Changing value of a boolean using ng-click used inside a ng-repeat

I am displaying some data on my html page inside a div using ng-repeat. Inside the div I have a button in order to hide the content of each div seperately.Here is a simplified version of my html file.

<body ng-app="task" ng-controller="repeat">
    <div ng-repeat='x in array' ng-show="{{ x.show }}">
      <p>{{ x.text }}
      </p>
  <button ng-click="toggle()">Hide</button>
    </div>
</body>

the code in my .js file is as follows

var app = angular.module('task');
app.controller('repeat',function($scope){
    $scope.array = [{
        show: true,
        text:'Sample Text 1'},
      { 
        show: true,
        text:'Sample Text 2'},
      { 
        show: true,
        text:'Sample Text 3'}];

    $scope.toggle = function(){
       $scope.array.show = false ;
      };
})

Can anyone suggest me the required changes so that on clicking the button inside my div , that particular div gets hidden.

I think I am committing a mistake in referencing the particular element of the array while calling the function toggle() through ng-click

Put your element as an argument in toggle function.

<button ng-click="toggle(x)">Hide</button>

and change it in controller like this:

$scope.toggle = function(x){
    x.show = !x.show;
};
