`select` won't work when `required` attr is set and option's value is `false`

[rexpan]

example of problem

<select ng-model="bValue"
          ng-options="o.value as o.text for o in options"
          required></select>

$scope.options = [{value:true, text:"Yes"}, {value:false, text:"No"}];

When choose "No", bValue is not set to false.

• if remove required attr, it work as normally.
• the "Yes" option works normally.
• $scope.options = [{value:1, text:"Yes"}, {value:0, text:"No"}]; works normally.

Just ran into this as per implementation of required directive:

      var validator = function(value) {
        if (attr.required && (isEmpty(value) || value === false)) {

This seems a bit surprising for false to be interpreted as the absence of a model value. What was the rationale?

[jkl1337]

Answered my own question, I suppose. required treats false this way to work on checkboxes. Solution is to use a custom parser/formatter on the model and change view value to something not falsey (ie 0)
