Using AngularJS select ng-options with Semantic UI's dropdown

Viewed 10167

So Semantic UI appears to the latest 'hot' UI framework which I'm impressed with; however, their dropdown isn't an implementation of the HTML 'select' and 'option' tags but instead custom. For my project, I'm using AngularJS which is phenomenal JavaScript MVW framework.

How can I integrate AngularJS select ng-option with Semantic UI's dropdown? I'm not much of a JS pro. Here's the JSfidde: http://jsfiddle.net/fMUy3/

    <!doctype html>
<html ng-app="App">

    <body ng-controller="MainCtrl">
            <h3>Option 1 (standard)</h3>

        <select ng-model="selectedItem" ng-options="c as (c.id + ' - ' + c.name) for c in containers">
            <option value="">-- Pick A Container --</option>
        </select>
        <br>ID: {{selectedItem.id}}
        <br>Name: {{selectedItem.name}}
         <h3><a href="http://semantic-ui.com/modules/dropdown.html"> Semantic UI Dropdown</a></h3>

        <div class="ui selection dropdown ">
            <input name="id" type="hidden" value="0">
            <div class="text">-- Pick A Container --</div>  <i class="dropdown icon"></i>   
            <div class="menu transition hidden">
                <div class="item active">-- Pick A Container --</div>
                <div data-value="{{container.id}}" class="item" ng-repeat="container in containers">{{container.name}}</div>
            </div>
    </body>

</html>

JavaScript:

var app = angular.module('App', []);

app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
  $scope.containers = [
  {id: 1, name: 'Box1'},
  {id: 2, name: 'Box2'},
  {id: 3, name: 'Box3'}];

  //$scope.selectedItem = $scope.containers[0];
});

$('.ui.dropdown').dropdown();

Much appreciated!
