Simplest possible Angular code? (ng-switch)

[Lee Whitney]

To display an array of JSON objects, with varying types, do you think this is as simple as the code can be?

My regret is having to use a separate ng-switch directive for each type of object, which gets pretty verbose if you have lots of types.

I guess I could pre-process the JSON I get to make it more angular template friendly, but I'm not sure if adding another moving part in the code reduces overall complexity.

As you say you'd be better off refactoring the data for presentation but here is an interesting trick using a second ng-repeat directive.

Peter that's really slick, you're a stud :).

I'm experimenting with writing a Mongo style interactive query builder.  Basically parsing an expression tree with Angular templates so any simplicity is important.

Only thing a bit odd is the mismatched tags, but it's easily understandable.  And when code is easily understandable, less is always better.

Hi Lee,

Is there an reason you can't use an ng-include in your repeat? I would create a small template for each type off object and then do something like:

<div ng-include="{{verhicle.type}}.html"> 
This is out off my head, and completely untested, but worth I try in my book ;)
