This short video tutorial looks at the ng-repeat-start
and ng-repeat-end
elements added in AngularJS 1.2
John Lindquist: In Angular 1.2 ng repeat now supports multiple elements. So if you put "ngrepeat-start" and then you loop through some things, I just have "app.things" set to "123." I can bind "things" here and then I have to close the ng repeat with a "-end." Once that's done, I can refresh and you can see "123."
Now I can add anything in here and then also in here with binding or whatever. And you can see it's repeating in all of those elements, anything inside of here, and anything inside of here. As long as these elements are sibling elements, it can find it, don't expect to be able to wrap this in another element, because if you try and do that, it will break down and throw an error of "no ng repeat found" or "no ng repeat end found."
Just make sure they are sibling elements and you should be good to go as far as repeating multiple elements.
what is a use case for ng-repeat-start and ng-repeat-end in production? I don't see the need as we can just ng-repeat and put anything we want repeated in the tags
