@ngdoc error
@name ngRepeat:badident
@fullName Invalid identifier expression
@description
Occurs when an invalid identifier is specified in an {@link ng.directive:ngRepeat ngRepeat} expression.
The {@link ng.directive:ngRepeat ngRepeat} directive's `alias as` syntax is used to assign an alias for the processed collection in scope.
If the expression is not a simple identifier (such that you could declare it with `var {name}`, or if the expression is a reserved name,
this error is thrown.
Reserved names include:
- `null`
- `this`
- `undefined`
- `$parent`
- `$id`
- `$root`
- `$even`
- `$odd`
- `$first`
- `$last`
- `$middle`
Invalid expressions might look like this:
```html
<li ng-repeat="item in items | filter:searchString as this">{{item}}</li>
<li ng-repeat="item in items | filter:searchString as some.objects["property"]">{{item}}</li>
<li ng-repeat="item in items | filter:searchString as resultOfSomeMethod()">{{item}}</li>
<li ng-repeat="item in items | filter:searchString as foo=6">{{item}}</li>
```
Valid expressions might look like this:
```html
<li ng-repeat="item in items | filter:searchString as collections">{{item}}</li>
<li ng-repeat="item in items | filter:searchString as filteredCollection">{{item}}</li>
```
