ng-repeat is not working with ng-app value

91 views Asked by M.S.Naidu At 15 February 2016 at 11:17

The directive ng-repeat is not working properly when we give ng-app="MyApp" and which is working without passing any value to the ng-app directive which is a strange behaviour to me. I am new to the AngularJS. Is this behaviour expected?

Please throw some light on this.

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
  <head>
    <title>Books Buddy</title>
    <script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
  </head>
  <body ng-app="MyApp">
    <div ng-init="books=['EffectiveJava','ServletBlackbook','CodeCleaner','HeadFirstJava']">
      <ul>
        <li ng-repeat="book in books">{{book}}</li>
      </ul>
    </div>
  </body>
</html>

This is your way (here we are doing every thing in html only so we don't need custom app.. we can just say "hey angular just do what you can do with things")

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>Books Buddy</title></head>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
<body ng-app>
 <div ng-init="books=['EffectiveJava','ServletBlackbook','CodeCleaner','HeadFirstJava']">
 <ul>
   <li ng-repeat="book in books">{{book}}
   </li>
 </ul>
 </div>
</body>
</html>

This is a correct way (in this we are declaring our own app so we need to set a name for our app..)

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head><title>Books Buddy</title></head>
<body ng-app = "myApp">
 <div ng-controller="mainCtrl">
 <ul>
   <li ng-repeat="book in books">{{book}}</li>
 </ul>
 </div>
</body>

<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
    var app = angular.module("myApp", []);

    app.controller("mainCtrl", function($scope){
        $scope.books = ['EffectiveJava','ServletBlackbook','CodeCleaner','HeadFirstJava'];
    });

</script>
</html>

Use ng-model on books, and here there is no need to wright ng-app="myApp"because You are not initializing you app seperately, above code is not that dynamic so you can use ng-app directly

Try this :

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<title>Books Buddy</title>
<script src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.8/angular.min.js">    </script>
</head>
<body ng-app >
<div ng-init="books=['EffectiveJava','ServletBlackbook','CodeCleaner','HeadFirstJava']">
 <div ng-model="books" >
  <ul ng-repeat="book in books" >
    <li>{{book}}</li>
  </ul>
</div>
</div>
</body>
</html>

When using only ngInit and no controllers, directives or services, you don't need the ngApp. That's how angular works. If you're specifying MyApp as your ngApp angular won't be able to find it and then you get your error.
