Pretty new to angularjs and fairly impressed I have made it this far with this app, thanks to the Stack community. So I have this issue. I am trying to create the correct filter.
I have my controller which does three things,
- It splits the array into groups alphabetically, and the displays the objects withing each group.
- I've also set it to filter the groups by new, all, etc... using a directive on my buttons in the view.
- Now I am trying to create a filter using ng-model, where i am stuck is this...
My current version filters the emails in the current view ie(new, all, etc) this was pretty straight forward.
However it does not filter the object keys, meaning its not filtering the alphabetical index key I have created.
I would rather have it search the whole object rather then just the pre-filtered view that they are in. So basically if the are searching we want it to search everything.
I hope I explained this well enough.
Here is the relevant code...
Controller:
app.controller('emailController', function($scope, Emails) {
Emails.getItems().then(function(response) {
$scope.emails = response.data;
$scope.grouped = group($scope.emails);
function group(arr) {
var grouped = {};
arr.forEach(item => {
var grp = item.sender_email[0]
grouped[grp] = grouped[grp] || [];
grouped[grp].push(item);
})
return grouped;
}
function is_new(arr) {
return arr.filter(function(evl) {
return evl.is_new;
});
}
function inbox(arr) {
return arr.filter(function(evl) {
return !evl.shielded;
});
}
function shield(arr) {
return arr.filter(function(evl) {
return evl.shielded;
});
}
$scope.filter_emails = function(category, element) {
if (category === "inbox") {
$scope.grouped = group(inbox($scope.emails));
} else if (category === "shielded") {
$scope.grouped = group(shield($scope.emails));
} else if (category === "new") {
$scope.grouped = group(is_new($scope.emails));
} else {
$scope.grouped = group($scope.emails);
}
}
})
});
directive:
app.directive('filterGroup', function() {
return {
scope: true,
link: function(scope, element, attrs) {
element.bind('click', function() {
element.parent().children().addClass('btn-outline-primary');
element.parent().children().removeClass('btn-primary');
element.addClass('btn-primary');
element.removeClass('btn-outline-primary');
})
}
}
});
view:
