mat-select>. Each <mat-option> has a value property that can be used to set the value that will be selected if the user chooses this option. The content of the <mat-option> is what will be shown to the user.
