What to do in ngRepeat?
What does equals mean in ng-repeat attribute value?
<li ng-repeat="person in people = (people | orderBy: firstname)"> instead of doing:
<li ng-repeat="person in people | orderBy: firstname"> I see no examples explaining its use in the documentation for ngRepeat.
It is useful to calculate how many objects have been filtered, for example.
function People($scope) { $scope.people = [{ firstname: 'a' }, { firstname: 'c' }, { firstname: 'b' }, { firstname: 'c' }] } <script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.23/angular.min.js"></script> <div ng-app ng-controller="People"> <ul> <li ng-repeat="person in filteredPeople = (people | filter: 'c')">{{person.firstname}}</li> </ul> Total filtered: {{ filteredPeople.length }} </div> @Krzysztof. There is no need to use the "=" operator to display the number of filtered objects. This can be done without it. So you are completely wrong.
