your problem not angularjs problem, javascript issue: in javascript can access associative arrays in 2 ways: 1 dotted notation array.key , other bracket notation array[key]. if utilize dotted notation, javascript seek access property name key within associative array. in object, though, there isn't attribute name , obtain undefined. on contrary, bracket notation lets decide how access associative array (with constant or variable). recap: notation

array["key"]

produces same result

array.key

but if want flexible solution (using variable) must utilize bracket notation way

array[key]

where key is, clearly, variable.

difference between using bracket (`[]`) , dot (`.`) notation
