How can i reuse the selected item outside the ui-select?

Question

i am using the ui-select and would like to use the selected item outside the ui-select control. I tried using {{$select.selected.name}} but this did not work. I want to reuse it in an ng-repeats filter.

Solved!

I have used

<ui-select ng-model="listOfCategoryTypes.ID" ...

When i use {{listOfCategoryTypes.ID}} outside the ui-select it give the JSON Object. When i extend

{{listOfCategoryTypes.ID.Name}}

with .Name (i have a property called Name), then i get the properties value!
