AngularJS: How to set a variable inside of a template?

Question

How can I avoid having the {{f = ...}} statement in the third line print out the content of forecast[day.iso]?

I want to avoid using forecast[day.iso].temperature and so on for every iteration.

<div ng-repeat="day in forecast_days">
  {{$index}} - {{day.iso}} - {{day.name}}
  {{f = forecast[day.iso]}}
  Temperature: {{f.temperature}}<br>
  Humidity: {{f.humidity}}<br>
  ...
</div>

Answer 1

Use ngInit: https://docs.angularjs.org/api/ng/directive/ngInit

<div ng-repeat="day in forecast_days" ng-init="f = forecast[day.iso]">
  {{$index}} - {{day.iso}} - {{day.name}}
  Temperature: {{f.temperature}}<br>
  Humidity: {{f.humidity}}<br>
  ...
</div>

Answer 2

It's not the best answer, but its also an option: since you can concatenate multiple expressions, but just the last one is rendered, you can finish your expression with "" and your variable will be hidden.

So, you could define the variable with:

{{f = forecast[day.iso]; ""}}
