Underscorejs _.where with wildcard

Question

Have the following in an AngularJS controller:

$scope.initiatives = _.where($scope.initiatives, {i_status_id:'Open'});

It works fine to filter down the list based on a field if the property value is exactly 'Open'.

How do you use wildcard in the filter value so that it picks up 'Open - Pending' if I search for all the ones that contain 'Open'?

Answer 1

You can use _.filter instead. Something like:

$scope.initiatives = _.filter($scope.initiatives, function(initiative){
    return initiative.i_status_id.indexOf('Open')>=0;
});
