Angular using foreach loop to push objects into an array

Question

I have a complex array which has objects inside of parent objects. I've already extracted the objects I want to work with through ng-repeat and am returning them. I'd like to be able to put all of these objects into an array using an angular forEach. I'm not quite sure how to go about doing it.

Here are the objects I'm returning:

{"day":"21","title":"ok","summary":"ok","description":"ok","_id":"53ee9f0fc6aed109c6d33cfd"}
{"day":"2","title":"ok","summary":"ok","description":"ok","_id":"53ee9f038782309c6d892"}
{"day":"27","title":"ok","summary":"ok","description":"ok","_id":"533240fc6ae32433chd"}

Here is my view: The objects above are represented by 'items' in the ng-repeat.

    <div class="calDynamic" data-ng-repeat="n in [] | range:100">
<div ng-repeat="cal in calendar[n].year | filterKey:month">
  <div ng-if="cal != '' ">
    <div class="calendar">

    <p>{{cal}}</p>
<div ng-repeat="items in cal ">

        <a href="/events/{{items.day}}">
          <article class="eventslist">
           <div class="numberedDate">
               <h3>{{items.day}}</h3>
            </div>
            <div class="calInfo">
            <h5>{{items.title}}</h5>
               <p>{{items.summary}}&nbsp;<a>more</a></p>
            </div>
           </article>


      </div><!-- ng-repeat val,key -->
</div><!-- calendar -->
</div><!-- ng-if cal -->
</div><!-- ng-repeat cal -->
</div><!-- calDynamic -->

How would I go about using a foreach loop like the one below to store those returned objects into an array so that I could use the filter method on it?

var arr = [];
angular.forEach(items, function (item) {
    arr.push(item);
});

If you have the list already available in the controller you can just do a deep copy.

    var arr = [];
    angular.copy(items,arr);

If you do not use angular.copy() and just try to use arr = items; angular will just create a pointer, which you do not want in this case
