The '#' column should be auto generate when rendering the model in view through ng-repeat. Honestly I don't know where to start cos i don't know how to do it. I will be glad if anyone can help me or point me to the right source. Thank you.

Answer 1

Inside ng-repeat, you can use:

{{$index +1}}

So for example:

<tr ng-repeat="student in students">
  <td>#{{$index + 1}}</td>
  <td>{{student.name}}</td>
</tr>

$index is a variable provided by the ng-repeat directive which gives you the current index. Here I added 1 to it so that the numbers start from 1 instead of 0. ng-repeat documentation

Answer 2

Yes you can use {{$index}} to print index position for serial no inside ng-repeat.

Various other variables also available for calculation and check for first, middle, last, odd, even using $first, $middle, $last, $odd and $even respectively.

• $index: iterator offset of the repeated element (0..length-1)
• $first: true if the repeated element is first in the iterator.
• $middle: true if the repeated element is between the first and last in the iterator.
• $last: true if the repeated element is last in the iterator.
• $even: true if the iterator position $index is even (otherwise false).
• $odd: true if the iterator position $index is odd (otherwise false).
