[angularjs] How to iterate over the keys and values with ng-repeat in AngularJS?

In my controller, I have data like: $scope.object = data

Now this data is the dictionary with keys and values from json.

I can access the attribute with object.name in the template. Is there any way that I can iterate over the keys as well and display them in table like

<tr><td> {{key}} </td> <td> data.key </td>

The data is like this

{
    "id": 2,
    "project": "wewe2012",
    "date": "2013-02-26",
    "description": "ewew",
    "eet_no": "ewew",
}

            ]   
        };

            return angular.isArray(bigL1);

I don't think there's a builtin function in angular for doing this, but you can do this by creating a separate scope property containing all the header names, and you can fill this property automatically like this:

var data = {
  foo: 'a',
  bar: 'b'
};

$scope.objectHeaders = [];

for ( property in data ) {
  $scope.objectHeaders.push(property); 
}

// Output: [ 'foo', 'bar' ]

If you would like to edit the property value with two way binding:

<tr ng-repeat="(key, value) in data">
    <td>{{key}}<input type="text" ng-model="data[key]"></td>
</tr>

we can follow below procedure to avoid display of key-values in alphabetical order.

Javascript

$scope.data = {
   "id": 2,
   "project": "wewe2012",
   "date": "2013-02-26",
   "description": "ewew",
   "eet_no": "ewew",
};
var array = [];
for(var key in $scope.data){
    var test = {};
    test[key]=$scope.data[key];
    array.push(test);
}
$scope.data = array;

HTML

<p ng-repeat="obj in data">
   <font ng-repeat="(key, value) in obj">
      {{key}} : {{value}}
   </font>
</p>

You can do it in your javascript (controller) or in your html (angular view)...

js:

$scope.arr = [];
for ( p in data ) {
  $scope.arr.push(p); 
}

html:

<tr ng-repeat="(k, v) in data">
    <td>{{k}}<input type="text" ng-model="data[k]"></td>
</tr>

I believe the html way is more angular , but you can also do in your controller and retrieve it in your html...

also not a bad idea to look at the Object keys, they give you the an array of the keys if you need them, more info here:

    Use below code it is working to display your key and value here is key start with 1:
         <tr ng-repeat="(key,value) in alert_list" >
                   <td>{{key +1}}</td>
                   <td>{{value.title}}</td>
                 </tr>
Below is document link for it.

A todo list example which loops over object by ng-repeat:

_x000D_
_x000D_
var app = angular.module('toDolistApp', []);_x000D_
app.controller('toDoListCntrl', function() {_x000D_
  var self = this;_x000D_
  self.toDoListItems = {};// []; //dont use square brackets if keys are string rather than numbers._x000D_
  self.doListCounter = 0;_x000D_
_x000D_
  self.addToDoList = function() {         _x000D_
    var newToDoItem = {};_x000D_
    newToDoItem.title     = self.toDoEntry;_x000D_
    newToDoItem.completed = false;     _x000D_
_x000D_
    var keyIs = "key_" + self.doListCounter++;       _x000D_
_x000D_
    self.toDoListItems[keyIs] = newToDoItem;     _x000D_
    self.toDoEntry = ""; //after adding the item make the input box blank._x000D_
  };_x000D_
});_x000D_
_x000D_
app.filter('propsCounter', function() {_x000D_
  return function(input) {_x000D_
    return Object.keys(input).length;_x000D_
  }_x000D_
});
_x000D_
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script>_x000D_
<body ng-app="toDolistApp">    _x000D_
  <div ng-controller="toDoListCntrl as toDoListCntrlAs">_x000D_
    Total Items: {{toDoListCntrlAs.toDoListItems | propsCounter}}<br />_x000D_
    Enter todo Item:  <input type="text" ng-model="toDoListCntrlAs.toDoEntry"/>_x000D_
    <span>{{toDoListCntrlAs.toDoEntry}}</span>_x000D_
    <button ng-click="toDoListCntrlAs.addToDoList()">Add Item</button> <br/>_x000D_
    <div ng-repeat="(key, prop) in toDoListCntrlAs.toDoListItems"> _x000D_
      <span>{{$index+1}} : {{key}}   : Title = {{ prop.title}} : Status = {{ prop.completed}} </span>_x000D_
    </div>     _x000D_
  </div>    _x000D_
</body>

_x000D_
_x000D_


Here's a working example:

<div class="item item-text-wrap" ng-repeat="(key,value) in form_list">
  <b>{{key}}</b> : {{value}}
</div>
