How to filter values in ng-repeat using an array variable?

Question

I have some values like

 historyValues =[{
        "hsID": "001",
        "hsType": 1,
        "hsName": "ABC"
    },
{
        "hsID": "002",
        "hsType": 2,
        "hsName": "BCD"
    }
{
        "hsID": "003",
        "hsType": 2,
        "hsName": "CDE"
    }]

I have ng-repeat like below

<div ng-repeat="value in `historyValues` | myFilter: [1,2]">

I have created a myFilter and it is working perfectly when values are given as above, but I want to pass it as a variable like below

<div ng-repeat="value in 'historyValues' | myFilter: filteredArray">

I think Answer to your qn is here. Create a custom filter that accepts multiple values. [You Answer](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/15868248/how-to-filter-multiple-values-or-operation-in-angularjs) — Jins Peter, May 02 '17 at 05:48

You can create a custom filter which accepts the array as input , something like this,

.filter('selectedTypes', function() {
    return function(historyValues, types) {
        return historyValues.filter(function(historyval) {
            for (var i in historyval.Types) {
                if (types.indexOf(historyval.types[i]) != -1) {
                    return true;
                }
            }
            return false;
        });
    };
})

DEMO

angular.module('myApp', [])
  .filter('selectedTypes', function() {
    return function(historyValues, types) {
      return historyValues.filter(function(historyval) {
        for (var i in historyval.Types) {
          if (types.indexOf(historyval.Types[i]) != -1) {
            return true;
          }
        }
        return false;
      });
    };
  })
  .controller('TestCtrl', function($scope) {
    $scope.types = ['1', '2'];
    $scope.historyValues = [{
        Title: "This is a task title",
        Types: ["1", "3", "2", "5", "6"]
      }, {
        Title: "Another test tag title",
        Types: [ "4", "7"]
      }

    ];
  });

Thanks for the quick answer @Sajeetharan. But, how can I use the same filter for another set of data. Here you are filtering it for a specified scope variable. — scary_devil, May 02 '17 at 06:20
Suppose my **historyValues** changes to some other variable, then should I create another custom filter for that? — scary_devil, May 02 '17 at 06:23
yes you need to, otherwise created a directive which could accept dynamic input and use the filter there — Sajeetharan, May 02 '17 at 06:25
Your method is working for me, but unable to pass it as a variable. Question is updated. — scary_devil, May 02 '17 at 13:44

You will have to write your own custom filter which would take filterType as a second parameter and filter the historyValues based on some logic.

Demo Code is attached below:

<script>

var module = angular.module('main', [])
.controller('mainCntrl', function($scope) {
   $scope.historyValues = [{
     type: 4, 
     val: 'History1'
   }, {
    type: 2,
    val: 'History2'
   }, {
    type: 4,
    val: 'History3'
   }];
})
.filter('myFilter', function() {
  return function(input, exp) {
   var vals = [];

   angular.forEach(input, function(val) {
      if(val.type === exp) {
          vals.push(val);
      }
   });

   return vals; 
  }
})

</script>


<div ng-app="main">

<div ng-controller="mainCntrl">
  <div ng-repeat="item in historyValues | myFilter: 4">
    {{item.val}}
  </div>
</div>

</div>

You can write a custom filter on an object containing multiple values.

Demo: https://codepen.io/sumitridhal/pen/QvgNKR

HTML

<div class="container">
  <h1>Movies</h1>

<div ng-init="movies = [
          {title:'Man on the Moon', genre:'action'},
          {title:'Meet the Robinsons', genre:'family'},
          {title:'Sphere', genre:'drama'},
          {title:'Sphere', genre:'family'},
          {title:'Sphere', genre:'action'},
          {title:'Sphere', genre:'drama'}
       ];" />
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="genrefilters.action" />Action
<br />
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="genrefilters.drama" />Drama
<br />
<input type="checkbox" ng-model="genrefilters.family" />Family
<br />{{genrefilters.action}}::{{genrefilters.drama}}::{{genrefilters.family}}
<ul>
    <li ng-repeat="movie in movies | bygenre:genrefilters">{{movie.title}}: {{movie.genre}}</li>
</ul>

</div>

JS

angular.module('myFilters', []).
filter('bygenre', function () {
    return function (movies, genres) {
    if(genres){
    let condition = [];
    angular.forEach(genres, function(value, key){
  if(value) condition.push(key);
   });
       console.log(condition);

       let filtered = movies.filter(function(movie) {
        return  condition.indexOf(movie.genre) != -1;
      });

      return filtered;
      } else 
      return [];
    };
});

angular.bootstrap(document, ['myFilters']);

Have you tried multiple arguments in the filter, rather than writing your own filter:

 <div ng-repeat="value in historyValues |
   filter: { filterType: '4', filterType: '5', filterType: '6' }">

array elements are not static, it is dynamic values. – scary_devil May 02 '17 at 08:40
