AngularJS : Custom filters and ng-repeat

Question

I\'m an AngularJS newbie and I\'m building up a small proof-of-concept car hire listings app that pulls in some JSON and renders out various bits of that data via an ng-repe

If you still want a custom filter you can pass in the search model to the filter:

Where definition for the cartypefilter can look like this:

app.filter('cartypefilter', function() {
  return function(items, search) {
    if (!search) {
      return items;
    }

    var carType = search.carType;
    if (!carType || '' === carType) {
      return items;
    }

    return items.filter(function(element, index, array) {
      return element.carType.name === search.carType;
    });

  };
});
