I am using the angular ng-repeat function, in my controller i am trying to create an array however i keep getting an error message in my inspector.

Uncaught SyntaxError: Unexpected token [

var app = angular.module("homeApp", []);
 app.controller("entriesView", function ($scope){
$scope.itemEntry = {[
    {

    image: "https://cms.myspacecdn.com/cms/x/13/47/112013-priscilla-600.jpg"
    },
    image1: "https://cms.myspacecdn.com/cms/x/13/47/112013-priscilla-600.jpg"


];
  }

});

can someone let me know where i am going wrong, thanks

Recreate itemEntry like:

$scope.itemEntry = [            
    {image: "https://cms.myspacecdn.com/cms/x/13/47/112013-priscilla-600.jpg"},
    {image1: "https://cms.myspacecdn.com/cms/x/13/47/112013-priscilla-600.jpg"}    
];

The itemEntry represents list of objects but not Object of list

Array uses [] braces. You wrapped your array in {} which is for objects. Objects need key/value pairs, so since your object only contains the array is throwing a syntax error

Remove outer {}

yeah, you are right. deleted my answer. I did not want to be rude or anything, just think that you really need have some solid foundations in JS before learning AngularJS.

@arturgrzesiak agree that more than basic knowledge of objects/arrays is needed...especially to understand scope...just better to be diplomatic. No need to delete answer
