I\'m trying to achieve something similar to (Sim

Answer 1

You can't apply pipes dynamically. What you can do is to build a "meta" pipe that decides what transformation(s) to do.

@Pipe({
  name: 'meta'
})
class MetaPipe implements PipeTransform {
  transform(val, pipes:any[]) {
    var result = val;
    for(var pipe of pipes) {
      result = pipe.transform(result);
    }
    return result;
  }
}

and then use it like

{{cell.content | meta:[cell.pipe]}}
