Error Message

AUR0776: Invalid [repeat] usage, found extraneous target "<target>"

Where <target> is the property name that the repeat attribute was incorrectly bound to (e.g., repeat.items, repeat.foo).

Description

This error occurs when you try to bind the repeat attribute to a target property other than for. The correct syntax is always repeat.for.

Cause

The repeat template controller is designed to work specifically with the for property to receive the iteration expression (e.g., item of items, i of count). Binding repeat to any other property name (like repeat.items, repeat.data, etc.) is syntactically incorrect because the controller doesn't expect or handle targets other than for. The Repeat controller's constructor validates this during initialization.

Solution

Ensure your repeat attribute binding uses the correct target property for.

Change any incorrect bindings like repeat.items="..." or repeat.whatever="..." to repeat.for="...".

Example

<!-- Incorrect: Binding repeat to 'items' instead of 'for' -->
<div repeat.items="item of userList">${item.name}</div>

<!-- Incorrect: Binding repeat to 'list' instead of 'for' -->
<div repeat.list="product of products">${product.id}</div>

<!-- Correct: Using repeat.for -->
<div repeat.for="item of userList">${item.name}</div>

<!-- Correct: Using repeat.for -->
<div repeat.for="product of products">${product.id}</div>

Debugging Tips

• Carefully examine the repeat attribute binding in your HTML template.

• Make sure it explicitly says repeat.for, not repeat.<anything_else>.

• Correct the target property name to for.
