ngRepeat Filter by deep property
You need to pass in the argument to filter by:
<input ng-model="filter.key"><ul> <li ng-repeat="e in list | filter: {Manager: {Name: filter.key}}"> {{e.Name}} (Manager: {{e.Manager.Name}}) </li></ul>
If you are filtering multiple properties then the syntax would be similar to below.
<ul> <li ng-repeat="item in list | {filter: top_object_property_name: value, top_object_property_with_nested_objects_name: {nested_object_property_name: value}}"> ... </li></ul>
eg:
var employees = [name: 'John', roles: [{roleName: 'Manager'},{roleName: 'Supervisor'}]]; <li ng-repeat="staff in employees | {filter: name: 'John', roles: {roleName: 'Manager'}}"> ... </li>
To filter with multiple deep property we need to create custom filter.What i mean we need to create our own function to filter the data in object and return the required object(filtered object).
For example i need to filter data from below object -
[{ "document":{ "documentid":"1", "documenttitle":"test 1", "documentdescription":"abcdef" }},{ "document":{ "documentid":"2", "documenttitle":"dfjhkjhf", "documentdescription":"dfhjshfjdhsj" }}]
In HTML we use ng-repeat to show document list -
<div> //search input textbox <input ng-model="searchDocument" placeholder="Search"> </div><div ng-repeat="document in documentList | filter: filteredDocument"> //our html code </div>
In Controller we write filter function to return filtered object by using two properties of object which are "documenttitle" and "documentdescription", code example is as below -
function filterDocuments(document) { if($scope.searchDocument) { if(document.documentTitle.toLowerCase().indexOf($scope.searchDocument.toLowerCase()) !== -1 || document.document.shortDescription.toLowerCase().indexOf($scope.searchDocument.toLowerCase()) !== -1) { //returns filtered object return document } }else { return document; } }
Where $scope.searchDocument is the scope variable which binded to the search textbox (HTML input tag) in which user can input the text to search.
