The JSFiddle http://jsfiddle.net/vorburger/hyCTA/3/ illustrates a (working) "UI modeling" idea I had with AngularJS; note the form is not actually coded out in the HTML template, it's driven by uimodel JSON (which in turn describes how the datamodel is to be rendered/edited):
<div ng-repeat="auimodel in uimodel">
<label>{{$index + 1}}. {{auimodel.label}}</label>
<input ng-model="datamodel[auimodel.model]" type="{{auimodel.type}}" />
</div>
Trouble is, as soon as my 'model' isn't a simple property, but a 'path', then my square bracket dynamic keys 'trick' doesn't work anymore of course.. as illustrated by the (broken) http://jsfiddle.net/vorburger/8CxRC/1/ JSFiddle. Any suggestions how one could do this?
PS: Or would something like this necessarily need a complete custom directive rather sooner than later? I’d rather not have to do this, if that’s possible at all, in order to keep creation & maintenance of such UI model “meta templates” as simple as possible...
