AngularJS: Can I use a filter to chunk an array in ng-repeat?

Question

Edit to add a clear question: I have a flat array of some length and I want to put it into a tr/td type view? This might also be in a bootstrap grid or somethin

maybe this could work to someone, you never know

the following code will assign an extra value (store_chunk) to an array of stores. so I can use with ng-repeat to show 3 different columns in my HTML

        var x               = 0;
        var y               = 1;
        var how_many_chunks = 3;
        var limit = $scope.main.stores.length / how_many_chunks ;
        angular.forEach($scope.main.stores, function(e, key) {
            if (x <= limit) {
                $scope.main.stores[key].store_chunk = y;
            }
            else{
                y    += 1;
                limit = y * limit;
                $scope.main.stores[key].store_chunk = y;
            }
            x += 1;
        });

here the HTML

    

        

            
{{store.store_name}}
        
    
    

        

            
{{store.store_name}}
        
    
    

        

            
{{store.store_name}}
        
    

this works like a charm! and don't vote down just because you didn't like it!.. thumbs up instead!
