Angular.js ng-repeat filter by property having one of multiple values (OR of values)

Question

Is it possible to filter an array of objects, such that the value of property can be either of a few values (OR condition) without writing a custom filter

Answer 1

I found a more generic solution with the most angular-native solution I can think. Basically you can pass your own comparator to the default filterFilter function. Here's plunker as well.

Answer 2

I thing ng-if should work:

<div ng-repeat="product in products" ng-if="product.color === 'red' 
|| product.color === 'blue'">

Answer 3

In HTML:

<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter: colorFilter">

In Angular:

$scope.colorFilter = function (item) { 
  if (item.color === 'red' || item.color === 'blue') {
  return item;
 }
};

Answer 4

Here is a way to do it while passing in an extra argument:

<div ng-repeat="group in groups">
    <li ng-repeat="friend in friends | filter:weDontLike(group.enemy.name)">
        <span>{{friend.name}}</span>
    <li>
</div>

With the backend:

$scope.weDontLike = function(name) {
    return function(friend) {
        return friend.name != name;
    }
}

.

And yet another way with an in-template filter only:

<div ng:app>
  <div ng-controller="HelloCntl">
    <ul>
       <li ng-repeat="friend in friends | filter:{name:'!Adam'}">
            <span>{{friend.name}}</span>
            <span>{{friend.phone}}</span>
        </li>
    </ul>
</div>

Answer 5

Best way to do this is to use a function:

<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter: myFilter">

$scope.myFilter = function (item) { 
    return item === 'red' || item === 'blue'; 
};

Alternatively, you can use ngHide or ngShow to dynamically show and hide elements based on a certain criteria.

Answer 6

For me, it worked as given below:

<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter: { color: 'red'||'blue' }">

<div ng-repeat="product in products | filter: { color: 'red'} | filter: { color:'blue' }">
