How to find an object in a list by comparing on object property

Question

How could I scan an array of objects in order to find an object by matching the object property:

$scope.items = [
  { id: 1, name: \'one\' }, 
  { id: 2, name: \

You can use Angular's built-in filter functionality to perform the search:

$scope.filteredItems = function() {
    return $filter($scope.items, id == filterID);
}

Here is a fiddle showing the filter in action: http://jsfiddle.net/wittersworld/xV8QT/
