How to apply filters to *ngFor?

Question

Apparently, Angular 2 will use pipes instead of filters as in Angular1 in conjunction with ng-for to filter results, although the implementation still seems to be vague, wit

Answer 1

I created the following pipe for getting desired items from a list.

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';

@Pipe({
  name: 'filter'
})
export class FilterPipe implements PipeTransform {

  transform(items: any[], filter: string): any {
    if(!items || !filter) {
      return items;
    }
    // To search values only of "name" variable of your object(item)
    //return items.filter(item => item.name.toLowerCase().indexOf(filter.toLowerCase()) !== -1);

    // To search in values of every variable of your object(item)
    return items.filter(item => JSON.stringify(item).toLowerCase().indexOf(filter.toLowerCase()) !== -1);
  }

}

Lowercase conversion is just to match in case insensitive way. You can use it in your view like this:-

  


  

    

      

        
        
{{reward.name}}
