Current plan is to support

person.first group by person.last for person in people

Would that be sufficient?

[unirgy]

Yes, and how person.id will be incorporated for binding?

[unirgy]

ng:options="person.id as person.first group by person.last for person in people" ?

[mhevery]

yes, that will work

[unirgy]

Just a personal note, i think that's way too cumbersome.. Is there a reason to introduce a special rigid syntax?

Compare with:

ng:options="{from:people, id:'id', label:'first', group:'last'}"

This allows for further expansion and providing callbacks in addition to static values for dynamic functionality.

[mhevery]

we are talking about same thing, and I think _ as _ group by _ for _ in _ is easier to read. We can always say _ for _ in _ or any combination there of and you can extend it in the future. We already support functions so you can say

person as nameOf(person) groupBy friendGroup(person) for person in getPeople()

Already implemented.
