I have an array in template node as below.

var myContacts = [  
{"rowid":1, "name": "Parvez Ansari", "email": "[ansariparvez@gmai.com](mailto:ansariparvez@gmai.com)", "mobile":"9998979695" },  
{"rowid":2, "name": "Tayyeb Shaikh", "email": "[tshaikh1981@gmai.com](mailto:tshaikh1981@gmai.com)", "mobile":"9091929394" },  
{"rowid":3, "name": "Ashfaque Shaikh", "email": "[ashly786@gmai.com](mailto:ashly786@gmai.com)", "mobile":"8081828384" }  
];

This need to be replaced using array in payload .

I have a function in template node which will be called in onload event.  
Can I iterate the payload and push it to the javascript array myContacts ?  
The field in the row is not fixed ,it is as per the DB outtput.  
Basically I need to copy everything in payload and create a javascript array .  
Can I use mustache?.Please help.

You mat need to use the $watch feature of Angular in your tempalte code, this is the part that will watch for new incoming data and let you process it.

I have a few examples on my blog at [https://it.knightnet.org.uk](https://it.knightnet.org.uk) but there are plenty of examples elsewhere too.
