ng-repeat :filter by single field

Question

I have an array of products that I'm repeating over using ng-repeat and am using

<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter:by_colour"> 

to filter these products by colour. The filter is working but if the product name / description etc contains the colour then the product remains after the filter is applied.

How do I set the filter to only apply to the colour field of my array rather than every field?

Answer 1

Specify the property (i.e. colour) where you want the filter to be applied:

<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter:{ colour: by_colour }">

Answer 2

See the example on the filter page. Use an object, and set the color in the color property:

Search by color: <input type="text" ng-model="search.color">
<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter:search"> 

Answer 3

If you want to filter on a grandchild (or deeper) of the given object, you can continue to build out your object hierarchy. For example, if you want to filter on 'thing.properties.title', you can do the following:

<div ng-repeat="thing in things | filter: { properties: { title: title_filter } }">

You can also filter on multiple properties of an object just by adding them to your filter object:

<div ng-repeat="thing in things | filter: { properties: { title: title_filter, id: id_filter } }">

Answer 4

Specify the property in filter, of object on which you want to apply filter:

//Suppose Object
var users = [{
  "firstname": "XYZ",
  "lastname": "ABC",
  "Address": "HOUSE NO-1, Example Street, Example Town"
},
{
  "firstname": "QWE",
  "lastname": "YUIKJH",
  "Address": "HOUSE NO-11, Example Street1, Example Town1"
}]

But you want to apply filter only on firstname

<input type = "text" ng-model = "first_name_model"/>
<div ng-repeat="user in users| filter:{ firstname: first_name_model}">

Answer 5

Be careful with angular filter. If you want select specific value in field, you can't use filter.

Example:

javascript

app.controller('FooCtrl', function($scope) {
   $scope.products = [
       { id: 1, name: 'test', color: 'lightblue' },
       { id: 2, name: 'bob', color: 'blue' }
       /*... etc... */
   ];
});

html

<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter: { color: 'blue' }"> 

This will select both, because use something like substr
That means you want select product where "color" contains string "blue" and not where "color" is "blue".

Answer 6

You can filter by an object with a property matching the objects you have to filter on it:

app.controller('FooCtrl', function($scope) {
   $scope.products = [
       { id: 1, name: 'test', color: 'red' },
       { id: 2, name: 'bob', color: 'blue' }
       /*... etc... */
   ];
});

<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter: { color: 'red' }"> 

This can of course be passed in by variable, as Mark Rajcok suggested.
