Call a function in ng-repeat [duplicate]

Question

I have a array with some names of buttons and names of a function that is to be called when the button is clicked.

If I ng-repeat through the buttons everything works fine, except the function is not being executed. I'm not sure what else i can try, or even if it's possible.

Here is some data

$scope.something = [{
    name: 'Cool Button',
    func: 'test'
}, {
    name: 'Another button',
    func: 'something'
}]

and I'm using ng-repeat like so.

<button ng-click="some.func" ng-repeat="some in something">{{some.name}}</button>

Here are the things I have tried to get the function working.

some.func // Nothing happens
some.func() // Throws a error
{{ some.func }}() // Nothing Happens

here is one of the functions that's to be called

$scope.test = function() {
    alert('clicked');
};

Is this possible?

A Quick Fiddle I made.

Pass an actual function instead of a string... then just call some.func . Also, define the function you're calling above the handler. — Benjamin Gruenbaum

ng-click="this[some.func]()"

or reference the function directly:

$scope.something = [{
    name: 'Cool Button',
    func: $scope.test
}, {
    name: 'Another button',
    func: $scope.anotherFunc
}]

ng-click="some.func()"

Definitely doesn't work since you have a recursive reference to $scope.something
