How can I have an attribute with it's data being an object? I want to set the data to two indices: 

<div ng-repeat="shift in schedule.shifts">
    <div ng-repeat="tasks in shift" data-drag="{'taskIndex' : $index, 'shiftIndex' : $parent.$index}"></div>
</div>

I basically want to set data-drag to contain both the $index and $parent.$index. The code above doesn't work!

Thanks

EDIT

So the problem is not the syntax above. It comes from this other line that I have:

 // Grab the object data
 var dragData = "";
 scope.$watch(attrs.drag, function (newValue) {
      dragData = newValue;
 });

The $watch returns this error:

Error: [$rootScope:infdig] 10 $digest() iterations reached. Aborting!

If I simply assign data-drag="$index" then, it is all fine. Why is it that I cannot pass an object?

Why?

How doesn't the code work? What are you trying to do with the indexes in data-drag? –  marck 23 hours ago
    
Can you post a plunker and indicate which part of your code doesn't work. –  ryeballar 21 hours ago
    
Using data-drag="{'taskIndex' : $index, 'shiftIndex' : $parent.$index}" returns an error! The syntax is wrong ... It says $digest() aborted after trying for 10 times. –  Kousha 1 hour ago

Not sure what data-drag is but you can use ng-init to create an object with the inner and outer index in it.

<div ng-repeat="shift in schedule.shifts" ng-init="shiftIndex = $index">
    <div ng-repeat="tasks in shift" 
        ng-init="myVar = {taskIndex: $index, shiftIndex: shiftIndex}" 
        data-drag="myVar">
    </div>
</div>

Problem is that schedule.shifts and shifts.tasks dynamically change and therefore $index and $parent.$index change as well. If I use ng-init I then need to reassign myVar everytime the arrays change. I would rather if I could pass the indices directly to data-drag –  Kousha 23 hours ago
