String to integer in AngularJS view

Question

I know how to convert a string to an integer in the controller

parseInt( $scope.date)

But i have to do this in the view

<span data-ng-show="item.date">{{ item.date | hbdatetime }}</span>

In the view itself i have to convert the date ( which i am getting as a string ) to an integer so that i can filter with hbdatetime .

I am trying something like this

// <data-ng-show="item.date">parseInt{{ item.date | hbdatetime }}</span>

Please help in angular way

Is hbdatetime a custom filter of yours? If so, do any conversions there. Lastly, you should be able to run any valid JS expression within the curly braces, ie: {{ parseInt(item.date) | hbdatetime }} — Mike Pugh

You need to place the function call to parseInt inside the expression:

<span data-ng-show="item.date">{{ parseInt(item.date) | hbdatetime }}</span>

Angular will pass the value of item.date to the function and then apply the filter to the return value.

You might want to consider writing your own filter that can handle a string as input.
