AngularJS - Change scope with one of the iterations of a ng-repeat - angularjs

Question

I have a project with Angular where I don't want to use a select element with ng-options, so I made up a list with different options in order to select one of them.
<div class="countrylist">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="c in shippingCountry"><p>{{c.name}}</p></li>
</ul>
</div>
So the option selected would modify another element where the chosen option would be displayed.
<div>
<ul>
<li>{{selectedCountry}}</li>
</ul>
</div>
In order to do that, I would need to pass the data from the chosen option of the first element into the 2nd one. I have tried doing something like this
<li ng-repeat="c in shippingCountry" ng-click="selectedCountry = {{c}}"><p>{{c.name}}</p></li>
with no success.

Answer 1

I suggest you to use a function over there like this in the DEMO
<li ng-repeat="c in shippingCountry" ng-click="Click(c)"><p>{{c.name}}</p></li>
Having this method in your controller
$scope.Click=function (c)
{
$scope.select=c;
}

Answer 2

It creates child scope for each iteration, so explicitly refer parent scope:
Change like this,
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="c in shippingCountry" ng-click="$parent.selectedCountry = c"><p>{{c.name}}</p></li>
</ul>

Answer 3

I've fixed your plunker here. It would be better to use methods in scope for this operations because they work in current scope, not in child
<li ng-repeat="c in shippingCountry" ng-click="selectCountry(c)">
<p>{{c.name}}</p>
</li>

Answer 4

// .html
<div>
<ul>
<li>{{selectedCountry.item}}</li>
</ul>
</div>
<div class="countrylist">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="c in shippingCountry" ng-click="selectedCountry.item = c"><p>{{c.name}}</p></li>
</ul>
</div>
// controller
$scope.selectedCountry = {
item: $scope.shippingCountry[0]
};
