How can I check if value is object in Angular template?

Question

I have this template where I am displaying data in tables:

<tr ng-repeat="obj in tsc.tabEntries" ng-class-odd="'odd'" ng-class-even="'even'">
  <td ng-repeat="field in tsc.entryFields">{{ obj[field]}}</td>
</tr>

I want to check that obj[field] is an object. If it is, I want to display the name property of that object, otherwise the value of obj[field].

How can I do that in template?

You can try ng-show for this type of logic in template

  <tr ng-repeat="obj in tsc.tabEntries" ng-class-odd="'odd'" ng-class-even="'even'">
    <span ng-show="obj.field.name">{{obj.field.name}}</span>
    <td ng-repeat="field in tsc.entryFields">{{ obj[field]}}</td>
</tr>
