Setting dynamic scope variables in AngularJs – scope.

by

The solution I have found is to use $parse.

“Converts Angular expression into a function.”

If anyone has a better one please add a new answer to the question!

Here is the example:

var the_string = 'life.meaning';

// Get the model
var model = $parse(the_string);

// Assigns a value to it
model.assign($scope, 42);

// Apply it to the scope
// $scope.$apply(); <- According to comments, this is no longer needed

console.log($scope.life.meaning);  // logs 42
