To answer your question, try this:

<div id="{{$index}}" ...>

While the above should work, this might be not what you want really (!). Please note that this is rather rare with AngularJS to manipulate elements by referring those by id.

You should focus on your model, declarative describe UI and let AngularJS do the rest without doing low-level DOM manipulations "by hand".


A use case I can think of is associating <label> elements with their respective <input> elements, as seen in http://jsfiddle.net/YqUAp/

Applied there is a pkozlowski.opensource's method

<label for="{{ 'textField-' + $index }}">Option {{ $index }}</label>
<input type="text" id="{{ 'textField-' + $index }}" ng-model="field"/>

Though I'm unsure if this is the most effective method. (Even if only for readability)


<div id="{{$index}}" ...>

Works well, but you can also put a dynamic id with the field repeated if - for instance - subRepeat would have an id field. That would be:

<div id="subRepeat{{subRepeat.id}}" ...>

That will put ids like subRepeat1, subRepeat2, ... on your repeated div


you need to hold the index in your objects

results = { myJsonResults : [ 
    { name: "abc", id: 1, subResults: [
                               { subName: "123", id: 1 },
                               { subName: "456", id: 2 }] }
    { name: "xyz", id: 2, subResults: [
                               { subName: "789", id: 1 },
                               { subName: "098", id: 2 }] }
                            ] };

Also your repeat refers to results, which disconnects them, instead use thisResult:

<div id="thisResult.id" ng-repeat="thisResult in results.myJsonResults">
    {{ thisResult.name }}
    <div id="subResult.id" ng-click="saveID(subResult.id)" ng-repeat="subResult in thisResult.subResults"> {{ subResult.subName }} </div>
</div>
