I have a JSON object representing calendar dates. These are added through a CMS and I'd like to be able to filter them based on date. My schema set-up has made this more difficult than I thought. Is it possible to orderBy the day value in this JSON object or is there a filter workaround?
Here is my JSON object:
{
"_id" : ObjectId("53f252537d343a9ad862866c"),
"year" : {
"December" : [],
"November" : [],
"October" : [],
"September" : [],
"August" : [],
"July" : [
{
"day" : "21",
"title" : "Event Title",
"summary" : "Event Summary",
"description" : "oEvent Description",
"_id" : ObjectId("53f252537d343a9ad862866d")
}
],
"June" : [],
"May" : [],
"April" : [],
"March" : [],
"February" : [],
"January" : []
},
"__v" : 0
}
Here is my view which already uses a custom filter to filter by month. The orderBy is not functioning but I've left it in as a placeholder to show where I'd like to set the functionality.
<div class="calDynamic" data-ng-repeat="n in [] | range:100">
<div ng-repeat="cal in calendar[n].year | filterKey:month">
<div ng-if="cal != '' ">
<div class="calendar">
<div ng-repeat="item in cal | orderBy: 'key.day' ">
<a href="/events/{{item.day}}">
<article class="eventslist">
<div class="numberedDate">
<h3>{{item.day}}</h3>
</div>
<div class="calInfo">
<h5>{{item.title}}</h5>
<p>{{item.summary}} <a>more</a></p>
</div>
</article>
</div><!-- ng-repeat val,key -->
</div><!-- calendar -->
</div><!-- ng-if cal -->
</div><!-- ng-repeat cal -->
</div><!-- calDynamic -->
You should be able to define a custom sort function that sorts by any item in your object. The key bit is to convert the object to an array in the filter function.
Here's an example:
app.filter('orderByDayNumber', function() {
return function(items, field, reverse) {
var filtered = [];
angular.forEach(items, function(item) {
filtered.push(item);
});
filtered.sort(function (a, b) {
return (a[field] > b[field] ? 1 : -1);
});
if(reverse) filtered.reverse();
return filtered;
};
});
You would then call it like this:
<div ng-repeat="(key, val) in cal | orderByDayNumber: 'day' ">
Note, you shouldn't write val.day
as that is assumed.
Look at this great blog post here for more info.
EDIT: In fact, it looks like your structure is actually already an array, so while this technique will still work, it may not be necessary - it might have just been the way you were adding the parameter to orderBy that was causing issues.
