In my angularjs app i get via json such example of data:
{"id":"1a", "name": "aaa", "emails": {{"[email protected]"}, {"[email protected]"}}},
{"id":"2a", "name": "aba", "emails": {{"[email protected]"}, {"[email protected]"}}},
{"id":"3a", "name": "aab", "emails": {{"[email protected]"}, {"[email protected]"}}},
and for performance reasons i didn't use filter for ng-repeat, but use ng-show schema...
so in controller i have such code (search is my inputs value):
$scope.$watch('search', function(newVal, oldVal) {
$scope.filteredArray = $filter('filter')($scope.users, $scope.search, newVal);
});
but it search even in id's, for example i enter a and get it from id, but i do not need field id here...
So how to search with filter only in specific fields?
If you care about performance, probably the best choice would be not to use $filter('filter')
at all. Assuming your data is a JSON you can do the following:
function contains(src, value, except) {
var key;
switch(typeof src) {
case 'string':
case 'number':
case 'boolean':
return String(src).indexOf(value) > -1;
case 'object':
except = except || [];
for(key in src) {
if( src.hasOwnProperty(key) &&
except.indexOf(key) < 0 &&
contains(src[key], value, except)
) {
return true;
}
}
}
return false;
}
angular.module('app', []).
factory('appService', function() {
var data = [
{"id":"1a", "name": "aaa", "emails": ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]},
{"id":"2a", "name": "aba", "emails": ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]},
{"id":"3a", "name": "aab", "emails": ["[email protected]", "[email protected]", ["[email protected]", "[email protected]"]]}
];
return {
getFilteredData: function(filter, except) {
return filter ? data.filter(function(item) {
return contains(item, filter, except)
}) : data.slice(0);
}
}
}).
controller('appController', ['$scope', 'appService', function($scope, appService) {
$scope.search = '';
$scope.$watch('search', function(val) {
$scope.data = appService.getFilteredData(val, ['id']);
});
}]);

<li ng-repeat="item in data">{{::item}}</li>
</ul>

Code above will make a deep search in all fields of data and it's items excluding list of fields passed as parameter (in this example ['id']
)
Tip #1: Implementing business logic inside controller is kind of bad practice in Angular, which has services for that purpose.
Tip #2: If you have large data-sets to be displayed, debouncing filter change will be very beneficial from performance point of view.
Tip #3: If your data-set items are immutable, you can take advantage of one-time binding (using {{::item}}
syntax) and speed-up your app by reducing number of watches created by Angular.
