OrderBy pipe issue

Question

I m not able to translate this code from Angualr 1 to Angular 2     ng-repeat  todo in todos   orderBy   completed     This is what i ve done following the Thierry Templier s answer   Component  template      ngFor   todo of todos   sort    Component code      Component       selector   my-app       templateUrl     app todo-list component html       providers   TodoService       pipes    TodosSortPipe         Pipe code     import   Pipe   from  angular2 core   import  Todo  from    todo     Pipe     name   sort     export class TodosSortPipe     transform array  Array lt Todo gt   args  string   Array lt Todo gt        array sort  a  any  b  any    gt          if  a  lt  b            return -1          else if  a  gt  b            return 1          else           return 0                      return array          I m trying to sort an array of Todos  ordered by the property completed  First todo completed   false and then the todo complete   true   I don t understand very well the transform method and how to pass the arguments in that method and in the sort method   What is the args  string argument  What are a and b and where they come from

Please see https   angular io guide pipes appendix-no-filterpipe-or-orderbypipe for the full discussion  This quote is most relevant  Basically  for large scale apps that should be minified aggressively the filtering and sorting logic should move to the component itself       Some of us may not care to minify this aggressively  That s our   choice  But the Angular product should not prevent someone else from   minifying aggressively  Therefore  the Angular team decided that   everything shipped in Angular will minify safely       The Angular team and many experienced Angular developers strongly   recommend that you move filtering and sorting logic into the component   itself  The component can expose a filteredHeroes or sortedHeroes   property and take control over when and how often to execute the   supporting logic  Any capabilities that you would have put in a pipe   and shared across the app can be written in a filtering sorting   service and injected into the component

Angular doesn t come with an orderBy filter out of the box  but if we decide we need one we can easily make one  There are however some caveats we need to be aware of to do with speed and minification  See below   A simple pipe would look something like this   import   Pipe  PipeTransform   from   angular core     Pipe     name   sort     export class SortPipe implements PipeTransform     transform ary  any  fn  Function    a b    gt  a  gt  b   1   -1   any       return ary sort fn          This pipe accepts a sort function  fn   and gives it a default value that will sort an array of primitives in a sensible way  We have the option of overriding this sort function if we wish   It does not accept an attribute name as a string  because attribute names are subject to minification  They will change when we minify our code  but minifiers are not smart enough to also minify the value in the template string   Sorting primitives  numbers and strings   We could use this to sort an array of numbers or strings using the default comparator   import   Component   from   angular core     Component     selector   cat     template          numbers   sort         strings   sort          export class CatComponent   numbers Array lt number gt     1 7 5 6    stringsArray lt string gt      cats    hats    caveats       Sorting an array of objects  If we want to sort an array of objects  we can give it a comparator function   import   Component   from   angular core     Component     selector   cat     template          cats   sort byName          export class CatComponent   cats Array lt Cat gt           name   Missy         name   Squoodles         name   Madame Pompadomme         byName a b        return a name  gt  b name   1   -1         Caveats - pure vs  impure pipes  Angular 2 has a concept of pure and impure pipes    A pure pipe optimises change detection using object identity  This means that the pipe will only run if the input object changes identity  for example if we add a new item to the array  It will not descent into objects  This means that if we change a nested attribute  this cats 2  name    Fluffy  for example  the pipe will not rerun  This helps Angular to be fast  Angular pipes are pure by default   An impure pipe on the other hand will check object attributes  This potentially makes it much slower  Because it can t guarantee what the pipe function will do  perhaps it sortd differently based on the time of day for example   an impure pipe will run every time an asynchronous event occurs  This will slow down your app considerably if the array is large   The pipe above is pure  This means it will only run when the objects in the array are immutable  If you change a cat  you must replace the entire cat object with a new one   this cats 2     name  Tomy     We can change the above to an impure pipe by setting the pure attribute   import   Pipe  PipeTransform   from   angular core     Pipe     name   sort     pure  false    export class SortPipe implements PipeTransform     transform ary  any  fn  Function    a b    gt  a  gt  b   1   -1   any       return ary sort fn          This pipe will descend into objects  but will be slower  Use with caution

You could implement a custom pipe for this that leverages the sort method of arrays   import   Pipe   from  angular2 core     Pipe     name   sort     export class ArraySortPipe     transform array  Array lt string gt   args  string   Array lt string gt        array sort  a  any  b  any    gt          if  a  lt  b            return -1          else if  a  gt  b            return 1          else           return 0                      return array          And use then this pipe as described below  Don t forget to specify your pipe into the pipes attribute of the component    Component             template         lt li  ngFor  list   sort  gt         lt  li gt         pipes    ArraySortPipe              It s a simple sample for arrays with string values but you can have some advanced sorting processing  based on object attributes in the case of object array  based on sorting parameters         Here is a plunkr for this  https   plnkr co edit WbzqDDOqN1oAhvqMkQRQ p preview   Hope it helps you  Thierry

As we know filter and order by are removed from ANGULAR 2 and we need to write our own  here is a good example on plunker and detailed article  It used both filter as well as orderby  here is the code for order pipe  import   Pipe  PipeTransform   from   angular core        Pipe    name   orderBy     export class OrderrByPipe implements PipeTransform      transform records  Array lt any gt   args   any   any              return records sort function a  b             if a args property   lt  b args property                return -1   args direction                        else if  a args property   gt  b args property                return 1   args direction                        else              return 0

I ve created an OrderBy pipe that does just what you need  It supports being able to sort on multiple columns of an enumerable of objects as well    lt li  ngFor   todo in todos   orderBy     completed    gt   todo name     todo completed   lt  li gt    This pipe does allow for adding more items to the array after rendering the page  and will sort the array with the updates dynamically   I have a write up on the process here   And here s a working demo  http   fuelinteractive github io fuel-ui   pipe orderby and https   plnkr co edit DHLVc0 p info

Recommend u use lodash with angular  then your pipe will be next   import  Pipe  PipeTransform  from   angular core   import   as   from  lodash   Pipe       name   orderBy     export class OrderByPipe implements PipeTransform        transform array  Array lt any gt   args   any   any           return   sortBy array   args               and use it in html like   ngFor     todo of todos   orderBy  completed     and don t forget add Pipe to your module   NgModule                declarations   OrderByPipe
