I have a controller that returns an array, I'm trying to display every element of that array as a list.

What I am attempting to do, which is not working:

<li ng-repeat=Name in names>

    <a ng-controller=PostsCtrl href=#>{{response.text}}</a>

</li>

response.text returns an array from the controller.

I am also wondering, what is the value of the ng-repeat attribute supposed to be, any unique string?

Thank you!

Define the array in your controller with the $scope variable:

app.controller('PostsCtrl', function($scope) {

    $scope.response = { text: ['hello', 'world'] };

}

Then use ng-repeat on the VARIABLE, not the controller.

<div ng-controller=PostsCtrl>

    <ul>

        <li ng-repeat=name in response.text><a href=#>{{name}}</a></li>

    </ul>

</div>

The controller is only used to define what $scope variables you can use in that section, and is not used as a variable itself.
