What is the meaning of the singular/plural syntax in, say, ng-repeat="product in store.products"
?
Singular/plural is used just for common sense and code readability - it doesn't have to be singular/plural. You can do
ng-repeat="whatever in store.products"`
and then have the whatever
object available inside (like: <img ng-src="{{whatever.images[0]}}" />
).
In your case, store.products
can't be changed since it refers to an actual object, while product
is a completely custom name to be used in the repeat loop.
Fairly common in programming. Like the other answer said, it's similar to the for..in syntax.
This is essentially the same syntax as a Javascript for...in loop. It means for someTempVar in someArrayOrObject
.
The directive ng-repeat="product in products"
creates a new variable product
that you can reference inside your template. There is no singular/plural interpolation going on.
