I\'m using ng-repeat on a table row with data from a JSON array retrieved from a server. My goal is to have the list update automatically whenever an item is added, removed
I belive this article will explain how ngRepeat works

So if you are keeping objects in collection - then yes ( i e $hashKey persist )
Otherwise - no
