ng-repeat with ng-transclude inside a directive

Solved the problem myself:

I am able to do it in the compile step (jsfiddle) by adding the ng-repeat attribute when the template is compiled and feeding it the content of my attribute.

Html:

<div ng-app="myApp">
  <div ng-controller="ctrl">
    <mylist element="myItem in items">{{myItem}}</mylist>
  </div>
</div>

Javascript:

var myApp = angular.module('myApp', [])

.controller('ctrl', function ($scope) {
  $scope.items = ['one', 'two', 'three'];
})

.directive('mylist', function ($parse) {
  return {
    restrict:'E',
    transclude: 'element',
    replace: true,
    scope: true,
    template: [
      '<ul>',
      '<li ng-transclude></li>',
      '</ul>'
    ].join(''),
    compile: function (tElement, tAttrs, transclude) {
      var rpt = document.createAttribute('ng-repeat');
      rpt.nodeValue = tAttrs.element;
      tElement[0].children[0].attributes.setNamedItem(rpt);
      return function (scope, element, attr) {
        var rhs = attr.element.split(' in ')[1];
        scope.items = $parse(rhs)(scope);
        console.log(scope.items);
      }        
    }
  }
});

An alternative way to achieve this as follows.

Index.html:

<html ng-app='myApp'>

<head>
    <title>AngularJS Transclude within Repeat Within Directive</title>
    <script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.2.18/angular.min.js"></script>
    <script src='index.js'></script>
</head>

<body ng-controller='myController'>
    <people>Hello {{person.name}}</people>
    <button name="button" ng-click="changeRob()">Change Rob</button>
</body>
</html>

index.js:

var myApp = angular.module( 'myApp', [] );

myApp.controller( 'myController', function( $scope ) {
    $scope.people = [
        { name: 'Rob'  },
        { name: 'Alex' },
        { name: 'John' }
    ];

    $scope.changeRob = function() {
        $scope.people[0].name = 'Lowe';
    }
});

myApp.directive( 'people', function() {
    return {
        restrict: 'E',

        transclude: true,
        template: '<div ng-repeat="person in people" transcope></div>',
    }
});

myApp.directive( 'transcope', function() {
    return {
        link: function( $scope, $element, $attrs, controller, $transclude ) {
            if ( !$transclude ) {
                throw minErr( 'ngTransclude' )( 'orphan',
                    'Illegal use of ngTransclude directive in the template! ' +
                    'No parent directive that requires a transclusion found. ' +
                    'Element: {0}',
                    startingTag( $element ));
            }
            var innerScope = $scope.$new();

            $transclude( innerScope, function( clone ) {
                $element.empty();
                $element.append( clone );
                $element.on( '$destroy', function() {
                    innerScope.$destroy();
                });
            });
        }
    };
});

See it in action in this similar plunker. Based on this long Github issue discussion.

Other answers unfortunately does not work with newest version of angular(I checked 1.4) so I think there is a benefit to share this jsbin I found:

var app = angular.module('app', [])
  .controller('TestCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.myRecords = ['foo', 'bar', 'baz'];
  });

app.directive('myDirective', function($compile) {
  var template = '<div id="inner-transclude" ng-repeat="record in records"></div>';

  return {
    scope: {
      records: '='
    },
    restrict: 'A',
    compile: function(ele) {
      var transclude = ele.html();
      ele.html('');

      return function(scope, elem) {
        var tpl = angular.element(template);
        tpl.append(transclude);

        $compile(tpl)(scope);

        elem.append(tpl);
      };
    }
  };
});

<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/angularjs/1.4.0/angular.js"></script>


<div ng-app="app" ng-controller="TestCtrl">
  <div my-directive records="myRecords">
    ?: {{record}}
  </div>

</div>
