AngularJS: Retain dropdown option after form submit

I'm using AngularJS to populate a dropdown, is there a way to retain which option was chosen after a form submit?

I'm also using PHP so I have the $_POST values, which I would usually write something like:

<?php if ($_POST['dropdown'] === 'this value') { ?> selected<?php } ?>

But I cannot in this case as the options are in a loop:

<option ng-repeat="type in Types" value="{{type.Name}}">{{type.Name}}</option>

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

You're going to need to make an ajax call to get the submitted value and then set the selected property in the dropdown using ng-selected: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngSelected

Angular generally is for single page applications with no postbacks, hence the hackery needed.
