exact filter in angular

Question

In Angular, is there a way to modify the filter such that it only returns exact matches?

Example:

var words = [
    {   title: \"ball\"   },
    {            


        

Answer 1

You can use Regex to achieve a simple implementation:

In the controller:

$scope.myFilter = function (word) {
    if ($scope.query === '') return true;
    var reg = RegExp("^" + $scope.query + "$");
    return reg.test(word.title);
};
