I am using aurelia and want to filter a collection (array) in view rather than in view model.
I am trying the following syntax to do so:
<div class="col-sm-7 col-md-7 col-lg-7 ${errors.filter(function(err){return err.Key==='car.Model';}).length >0? 'alert alert-danger' :''}">
<span repeat.for="error of errors">
<span if.bind="error.Key==='car.Model'">
${error.Message}
</span>
</span>
</div>
And I am getting following error in browser console:
Error: Parser Error: Missing expected ) at column 28 in [errors.filter(function(err){return err.Key==='car.Model';]
.
This is possible in angularJS as follows:
<div class="small-7 medium-7 large-7 columns end">
<span class="error" ng-repeat="error in errors | filter:{ Key: 'car.Model'}">
<span class="error-message">
{{error.Message}}
</span>
</span>
</div>
Is similar thing also possible in aurelia?
I would also love to know how a collection/array can be filtered in repeat.for
in aurelia (similar to ng-repeat
). I tried to use filter function in similar fashion but it too didn't work and I got similar error.
It's a little embarrassing. But after a little research (which I should have done beforehand :P) I have got the answer.
It can be done using ValueConverter as shown here: http://jdanyow.github.io/aurelia-converters-sample/.
And I think it's quite cool.
Now my code looks like this:
<div class="col-sm-7 col-md-7 col-lg-7 alert alert-danger" if.bind="errors | hasPropertyValue:'Key':'car.Model'">
<span repeat.for="error of errors | filterOnProperty:'Key':'car.Model'">
<span>
${error.Message}
</span>
</span>
</div>
And I have defined couple of valueconverters in TypeScript (valueconverters.ts
):
export class FilterOnPropertyValueConverter {
toView(array: {}[], property: string, exp: string) {
if (array === undefined || array === null || property === undefined || exp === undefined) {
return array;
}
return array.filter((item) => item[property].toLowerCase().indexOf(exp.toLowerCase()) > -1);
}
}
export class HasPropertyValueValueConverter {
toView(array: {}[], property: string, exp: string) {
if (array === undefined || array === null || property === undefined || exp === undefined) {
return false;
}
return array.filter((item) => item[property].toLowerCase().indexOf(exp.toLowerCase()) > -1).length > 0;
}
}
And I finally imported these in my view: <import from="yourPath/valueconverters"></import>
Good to learn how to use Aurelia in the similiar way. How about get the count of the filtered list like the following angular 1 code?
<div class="small-7 medium-7 large-7 columns end">
<span class="error" ng-repeat="error in filtered = (errors | filter:{ Key: > 'car.Model'})">
<span class="error-message">
{{error.Message}}
</span>
</span>
</div>
<div class="row text-center" ng-if="errors.length>0">
Total records: {{filtered.length}}
</div>
