I have a following collection of fields.

$scope.fields = ['name','postcode','phone'];

I need to have input controls dynamically generated as many as the fields above. So a fixed version of below

<div class="col-sm-3" ng-repeat="user in users">
    <div ng-repeat="field in fields">
        <input class="form-control" ng-model="user.field" /> <!-- .field isn't resolving -->
    </div>
</div>

would hopefully generate something like below...

<div class="col-sm-3" ng-repeat="user in users">
    <div><input class="form-control" ng-model="user.name" /></div>
    <div><input class="form-control" ng-model="user.postcode" /></div>
    <div><input class="form-control" ng-model="user.phone" /></div>
</div>

Any ideas? Thanks!

You need to use bracket notation to access variable object property:

<div class="col-sm-3" ng-repeat="user in users">
    <div ng-repeat="field in fields">
        <input class="form-control" ng-model="user[field]" />
    </div>
</div>
