How to use a filter in a controller?
angular-filters, angularjs, ng-controller
Solution
Inject $filter to your controller
function myCtrl($scope, $filter)
{
}
Then wherever you want to use that filter, just use it like this:
$filter('filtername');
If you want to pass arguments to that filter, do it using separate parentheses:
function myCtrl($scope, $filter)
{
$filter('filtername')(arg1,arg2);
}
Where `arg1` is the array you want to filter on and `arg2` is the object used to filter.
Problem
I have written a filter function which will return data based on the argument you are passing. I want the same functionality in my controller. Is it possible to reuse the filter function in a controller? This is what I've tried so far: ``` function myCtrl($scope,filter1) { // i simply used the filter function name, it is not working. } ```
