Using expressions in ngModel

[Slava Fomin]

Hello there!

I'm trying to use non-trivial expressions inside of ngModel directive in order to generate form elements dynamically (using ngRepeat loop).

However, it's not working as expected.

I've created a minimal Plunk to demonstrate the idea.

Here's the code inside of my controller:

$scope.entity = {
  firstName: 'Jack',
  lastName: 'Bauer',
  location: {
    city: 'New York'
  }
};
$scope.path = 'location.city';

I've managed to display input field correctly with proper value this way:

<input type="text" ng-model="$eval('entity.' + path)">

However, I can't change the value. It's not editable. I'm getting the following error:

Error: ngModelSet is not a function

What could be the reason for this? Is there a way to solve my problem? I need to access property of the object using property path, e.g.: user.location.city.

I will gladly accept any suggestions, thank you!
