THe idea is to use the Repeater and a Array of typed objects, then
there is no need to worry about if this input is name_1 or name_22.
Repeater id="rpt" dataProvider="{ myData }"...
<MyCustomForm dataObject="{ rpt.currentItem as DataObject }"....
MyCustomForm would be a custom component exposing a public property
dataObject that is a instance of DataObject, your custom typed object.
Then to collect data for the server, you just collect a array of
DataObjects grabbing the individual dataObjects in each form
component.
