How to assign a default value to a model in Angular?

Question

Angular

For example, there is a field: It is
<input type="text" value="123" ng-model="name">
necessary to make $scope.name equal to "123". I do it like this:

<input type="text" value="123" ng-model="name" ng-init="name = '123';">

But in the case of textarea, when there can be a lot of text, it slows down the browser a lot and in general, it looks like a crutch.
How to assign value in another way?

Answer 1

The default value should be set in the models (or at least in the controller) and not in the view. It's simpler, more efficient, and the code is easier to maintain.

function Article() {
    this.name = 'Default article name';
    this.text = '# Some default article text\n\nSome paragraph';
}

angular
    .module('app')
    .service('Article', Article),
    .controller('MainCtrl', function (Article) {
        this.article = new Article();
    }
;

Answer 2

Write inside the controller
If this is aria text, then just inside the {{ name }} tags
