Filtering a data in angular with regex expression but doesnot get any output i am filtering data by following way: "trying to do exact match"
$scope.filteredEntries = filterFilter($scope.data, {path:'^/$'})
And $scope.data has following
$scope.data = [{'id':1,'Name':'abc','path':'/'},
{'id':2,'Name':'def','path':'/'},
{'id':3,'Name':'xyz','path':'/abc/'}]
expected data afterfilter
[{'id':1,'Name':'abc','path':'/'},
{'id':2,'Name':'def','path':'/'}]
Regular expressions are not supported like this, because it would be hard for framework to distinguish it from actual string '^/$'.
If you want exact match you can provide a comparator parameter true:
$scope.filteredEntries = filterFilter($scope.data, {path: '/'}, true);
Another options is to use a function to filter objects:
$scope.filteredEntries = filterFilter($scope.data, function(obj) {
return /^\/$/.test(obj.path);
});
Note, that regular expression should be ^\/$, you need to escape / character. However for this specific task using regular expressions is overkill, you probably should go with the first option.
