Dynamically assign ng-model

Question

I'm trying to generate a set of check-boxes from an object array. I'm aiming to have the check-boxes dynamically map their ng-model to a property of the new object that will be submitted into the array.

What I had in mind is something like

<li ng-repeat="item in items">     <label>{{item.name}}</label>     <input type="checkbox" ng-model="newObject.{{item.name}}"> </li> 

This doesn't work as can be seen on this JSFiddle:

Can anybody help?

Answer 1

This should give you desired results:

<input type="checkbox" ng-model="newObject[item.name]">
