How to iterate over the keys and values with ng-repeat in AngularJS ?

Last Updated : 05 Sep, 2022

The task is to iterate over a JS object (its keys and values) using the ng-repeat directive. This can be done using parenthesis in the ng-repeat directive to explicitly ask for a key-value pair parameter from angularJS. Here the variable key contains the key of the object and value contains the value of the object.

Syntax:

<element ng-repeat="(key, value) in JSObject">
     Contents... 
</element>

Example 1: In this example, we will simply display all the keys and values of a JS object using ng-repeat. In first iteration, key = name and value = “GeeksforGeeks”. In the 2nd iteration, key = location and value = “Noida India Sector 136″…This keeps on iterating until all the keys and their values are covered at least once similar to a for-each loop.

HTML

<!DOCTYPE html> 
<html ng-app="myApp"> 
  
<head> 
    <script src= 
"https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.7.8/angular.min.js"> 
    </script> 
</head> 
  
<body ng-controller="MyController"> 
    <center> 
        <h1 style="color: green;"> 
            GeeksforGeeks 
        </h1> 
        <h3> 
           Iterating the keys & values with ng-repeat in AngularJS  
        </h3> 
        <div ng-repeat="(key, value) in gfg">\ 
          
            <!-- First Iteration-->
            <p>{{key}} - {{value}}</p> 
        </div> 
    </center> 
    <script type="text/javascript"> 
        var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []); 
        myApp.controller('MyController', ['$scope', function($scope) { 
            $scope.gfg = { 
                Name: "GeeksforGeeks", 
                Location: "Noida India Sector 136", 
                Type: "Edu-Tech", 
            } 
        }]); 
    </script> 
</body> 
</html>

Output: On loading the page, we see that all the key-value pairs of the objects are already listed there. This is because the ng-repeat is called on load as the HTML gets loaded.

Example 2: In this example, we will loop over a nested object using the ng-repeat directive. In the first iteration, key = diamond and value = {hardness:”Ultra Hard”, goodFor:”Display, cutting”} in the next iteration key = gold and value is its respective object. This keeps on iterating like a for-each loop over the key-value pairs of the object materials.
