Using ng-if as a switch inside ng-repeat?

Question

I am working on Angular app. I tried to use ng-if and switch inside ng-repeat but didn't succeed. I have data like:

   **[{"_id":"52fb84fac6b93c152d8b4569",
       "post_id":"52fb84fac6b93c152d8b4567",
       "user_id":"52df9ab5c6b93c8e2a8b4567",
       "type":"hoot",},  
      {"_id":"52fb798cc6b93c74298b4568",
       "post_id":"52fb798cc6b93c74298b4567",
       "user_id":"52df9ab5c6b93c8e2a8b4567",
       "type":"story",},        
      {"_id":"52fb7977c6b93c5c2c8b456b",
       "post_id":"52fb7977c6b93c5c2c8b456a",
       "user_id":"52df9ab5c6b93c8e2a8b4567",
       "type":"article",},**

$scope.comments = data mentioned above
and my Html like :

   <div ng-repeat = "data in comments">
      <div ng-if="hoot == data.type">
          //differnt template with hoot data
       </div>
      <div ng-if="story == data.type">
          //differnt template with story data
       </div>
       <div ng-if="article == data.type">
          //differnt template with article data
       </div> 
   </div>

How can I achieve this thing in Angular?

Try to surround strings (hoot, story, article) with quotes ':

<div ng-repeat = "data in comments">
    <div ng-if="data.type == 'hoot' ">
        //different template with hoot data
    </div>
    <div ng-if="data.type == 'story' ">
        //different template with story data
    </div>
    <div ng-if="data.type == 'article' ">
        //different template with article data
    </div> 
</div>
