ng-app Directive
The ng-app starts an AngularJS application. It defines the root element. It automatically initializes the application when the webpage containing AngularJS Application is loaded. It's also used for loading various AngularJS modules in AngularJS Application.
Example
In the following example below, we define a default AngularJS application using np-app attribute of a <div> element.
<div ng-app = ""> ... </div>
ng-init Directive
The ng-init directive initializes an AngularJS Application data. It is used to assign values to the variables.
Example
In following example below, we initialize an array of countries. We used JSON syntax to define the array of countries.
<div ng-app = "" ng-init = "countries = [{locale:'en-US',name:'United States'},
{locale:'en-GB',name:'United Kingdom'}, {locale:'en-FR',name:'France'}]">
...
</div>
ng-model Directive
The ng-model directive defines the variables to be used in AngularJS Application.
Example
In the following example, we define a model named name.
<div ng-app = ""> ... <p>Enter your Name: <input type = "text" ng-model = "name"></p> </div>
ng-repeat Directive
The ng-repeat repeats HTML elements for each item in a collection.
Example
In the following example below, we iterate over the array of countries.
<div ng-app = ""> ... <p>List of Countries with locale:</p> <ol> <li ng-repeat = "country in countries"> {{ 'Country: ' + country.name + ', Locale: ' + country.locale }} </li> </ol> </div>
Example
The following example illustrates the use of all the above mentioned directives.
