Answer 1

If you won't to use a loop to read, then you can use Underscore.js.

By using Underscore.js you can do this as below. before that you need to check this link for how use underscore inside angular controllers.

var result = _.map([{ id: 1, name: "vinit"},{ id: 2, name: "jaimin"}], function (v) { return v.name; }); alert(JSON.stringify(result));

You can make a loop to read all data in array and push them to your new array:

$scope.formData = function() { $scope.products = []; var aa = $scope.tickets.length; angular.forEach($scope.tickets, function(value, key) { $scope.products.push(value.name); }); alert($scope.products); };
