Angular expression to check if model is array or object

Question

How can I check if an angular model is an array or an object? Is there a built in or do I have to write a filter isArray with Array.isArray()

{{[] | isA

You can use the angular.isArray function. It's built-in inside Angularjs.

If you want to use this function inside your template, you have to create a custom filter: http://docs.angularjs.org/tutorial/step_09

Example of what you want:

angular.module('...', []).filter('isArray', function() {
  return function (input) {
    return angular.isArray(input);
  };
});

Then you can use the filter inside your template:

{{ myVar | isArray }}
