title: angularJS - add a Static option with ng-options
body: <p>I am using ng-options to print all the options for a form in my angular app. I get the value directly from my database which gives me a list of countries:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select ng-options="country.country for country in countries" ng-model="selectedCountry" ng-change="updateSelectedCountry(selectedCountry)" class="form-control"&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here when the page is loaded, the select doesnt show anything, i.e. there is no placeholder whereas I'd like to print a static value like "anywhere" without having to add it in my "countries" list.</p>
  
  <p>I have tried this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;select ng-options="country.country for country in countries" ng-model="selectedCountry" ng-change="updateSelectedCountry(selectedCountry)" class="form-control"&gt;
  &lt;option&gt;Anywhere&lt;/option&gt;
  &lt;/select&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>But it's not working</p>
  
  <p>Does anyone have an idea how to solve this?</p>
  
  <p>Thanks</p>
