AngularJS create dynamic template

I´m currently trying to create some kind of dynamic template, which fetches data and meta information from two separate services. The final result should be an table showing the data with the correct labels. My plan was to create HTML-templates with different basic designs like a table with 3,4 or 5 columns. Then a matching controller should fetch the meta data from a service which should return an array with the id of an attribute and its name which should be displayed in the table. So far so good but now comes the tricky part:
The second service fetches the matching data for the template and the id of the meta data and the id of the actual data matches, so that you can match them correctly.
Here is the Code on plunkr: Link
The Main problem is the following piece of code:
<tr ng-repeat="person in persons">
<td>{{person.name}}</td>
<td>{{person.age}}</td>
<td>{{person.postal}}</td>
</tr>
In between the <td>-tags the data doesn´t get fetched dynamic but static. I don´t want to explicitly say how my attributes are called but use the fetched data from the meta service to know how my attributes are called.
So in the end the template should get the names of the attributes as well as the matching data. Do you guys have any good idea for me how to solve this?
EDIT
To make things a little more clear:
At the moment the data between the <td> tags is fetched static because the term {{person.name}} stands there hard coded. Let´s assume that the structure of the data chenges and there will be a country-attribute instead of the postal one. The template which stays the same still tries to get data from person.postal and not from person.country. So undefined or even an error would be the consequence.
To prevent this the names of the attributes should get fetched from a meta service and build in the HTML page.
The workflow should look somehow like this:
fetch the metadata --> get the names of the attributes
Set the names of the attributes inside the 'HTML' to call the correct attribute
fetch the actual data with the attributes defined before
Create the table

http://jsfiddle.net/Lt024p9h/1/
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<table border="1">
<tr ng-repeat="person in persons">
<td ng-repeat="attr in query.attribs">
{{person[attr.id]}}
</td>
</tr>
</table>
</div>
Right so what is going on here?
So going by your fiddle, what we do if get the attributes you wish to display then using the object as an associative array.
This does require that the attr.id and the properties match up.

Nested ng-repeat with dynamic input

I am trying to display a JSON response in a table using ng-repeat. The problem is that not all objects recieved are the same. All of them have a date, short message and long message. There are also ones with an additional value list, differing in length. This list should be diplayed underneath the long message within its own table or list. I use the alert.slice().reverse() because I want the newest entries to be on top. The new objects are inserted using .push({values}).
<tbody class="AlTbody" ng-repeat="alerts in alerts.slice().reverse()" ng-class="className">
<tr class="Altr Aldate">
<td ng-show="{{alerts.Date}}"><b>{{alerts.Date}}:</b>
</td>
</tr>
<tr class="Altr Alshort " ng-click="toggleDetail($index)">
<td>{{alerts.S}}</td>
</tr>
<tr class="Altr " ng-show="activePosition == $index">
<td class="msgL">{{alerts.L}}
<!-- 1) <p ng-show="{{item.List}}"><br><ul><li>Previous values:</li> <li ng-repeat="vals in ValueList">{{vals.value}}</li></ul> </p>-->
<!-- 2) <p ng-show="{{List.txt}}"> <br><ul><li>Previous values:</li> <li ng-repeat="List in alerts.List">{{List.txt}}</li></ul> </p>-->
</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
I already tried two approaches as seen in the code. The first one displayed the list correct however it was displayed underneath every long message instead of only the one it belongs to. I used a new variable.
var l=valList.length;
scope.List=true;
while(l>-1){
scope.ValueList.push({value: valList[l]});
l--;
}
The second approach did not work at all because I could not find an index.
var l=valList.length;
var indexV= jQuery.inArray(currdate,scope.alerts.Date);
while(l>-1){
scope.alerts[indexV].List.push({txt: valList[l]});
l--;
}
edit:
This is the current output. There you can see two objects( date, short message and long message) and both of them have the previous values section. However only the upper object is supposed to diplay the list of previous values.

What you are trying to achieve is entirely possible, my advice is to start at a known point and work from there.
I have put together a jsfiddle to show you how nested ng-repeats will work. try and work from that point. As a side note it looks like your JSON structure is overly complex, if you can simplify that down I would.
https://jsfiddle.net/roscorcoran/wyu7tgxm/
<div ng-app="App" ng-controller="Ctrl1">
<div ng-repeat="alert in alerts">
<a ng-if="alert.Date">{{alert.Date}}</a>
<p ng-repeat="val in alert.L.vals">
<a ng-if="val && val.value">{{val.value}}</a>
</p>
<p ng-repeat="item in alert.List">
<a ng-if="item && item.txt">{{item.txt}}</a>
</p>
</div>
</div>

You can try to add a ng-if statement inside the ng-repeat loop:
<p ng-if="{{values.list}}"><br><ul><li>Previous values:</li> <li ng-repeat="vals in values.list">{{vals.value}}</li></ul> </p>-->

Okay so this works for me now. It still always displays "Previous Values:" but the values only display when they actually belong to the message.
<ul ng-if="alerts.List.vals"><li>Previous values:</li> <li ng-repeat="val in alerts.List.vals" >{{val.value}}</li></ul>
This might not be the best and most elegant solution but it works.
if(valList){
scope.alerts.push({Date:currdate,S:msgSn,L:msgLn, List:{ vals:[{value:valList[0]},{value:valList[2]},{value:valList[4]},{value:valList[6]}] } });
}else{
scope.alerts.push({Date:currdate,S:msgSn,L:msgLn });
}
I only display the even indexes of the value array because the list of values was a string which I split and every uneven entry is "):" which I don't need to display.

