Filters are used to modify the data. They can be clubbed in expression or directives using pipe (|) character. The following list shows the commonly used filters.
Sr.No. | Name & Description |
---|---|
1 | uppercase converts a text to upper case text. |
2 | lowercase converts a text to lower case text. |
3 | currency formats text in a currency format. |
4 | filter filter the array to a subset of it based on provided criteria. |
5 | orderby orders the array based on provided criteria. |
Add uppercase filter to an expression using pipe character. Here we've added uppercase filter to print student name in all capital letters.
Enter first name:<input type = "text" ng-model = "student.firstName"> Enter last name: <input type = "text" ng-model = "student.lastName"> Name in Upper Case: {{student.fullName() | uppercase}}
Add lowercase filter to an expression using pipe character. Here we've added lowercase filter to print student name in all lowercase letters.
Enter first name:<input type = "text" ng-model = "student.firstName"> Enter last name: <input type = "text" ng-model = "student.lastName"> Name in Lower Case: {{student.fullName() | lowercase}}
Add currency filter to an expression returning number using pipe character. Here we've added currency filter to print fees using currency format.
Enter fees: <input type = "text" ng-model = "student.fees"> fees: {{student.fees | currency}}
To display only required subjects, we use subjectName as filter.
Enter subject: <input type = "text" ng-model = "subjectName"> Subject: <ul> <li ng-repeat = "subject in student.subjects | filter: subjectName"> {{ subject.name + ', marks:' + subject.marks }} </li> </ul>
To order subjects by marks, we use orderBy marks.
Subject: <ul> <li ng-repeat = "subject in student.subjects | orderBy:'marks'"> {{ subject.name + ', marks:' + subject.marks }} </li> </ul>
The following example shows use of all the above mentioned filters.
