I am using angularjs ui grid api. I have created a single html input tag to apply a filter to all columns based on the users input. I want to filter each column then combine the results into a single ui grid

I have tried to loop through each column and apply the text filter from the input tag to all columns. This however looks for a row in the ui grid that has the text from the input tag in all columns. I want to display all rows that have at least one column that contains the filter string not all rows that contain the filter string in all columns

angular.module('main') .controller('mainCtrl', function($scope, $filter, uiGridConstants) {

    // ********************************************
    // ui-grid configuration and functionality
    // ********************************************
    $scope.atlasUserMonitorGrid = {

        enableSorting: true,
        enableFiltering: true,
        enableGridMenu: true,
        enableColumnMenus: false,

        // pagination settings
        paginationPageSizes: [1, 2, 5, 10],
        paginationPageSize: 5,

        // Dummy test data
        data: [

            }
        }
    }

filterBy: bo ui-grid

name group

bob group1

john group2

amy bobo_group

expected results:

result

name group

bob group1

amy bobo_group

actual results:

name group

* empty *

This is because the filtering is looking for a row that contains the string "bo" in the name and group column. I want it to filter the ui grid if it has the string "bo" in the name or group column.

  • Take a look at registerRowsProcessor() function, and the example on [this page](http://ui-grid.info/docs/#!/tutorial/Tutorial:%20321%20Single%20filter). I think that's what you're looking for... – Remko Feb 11 '19 at 11:10
  • Hi Remko, I think that is exactly what I need. I am going to implement it now then I will mark this as resolved with my solution. Thanks :) – user8685657 Feb 11 '19 at 11:27

I solved my problem thanks to the link from Remko.

I have attached the link below for the docs that helped me implement the single filter
