Select2 triggers onchange when init

[ghost]

When the page loads, the ui.select2 will trigger a change event even though the select wasn't touched. It seems to be this line's culprit: https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-select2/blob/v0.0.5/src/select2.js#L127

What does this do ?The comment above it doesn't really help ...

check this #173

I don't know about #173 or related issues, I think this is slightly different. There are several variables in play that makes a single solution difficult. (for example, whether you're using a SELECT tag or not, the code does different things - I am using a DIV because I want to use tags). I have two solutions to prevent the onchange event on init:

1. Change source code on line 210*:

controller.$setViewValue(
  convertToAngularModel(elm.select2('data'))
);

to:

controller.$setViewValue(controller.$modelValue);

2. (I'm doing this, so I don't need to mess with source code): Set options.initSelection to "true" or "function(){}" (either one doesn't seem to cause an error for me) so ui-select2 doesn't trigger the controller.$setViewValue.

* I don't understand why controller.$setViewValue() is even needed. It's being passed an array of values from the same array inside controller.$modelValue, but it's a new array because first it's translated by select2, than re-translated by convertToAngularModel, hence $setViewValue() triggers the onchange event.

+1 for this!

ui-select2 is deprecated, you should use https://github.com/angular-ui/ui-select instead. It is very unlikely that this issue will be fixed.
