Truely empty objects in ngRepeat

[spacenick]

Let's say I have a pseudo-hashmap built using Object.create(null) and I want to ng-repeat over it.
This is breaking :

<div ng-repeat="(key,value) in myHashmap"></div>

Because obviously my hashMap doesn't inherit the Object prototype and thus doesn't have the hasOwnProperty method.

Can be quickly fixed by changing the size function

if (!ownPropsOnly || Object.hasOwnProperty.call(obj,key))

and the ngRepeatDirective

if (Object.hasOwnProperty.call(collection,key) && key.charAt(0) != '$') {

However I'd love to have some feedbacks from the team if this is actually on purpose. Thanks!

Huh, I wasn't aware of Object.create(null) until now!

But your proposed change seems like a good idea to me in general, as it also shields AngularJS against objects that define hasOwnProperty.

Awesome @mernen
