Looks like Angular 1.3 fixed this (https://stackoverflow.com/a/32907176/3854385)
This is now possible with Angular 1.3+:
<form name="vm.myForm" novalidate>
<div ng-repeat="p in vm.persons">
<input type="text" name="person_{{$index}}" ng-model="p" required>
<span ng-show="vm.myForm['person_' + $index].$invalid">Enter a name</span>
</div>
</form>
In some cases an inner form is a good solution if you can just pass the information: (https://stackoverflow.com/posts/12044600/)
To solve the ‘dynamic name’ problem you need to create an inner form (see ng-form):
<div ng-repeat="social in formData.socials">
<ng-form name="urlForm">
<input type="url" name="socialUrl" ng-model="social.url">
<span class="alert error" ng-show="urlForm.socialUrl.$error.url">URL error</span>
<button ng-click="doSomething(urlForm.socialUrl.$valid)">Test</button>
</ng-form>
</div>
The other alternative would be to write a custom directive for this.
Here is the jsFiddle showing the usage of the ngForm: http://jsfiddle.net/pkozlowski_opensource/XK2ZT/2/
