How to split a string with angularJS

Question

I wanted to know if I can split a string simply in angularJS. I have my

 $scope.test = "test1,test2"; 

in my controller and in my view, I wanted to do something like that

{{test[0] | split(',')}} {{test[1] | split(',')}} 

I've seen a lot thing about input and ng-change calling a function in the controller that split the string or something with ng-list but nothing works in my case.

thx to all.

You may want to wrap that functionality up into a filter, this way you don't have to put the mySplit function in all of your controllers. For example

angular.module('myModule', [])     .filter('split', function() {         return function(input, splitChar, splitIndex) {             // do some bounds checking here to ensure it has that index             return input.split(splitChar)[splitIndex];         }     }); 

From here, you can use a filter as you originally intended

{{test | split:',':0}} {{test | split:',':0}}
