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()...
This question is related to
javascript
angularjs
angularjs-ng-repeat
Too late to join the party but may be it can help someone:
We can do it in two step, first filter by first property and then concatenate by second filter:
$scope.filterd = $filter('filter')($scope.empList, { dept: "account" });
$scope.filterd = $scope.filterd.concat($filter('filter')($scope.empList, { dept: "sales" }));
You can also use ngIf
if the situation permits:
<div ng-repeat="p in [
{ name: 'Justin' },
{ name: 'Jimi' },
{ name: 'Bob' }
]" ng-if="['Jimi', 'Bob'].indexOf(e.name) > -1">
{{ p.name }} is cool
</div>
Here is my example how create filter and directive for table jsfiddle
directive get list (datas) and create table with filters
<div ng-app="autoDrops" ng-controller="HomeController">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-12">
<h1>{{title}}</h1>
<ng-Multiselect array-List="datas"></ng-Multiselect>
</div>
</div>
</div>
my pleasure if i help you
OPTION 1: Using Angular providered filter comparator parameter
// declaring a comparator method
$scope.filterBy = function(actual, expected) {
return _.contains(expected, actual); // uses underscore library contains method
};
var employees = [{name: 'a'}, {name: 'b'}, {name: 'c'}, {name: 'd'}];
// filter employees with name matching with either 'a' or 'c'
var filteredEmployees = $filter('filter')(employees, {name: ['a','c']}, $scope.filterBy);
OPTION 2: Using Angular providered filter negation
var employees = [{name: 'a'}, {name: 'b'}, {name: 'c'}, {name: 'd'}];
// filter employees with name matching with either 'a' or 'c'
var filteredEmployees = $filter('filter')($filter('filter')(employees, {name: '!d'}), {name: '!b'});
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($filter('filter')(this.filteredData,fObj));
} else if (angular.isArray(obj)){
if (obj.length > 0){
for (var i=0;i<obj.length;i++){
if (angular.isDefined(obj[i])){
fObj[key] = obj[i];
fData = fData.concat($filter('filter')(this.filteredData,fObj));
}
}
}
}
if (fData.length > 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:::
the best answer is :
filter:({genres: 'Action', genres: 'Comedy'}
you can use searchField filter of angular.filter
JS:
$scope.users = [
{ first_name: 'Sharon', last_name: 'Melendez' },
{ first_name: 'Edmundo', last_name: 'Hepler' },
{ first_name: 'Marsha', last_name: 'Letourneau' }
];
HTML:
<input ng-model="search" placeholder="search by full name"/>
<th ng-repeat="user in users | searchField: 'first_name': 'last_name' | filter: search">
{{ user.first_name }} {{ user.last_name }}
</th>
<!-- so now you can search by full name -->
Angular Or Filter Module
$filter('orFilter')([{..}, {..} ...], {arg1, arg2, ...}, false)
here is the link: https://github.com/webyonet/angular-or-filter
I wrote this for strings AND functionality (I know it's not the question but I searched for it and got here), maybe it can be expanded.
String.prototype.contains = function(str) {
return this.indexOf(str) != -1;
};
String.prototype.containsAll = function(strArray) {
for (var i = 0; i < strArray.length; i++) {
if (!this.contains(strArray[i])) {
return false;
}
}
return true;
}
app.filter('filterMultiple', function() {
return function(items, filterDict) {
return items.filter(function(item) {
for (filterKey in filterDict) {
if (filterDict[filterKey] instanceof Array) {
if (!item[filterKey].containsAll(filterDict[filterKey])) {
return false;
}
} else {
if (!item[filterKey].contains(filterDict[filterKey])) {
return false;
}
}
}
return true;
});
};
});
Usage:
<li ng-repeat="x in array | filterMultiple:{key1: value1, key2:[value21, value22]}">{{x.name}}</li>
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.
<tr ng-repeat="supp in $data | filter : filterObject | filter : search">
_x000D_
~Atul
The quickest solution that I've found is to use the filterBy
filter from angular-filter, for example:
<input type="text" placeholder="Search by name or genre" ng-model="ctrl.search"/>
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="movie in ctrl.movies | filterBy: ['name', 'genre']: ctrl.search">
{{movie.name}} ({{movie.genre}}) - {{movie.rating}}
</li>
</ul>
The upside is that angular-filter is a fairly popular library (~2.6k stars on GitHub) which is still actively developed and maintained, so it should be fine to add it to your project as a dependency.
