[javascript] How to filter by object property in angularJS

I am trying to create a custom filter in AngularJS that will filter a list of objects by the values of a specific property. In this case, I want to filter by the "polarity" property(possible values of "Positive", "Neutral", "Negative").

Here is my working code without the filter:

HTML:

<div class="total">
    <h2 id="totalTitle"></h2>
    <div>{{tweets.length}}</div>
    <div id="totalPos">{{tweets.length|posFilter}}</div>
    <div id="totalNeut">{{tweets.length|neutFilter}}</div>
    <div id="totalNeg">{{tweets.length|negFilter}}</div>
</div>

Here is the "$scope.tweets" array in JSON format:

{{created_at: "Date", text: "tweet text", user:{name: "user name", screen_name: "user       screen name", profile_image_url: "profile pic"}, retweet_count: "retweet count", polarity: "Positive"},
 {created_at: "Date", text: "tweet text", user:{name: "user name", screen_name: "user screen name", profile_image_url: "profile pic"}, retweet_count: "retweet count", polarity: "Positive"},
 {created_at: "Date", text: "tweet text", user:{name: "user name", screen_name: "user screen name", profile_image_url: "profile pic"}, retweet_count: "retweet count", polarity: "Positive"}}

The best filter I could come up with as follows:

myAppModule.filter('posFilter', function(){
return function(tweets){
    var polarity;
    var posFilterArray = [];
    angular.forEach(tweets, function(tweet){
        polarity = tweet.polarity;
        console.log(polarity);
        if(polarity==='Positive'){
              posFilterArray.push(tweet);
        }
        //console.log(polarity);
    });
    return posFilterArray;
};
});

This method returns an empty array. And nothing is printed from the "console.log(polarity)" statement. It seems like I am not inserting the correct parameters to access the object property of "polarity."

Any ideas? Your response is greatly appreciated.

This question is related to javascript angularjs

The answer is


You could also do this to make it more dynamic.

<input name="filterByPolarity" data-ng-model="text.polarity"/>

Then you ng-repeat will look like this

<div class="tweet" data-ng-repeat="tweet in tweets | filter:text"></div>

This filter will of course only be used to filter by polarity


The documentation has the complete answer. Anyway this is how it is done:

<input type="text" ng-model="filterValue">
<li ng-repeat="i in data | filter:{age:filterValue}:true"> {{i | json }}</li>

will filter only age in data array and true is for exact match.

For deep filtering,

<li ng-repeat="i in data | filter:{$:filterValue}:true"> {{i}}</li>

The $ is a special property for deep filter and the true is for exact match like above.


You can try this. its working for me 'name' is a property in arr.

repeat="item in (tagWordOptions | filter:{ name: $select.search } ) track by $index

We have Collection as below:


enter image description here

Syntax:

{{(Collection/array/list | filter:{Value : (object value)})[0].KeyName}}

Example:

{{(Collectionstatus | filter:{Value:dt.Status})[0].KeyName}}

-OR-

Syntax:

ng-bind="(input | filter)"

Example:

ng-bind="(Collectionstatus | filter:{Value:dt.Status})[0].KeyName"
