Dynamically assign ng-model

I'm trying to generate a set of check-boxes from an object array. I'm aiming to have the check-boxes dynamically map their ng-model to a property of the new object that will be submitted into the array.

What I had in mind is something like

<li ng-repeat="item in items">
<label>{{item.name}}</label>
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="newObject.{{item.name}}">
</li>

This doesn't work as can be seen on this JSFiddle:

Can anybody help?

This should give you desired results:

<input type="checkbox" ng-model="newObject[item.name]">

Here is a working plunk: http://plnkr.co/edit/ALHQtkjiUDzZVtTfLIOR?p=preview

EDIT As correctly noted in the comments using this with ng-change requires a "dummy" ng-model to be present beforehand. It should however be noted that apparently with 1.3 the required options have been provided by the framework. Please check out https://stackoverflow.com/a/28365515/3497830 below! /EDIT

Just in case you are like me stumbling over a simple case while having a more complex task, this is the solution I came up with for dynamically binding arbitrary expressions to ng-model: http://plnkr.co/edit/ccdJTm0zBnqjntEQfAfx?p=preview

Method: I created a directive dynamicModel that takes a standard angular expression, evaluates it and links the result to the scope via ng-model and $compile.

var app = angular.module('plunker', []);


app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.data = {};
$scope.testvalue = 'data.foo';
$scope.eval = $scope.$eval;
});


var app = angular.module('plunker', []);


app.controller('MainCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.data = {};
$scope.testvalue = 'data.foo';
$scope.eval = $scope.$eval;
});


app.directive('dynamicModel', ['$compile', function ($compile) {
return {
'link': function(scope, element, attrs) {
scope.$watch(attrs.dynamicModel, function(dynamicModel) {
if (attrs.ngModel == dynamicModel || !dynamicModel) return;


element.attr('ng-model', dynamicModel);
if (dynamicModel == '') {
element.removeAttr('ng-model');
}


// Unbind all previous event handlers, this is
// necessary to remove previously linked models.
element.unbind();
$compile(element)(scope);
});
}
};
}]);

Usage is simply dynamic-model="angularExpression" where angularExpression results in a string that is used as the expression for ng-model.

I hope this saves someone the headache of having to come up with this solution.

With Angular 1.3, you can use ng-model-options directive to dynamically assign the model, or bind to an expression.

Here is a plunkr: http://plnkr.co/edit/65EBiySUc1iWCWG6Ov98?p=preview

<input type="text" ng-model="name"><br>
<input type="text" ng-model="user.name"
ng-model-options="{ getterSetter: true }">

More info on ngModelOptions here: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngModelOptions

This is my approach to support deeper expression, e.g. 'model.level1.level2.value'

<input class="form-control" ng-model="Utility.safePath(model, item.modelPath).value">

where item.modelPath = 'level1.level2' and Utility(model, 'level1.level2') is the utility function that returns model.level1.level2
