Data Filtering in Angular.js Using Filter

This article shows how to use the "filter" that filters the data in Angular.js.

Note. I am using the Visual Studio 2012 IDE as an editor in this article, but you can use any kind of editor, like Notepad, Notepad++, and so on.

Some built-in filter

Step 1. Create an ASP.NET Empty Web Application named "Angular_JS" as in the following.

Step 2. Add an HTML page into it named "Search.html".

Step 3. Download the Angular.js from the link Angularjs and save it to your website.

Note. I am using Angular.min.js in this website.

Step 4. After adding the Angular.js into the website, write the script tag that will access the Angular file.

Step 5. Now write the code using Directives and Data binding expressions into the page.

a. Write the ng-app directive in the <html> tag, which is necessary to initialize the Angular app.

<html ng-app xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml"></html>

b. Write the ng-init directive in the <p> tag, which will initialize the data in the variable named "names" like in Array as in the following.

<p ng-init="Days=['Monday','Tuesday','Wednesday','Thursday','Friday','Saturday', 'Sunday']"> </p>

c. Use a <input> tag with type =” text” and write the ng-model directive with a string named "searchText" in it.

<input type="text" ng-model="searchText">

d. Now write the ng-repeat directive with the Days variable in a <p> tag like a for each loop in C# with the filter: searchText that will filter the Days variable on the basis of the TextBox string.

<p ng-repeat="day in Days | filter:searchText"> </p>

e. In the end write the Data Binding Expression of the variable "day" within the brackets syntax that will iterate the values of the "Days" variable as in the following.

{{ day }}

Data Binding Expression

Step 6. Run the page.

Run the page

Type any letter in the TextBox, like "f", and now you will see the days containing an "f" character in it.
