What are the differences between ng-repeat and ng-options and why do they not behave the same way?

Question

How do ng-options and ng-repeat differ?

In the following code, I have an ng-repeat that iterates through a list of people:

Answer 1

ng-repeat give problem while send information back to controller because in general we show name to the user but use ID/Index of the option for backend operations.

Simple words- with ng-options you may use complete JavaScript object.

{{selectedName}}

{{selectedName.age}}

but with ng-repeat you have to deals with string.

{{x.name}}


{{selectedName}}

{{selectedName.age}}




This example shows how to fill a dropdown list using the ng-repeat    directive.
