I'm using angularjs, and I've been trying to create an optgroup for the past 2 days while working on some other stuff, and I'm stumped. I had to create an ng-options, but didn't consider an optgroup until I realized I needed one. I tried using the ng-options to add it in, but it would either ignore it completely, mess up the code or ignore the options completely.
I had no clue if I could actually use the (double) ampersand, so I tried combining both ng-options, but to no avail. Furthermore, I toyed around with a specific code found in odetocode (which seemed promising, but could not be incorporated with my code, because of its own limited structure).
Everything I tried breaks my code. The original code is below (the one prior to most of my many other mods), but I also have the plunker for it:
