Bind Objects to ngModel

To bind an object to the ngModel in a Kendo UI DropDownList, use k-ng-model.

The k-ng-model binding does not update the internal $dirty and $pristine properties that are used by the built-in AngularJS validation. This approach also works for the Kendo UI ComboBox widget.

For more information on the differences between the ng-model and k-ng-model bindings, refer to the section on scope bindings.

For more information on how to alternatively use the Kendo UI Validator, refer to the runnable example on validation and to the introductory article of the Validator.
