I am trying to use the filter in Angular Material Data Table like -
If I search for "MATCHED", then both "MATCHED" and "UNMATCHED" comes up in the status column of the Data table.
I know that it is because the data object is reduced and concatenated and the filter is applied(from the Angular Material Docs).
I want to display only the "MATCHED" status, if is search for matched.
So I am looking for a filter that will do exact word filtering instead of substrings.
How to proceed ?
I read this post but I was not able to proceed.
Here you go - StackBlitz
Following on from the answer that you referred to we need to define filterPredicate :
export class TableFilteringExample {
displayedColumns: string[] = ['position', 'name', 'weight', 'symbol'];
dataSource = new MatTableDataSource(ELEMENT_DATA);
constructor() {
this.dataSource.filterPredicate = (data: PeriodicElement, filter: string) => {
return data.name === filter;
}
}
applyFilter(filterValue: string) {
this.dataSource.filter = filterValue.trim();
}
}
Note that toLowerCase()
has been removed from filterValue.trim()
.
