How to use ember select for static dropdown?

This has to be easy, but I'm failing.

I have this in a template:

<select {{action 'setType' this value="target.value"}}> <!-- I've tried various things for the value -->
  <option value="0">Choice 1</option>
  <option value="1">Choice 2</option>
</select>

I have this in a controller:

setType: function(mymodel, type) {
  mymodel.set('type', type);
  mymodel.save();
}

The action is firing, the model is available, but none of my guesses are sending the value of the select to the controller action.

I'm using Ember 1.13.7

You need to link your action to the event onchange:

<select onchange={{action "setType" value="target.value"}}>

Also, take into account that you are naming value the parameter that the action will receive and you aren't sending the model in that action as a parameter.
