JS:

  $scope.list = ["foo", "bar"];

Front:

  <md-input-container flex>
      <select class="md-input" ng-model="select" ng-options="value for value in list"></select>
  </md-input-container>
*/

}

Nice! Though, flex is probably not needed by default on <md-input-container>?

Yes, you're right.

Do you have an snippet showing how you got the labels 'CodeList' and 'Lang' to appear so nicely next to the select in your attached image on the comment you left on issue 276?

this is great, thank you.

...Well, it happens I just had this tab open for a time and now I have forgotten wheter this was userful or not.
What was the purpose of this gist?
