Question

here is my code. ng-repeat has no effect inside script for some reason. console output just has three {{item}} strings. I expected the letters ‘a’, ‘b’, and ‘c’. why is that?

<div ng-app ng-controller="controller">
  <script type="text/javascript" ng-repeat="item in items">
    var v = '{{item}}';
    console.log(v);
  </script>
</div>

​

function controller($scope) {
    $scope.items = ['a', 'b', 'c'];
}​

By design, AngularJS does not template inside of <script> tags. This makes reasonable enough sense, since it is meant for generating HTML, not JavaScript.