You can use a controller function to filter.
function MoviesCtrl($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:
<div ng-controller="MoviesCtrl">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="movie in movies | filter:filterByGenres">
{{ movie.name }} {{ movie.genre }}
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I've spent some time on it and thanks to @chrismarx, I saw that angular's default filterFilter
allows you to pass your own comparator. Here's the edited comparator for multiple values:
function hasCustomToString(obj) {
return angular.isFunction(obj.toString) && obj.toString !== Object.prototype.toString;
}
var comparator = function (actual, expected) {
if (angular.isUndefined(actual)) {
// No substring matching against `undefined`
return false;
}
if ((actual === null) || (expected === null)) {
// No substring matching against `null`; only match against `null`
return actual === expected;
}
// I edited this to check if not array
if ((angular.isObject(expected) && !angular.isArray(expected)) || (angular.isObject(actual) && !hasCustomToString(actual))) {
// Should not compare primitives against objects, unless they have custom `toString` method
return false;
}
// This is where magic happens
actual = angular.lowercase('' + actual);
if (angular.isArray(expected)) {
var match = false;
expected.forEach(function (e) {
e = angular.lowercase('' + e);
if (actual.indexOf(e) !== -1) {
match = true;
}
});
return match;
} else {
expected = angular.lowercase('' + expected);
return actual.indexOf(expected) !== -1;
}
};
And if we want to make a custom filter for DRY:
angular.module('myApp')
.filter('filterWithOr', function ($filter) {
var comparator = function (actual, expected) {
if (angular.isUndefined(actual)) {
// No substring matching against `undefined`
return false;
}
if ((actual === null) || (expected === null)) {
// No substring matching against `null`; only match against `null`
return actual === expected;
}
if ((angular.isObject(expected) && !angular.isArray(expected)) || (angular.isObject(actual) && !hasCustomToString(actual))) {
// Should not compare primitives against objects, unless they have custom `toString` method
return false;
}
console.log('ACTUAL EXPECTED')
console.log(actual)
console.log(expected)
actual = angular.lowercase('' + actual);
if (angular.isArray(expected)) {
var match = false;
expected.forEach(function (e) {
console.log('forEach')
console.log(e)
e = angular.lowercase('' + e);
if (actual.indexOf(e) !== -1) {
match = true;
}
});
return match;
} else {
expected = angular.lowercase('' + expected);
return actual.indexOf(expected) !== -1;
}
};
return function (array, expression) {
return $filter('filter')(array, expression, comparator);
};
});
And then we can use it anywhere we want:
$scope.list=[
{name:'Jack Bauer'},
{name:'Chuck Norris'},
{name:'Superman'},
{name:'Batman'},
{name:'Spiderman'},
{name:'Hulk'}
];
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="item in list | filterWithOr:{name:['Jack','Chuck']}">
{{item.name}}
</li>
</ul>
Finally here's a plunkr.
Note: Expected array should only contain simple objects like String, Number etc.
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";
$scope.containsComparator = function(expected, actual){
return actual.indexOf(expected) > -1;
};
then in the filter:
filter:{name:selectedGenres}:containsComparator
My solution
ng-repeat="movie in movies | filter: {'Action'} + filter: {'Comedy}"
I had similar situation. Writing custom filter worked for me. Hope this helps!
JS:
App.filter('searchMovies', function() {
return function (items, letter) {
var resulsts = [];
var itemMatch = new RegExp(letter, 'i');
for (var i = 0; i < items.length; i++) {
var item = items[i];
if ( itemMatch.test(item.name) || itemMatch.test(item.genre)) {
results.push(item);
}
}
return results;
};
});
HTML:
<div ng-controller="MoviesCtrl">
<ul>
<li ng-repeat="movie in movies | searchMovies:filterByGenres">
{{ movie.name }} {{ movie.genre }}
</li>
</ul>
</div>
I believe this is what you're looking for:
<div>{{ (collection | fitler1:args) + (collection | filter2:args) }}</div>
Please try this
var m = angular.module('yourModuleName');
m.filter('advancefilter', ['$filter', function($filter){
return function(data, text){
var textArr = text.split(' ');
angular.forEach(textArr, function(test){
if(test){
data = $filter('filter')(data, test);
}
});
return data;
}
}]);
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
