I have the field:
<div class="form-group">
<label style="color:white" for="valor">Valor</label>
<div class="input-group">
<input type="number" value = "0" class="form-control" step="any" name="valor" ng-model="contato.valor" required>
...
However, the field is not initializing with the value defined in the value.
Can anyone help me?
This happens because you have a ng-model . The value of this input is ng-model, you are probably not passing anything to this model, so it goes empty.
Go to your controller and enter a value for this Model, in your case, you want the value to be equal to 0.
Then go to your controller and put:
$scope.contato.valor = 0
