how to add placeholder for select box code example

Example 1: placeholder select html

<!DOCTYPE html>
<head>
</head>
<body>
  <select name="food">
    <!-- The following line makes a placeholder -->
    <option value="" disabled selected hidden>select food</option>
    <option value="apple">apple</option>
    <option value="melon">melon</option>
  </select>
</body>

Example 2: html select placeholder

//<select> tag doesn't have any placeholder attribute.
//But you can make a placeholder by making
//your first option disabled and selected.
//Maybe you would want that option to be hidden,
//just add hidden
  //in Angular you need to add value="undefined"
<select name="gender" required>
  <option value="" selected disabled hidden>Select a Gender</option>
  <option value="Female">Female</option>
  <option value="Male">Male</option>
  <option value="Intersex">Intersex</option>
  <option value="Trans">Trans</option>
  <option value="Non-Conforming">Non-Conforming</option>
  <option value="Personal">Personal</option>
  <option value="Eunuch">Eunuch</option>
</select>
