How to filter multiple values OR operation in angularJS

Question

I want to use the filter in angular and want to filter for multiple values  if it has either one of the values then it should be displayed   I have  for example this structure    An object movie which has the property genres and I want to filter for Action and Comedy   I know I can do filter   genres   Action       genres   Comedy     but what to do if I want to filter it dynamically  E g  filter  variableX  How do I set variableX in the  scope  when I have an array of the genres I have to filter   I could construct it as a string and then do an eval   but I don t want to use eval

Lets assume you have two array  one for movie and one for genre  Just use the filter as  filter  genres  genres type    Here genres being the array and type has value for genre

You can use a controller function to filter   function MoviesCtrl  scope          scope movies     name  Shrek   genre  Comedy                          name  Die Hard   genre  Action                          name  The Godfather   genre  Drama           scope selectedGenres     Action   Drama          scope filterByGenres   function movie            return   scope selectedGenres indexOf movie genre      -1               HTML    lt div ng-controller  MoviesCtrl  gt       lt ul gt           lt li ng-repeat  movie in movies   filter filterByGenres  gt                 movie name       movie genre             lt  li gt       lt  ul gt   lt  div gt

Here is the implementation of custom filter  which will filter the data using array of values It will support multiple key object  with both array and single value of keys  As mentioned inangularJS API AngularJS filter Doc supports multiple key filter with single value  but below custom filter will support same feature as angularJS and also supports array of values and combination of both array and single value of keys Please find the code snippet below   myApp filter  filterMultiple     filter  function   filter    return function  items  keyObj        var filterObj             data items          filteredData             applyFilter   function obj key               var fData                   if  this filteredData length    0                  this filteredData   this data              if  obj                   var fObj                       if   angular isArray obj                        fObj key    obj                      fData   fData concat  filter  filter   this filteredData fObj                      else if  angular isArray obj                        if  obj length  gt  0                           for  var i 0 i lt obj length i                                 if  angular isDefined obj i                                     fObj key    obj i                                   fData   fData concat  filter  filter   this filteredData fObj                                                                                                                         if  fData length  gt  0                       this filteredData   fData                                                       if  keyObj           angular forEach keyObj function obj key               filterObj applyFilter obj key                         return filterObj filteredData           Usage   arrayOfObjectswithKeys   filterMultiple  key1   value1   value2   value3     etc  key2  value4  key3  value5 value6    etc     Here is a fiddle example with implementation of above  filterMutiple  custom filter     Fiddle Example

I would just create a custom filter   They are not that hard   angular module  myFilters          filter  bygenre   function         return function movies genres          var out                Filter logic here  adding matches to the out var        return out                template    lt h1 gt Movies lt  h1 gt    lt div ng-init  movies                title  Man on the Moon   genre  action               title  Meet the Robinsons   genre  family               title  Sphere   genre  action                gt   lt input type  checkbox  ng-model  genrefilters action    gt Action  lt br   gt   lt input type  checkbox  ng-model  genrefilters family    gt Family  lt br   gt   genrefilters action      genrefilters family    lt ul gt       lt li ng-repeat  movie in movies   bygenre genrefilters  gt   movie title      movie genre   lt  li gt   lt  ul gt    Edit here is the link  Creating Angular Filters  UPDATE   Here is a fiddle that has an exact demo of my suggestion

The quickest solution that I ve found is to use the filterBy filter from angular-filter  for example    lt input type  text  placeholder  Search by name or genre  ng-model  ctrl search   gt      lt ul gt     lt li ng-repeat  movie in ctrl movies   filterBy    name    genre    ctrl search  gt        movie name      movie genre    -   movie rating      lt  li gt   lt  ul gt    The upside is that angular-filter is a fairly popular library   2 6k stars on GitHub  which is still actively developed and maintained  so it should be fine to add it to your project as a dependency

Creating a custom filter might be overkill here  you can just pass in a custom comparator  if you have the multiples values like    scope selectedGenres    Action  Drama      scope containsComparator   function expected  actual       return actual indexOf expected   gt  -1       then in the filter   filter  name selectedGenres  containsComparator

If you want to filter on Array of Objects then you can give  filter   genres   Action   key  value     Individual property will be filtered by particular filter given for that property   But if you wanted to something like filter by individual Property and filter globally for all properties then you can do something like this  x000D   x000D   lt tr ng-repeat  supp in  data   filter   filterObject    filter   search  gt  x000D   x000D   x000D  Where  filterObject  is an object for searching an individual property and  Search  will search in every property globally    Atul