Knockout.js Tracking Selected Checkboxes

I have a html grid that returns a checkbox with each row. Currently I have these bound with knockout to my viewmodel. I've gotten far enough to capture the id of what is checked for a row but I'm not sure how to make Knockout give me a list of all rows checked and the content of every cell for the row.
Ultimately the intent is to let users select multiple rows from this table and then export that data. So I need a good way to gather the entire row up.
I've only been using Knockout for about a week so am I trying to get it to track something that perhaps I'd be better of just looping through the table with javascript?
<tbody data-bind="foreach: projectListing">
<tr data-bind="css: $data.rowclass">
<td><input type="checkbox" data-bind="value: $data.id, checked: $root.selectedRows, click: $root.toggleRowSelection"/></td>
<td data-bind="text: $data.SORT_ID"></td>
<td data-bind="text: $data.PROJ_ID"></td>
</tr>
</tbody>
*I know that code isn't enough to go on but I had to put something in here so I could list a link to jsFiddle.
I have a fiddle going that represents this to show code I have so far. What I'd like to do with this fiddle is each time I check the checkbox, the entire row content should show up. That would get me to the place I need to be in my real project.
Any ideas on how to go about this?
Here is what I have so far.
http://jsfiddle.net/robhortn/ad2Yu/4/

Instead of getting the id with the checked binding, you can create a selectedItems computed to get the selected items objects
self.selectedItems = ko.computed(function() {
return self.availableItems().filter(function(item) {
return item.Selected();
});
});
Html
Selected Books:
<div data-bind="foreach: $root.selectedItems">
<span data-bind="text: Name"></span>
<br/>
</div>

AngularJS - Directives with Angular UI Bootstrap

I'm using Angular UI - Bootstrap, specifically the Typeahead directive. http://angular-ui.github.io/bootstrap/#/typeahead
I'm attempting to use the 'typeahead-template-url' to create custom html templates for my suggestion boxes. After trying multiple techniques, unsuccessfully, I discovered that by purposely messing up my quotation marks 'solved' the display issues. I would love to understand why this is breaking and get it working properly.
For example: this works
<table class="> <!--see class quote error -->
<tr>
<td>
<div ng-mouseenter="selectActive($index)" ng-click="selectMatch($index)">
<a>ID{{ match.model.id }} - {{ match.model.text }}</a>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
This DOESN'T WORK
<table class="">
<tr>
<td>
<div ng-mouseenter="selectActive($index)" ng-click="selectMatch($index)">
<a>ID{{ match.model.id }} - {{ match.model.text }}</a>
</div>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
FIDDLE is here: http://jsfiddle.net/nicktest222/JXtaZ/24/
Additionally, when you select an item in the results list, it returns the entire object. How can I get it to return a specific property in the object?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

I think it is the way you add your template (columnTwo.html) in JSFiddle.
Look at my demo (which is based on yours): http://jsbin.com/aMOrOra/1/edit?html,js,output
As for the typeahead property:
<input type="text" ng-model="monkey" typeahead-template-url="columnTwo.html" typeahead="suggestion as suggestion.text for suggestion in sample_data | filter: $viewValue" />
Here it means that the suggestion object is used as the selected value, but I want to display only the suggestion.text property in the box. But monkey will still be set to the selected suggestion object.
Just so you know, your current filter will look for the query on every properties of the suggestion object, not only text.
EDIT: To filter only the text property, use the filter like this:
filter:{'text':$viewValue}

Angular JS. I am attempting to filter a simple list of results using check boxes

I am attempting to allow my users to filter my results array using check boxes.
I am just getting in to the Angular JS frame work and not quite sure how to approach my scenario.
I am trying to work out if what I am doing is possible in the way I am approaching it or do I simply need to write a custom filter function.
I have put together a simple jsfiddle to illustrate my issue.
http://jsfiddle.net/arkleyjoe/7jUp6/
Here is the mark up:
<div ng-app="">
<div ng-init="friends = [{name:'John', phone:'555-1276'},
{name:'Mary', phone:'800-BIG-MARY'},
{name:'Mike', phone:'555-4321'},
{name:'Adam', phone:'555-5678'},
{name:'Julie', phone:'555-8765'}]"></div>Exclude Johns
<input ng-model="search.name" name="name" type="checkbox"
ng-true-value="!John" ng-false-value="">
<br>Exclude Adams
<input ng-model="search.name" name="name" type="checkbox"
ng-true-value="!Adam" ng-false-value="">
<br>
<table id="searchObjResults">
<tr>
<th>Name</th>
<th>Phone</th>
<tr>
<tr ng-repeat="friend in friends | filter:search">
<td>{{friend.name}}</td>
<td>{{friend.phone}}</td>
<tr>
</table>
</div>
In this example I am using check boxes to filter certain names from my list. It works fine if I select one or the other but I want to select both. Angular JS is obviously doing something behind the scenes here because it actually prevents me having two boxes selected.

You are trying to bind a single property search.name for both the check boxes, so checking one of them would override the value set by the other one. If you want to filter on both check box values you need to assign the ng-model expression to different model properties.
You can create a method on the controller and pass it to the filter expression, this method would be called one time for each item in the list. If the function returns true the item is added to the end result. You can write your custom filter expression here. See filter documentation here
