A json object has a key lastLogin. Value of it is a string.
I am trying to print firstName John and Blake
$scope._u
To parse "lastlogin": "{\"employees\":[{\"firstName\":\"John\"}, {\"firstName\":\"Blake\"}]}"
data correctly you can use
angular.fromJson(User.lastLogin);
Just make sure that you are giving inner object i.e. lastlogin to the method and it will remove all invalid characters such as \ and " from the json data.
Try like this
View
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<div ng-repeat="user in _users" ng-init="myInfo=parJson(user.User.lastlogin)">
<div ng-repeat="emp in myInfo.employees">{{emp.firstName}}</div>
</div>
</div>
Controller
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
function MyCtrl($scope) {
$scope.getName = function (user) {
return "Names";
};
$scope._users = [{
"User": {
"userid": "dummy",
"lastlogin": "{\"employees\":[{\"firstName\":\"John\"}, {\"firstName\":\"Blake\"}]}",
}
}];
$scope.parJson = function (json) {
return JSON.parse(json);
}
//console.log(JSON.parse($scope._users[0].User.lastlogin));
}
DEMO
you can also use angular.fromJson.
Like this
$scope.parJson = function (json) {
return angular.fromJson(json);
}
