usercomments.component.ts

<select class="form-control" (change)="reloadposts({userid: u.value})" #u>   <option value="">select user...</option>   <option *ngfor="let user of users" value="{{user.id}}">      {{user.name}}</option>    </select>    <div class="container">     <table class="table table-bordered">      <tbody *ngfor="let post of _posts">       <tr>         <td>{{post.body}}</td>         <td>k</td>         <td>k</td>       </tr>      </tbody>   </table> </div> 

usercomments.component.ts

import { component, oninit } '@angular/core'; import {userpostservice} './userpost.service'; import {userservice} '../users/user.service'; @component({   selector: 'app-usercomments',   templateurl: './usercomments.component.html',   styleurls: ['./usercomments.component.css'],   providers: [userpostservice, userservice] }) export class usercommentscomponent implements oninit { private _posts; users = []; private selectedid;  postloading; private currentpost;   constructor(private _userpostservice: userpostservice, private _userservice:userservice) {    }    ngoninit() {     this.selectedid= this.users[1]; this._userservice.getusers() .subscribe(users => this.users = users); this.loadposts();   }   loadposts(filter?){      this.postloading = true;     this._userpostservice.getposts(filter)     .subscribe(res => {     this._posts = res;      })    } reloadposts(filter){  this.currentpost = null;  this.loadposts(filter); } } 

use ngmodel

<select [ngmodel]="selectedid" class="form-control" 

and assign id of item want have selected selectedid, select element show item selected.

you can use user object instance instead of user.id need use [ngvalue]="user" , ensure selected in [ngmodel]="selected" gets 1 of instance fromusers` assigned.
