I have a business requirement that I filter a boolean value in my ngGrid. The filter has three states: only true, only false and both. Filtering like this seems to be a common enough use case that I should refactor that functionality out of my code for re use (possibly in a directive/filter?). I'd like to know how I can go about pulling out the customFilter function in my controller and make it so that I can pass the filter a property name on which to filter, and a value for selectedFilterOption. The code currently works, but I feel like this is a good chance to get better at angular :).
So how can I pull out my filtering used here and make it a reusable piece of functionality?
app.controller('DocumentController',function($scope,DocumentService) {
$scope.filterOptions = {
filterText: '',
useExternalFilter: false
};
$scope.totalServerItems =0;
$scope.pagingOptions ={
pageSizes: [5,10,100],
pageSize: 5,
currentPage: 1
}
//filter!
$scope.dropdownOptions = [{
name: 'Show all'
},{
name: 'Show active'
},{
name: 'Show trash'
}];
//default choice for filtering is 'show active'
$scope.selectedFilterOption = $scope.dropdownOptions[1];
//three stage bool filter
$scope.customFilter = function(data){
var tempData = [];
angular.forEach(data,function(item){
if($scope.selectedFilterOption.name === 'Show all'){
tempData.push(item);
}
else if($scope.selectedFilterOption.name ==='Show active' && !item.markedForDelete){
tempData.push(item);
}
else if($scope.selectedFilterOption.name ==='Show trash' && item.markedForDelete){
tempData.push(item);
}
});
return tempData;
}
//grabbing data
$scope.getPagedDataAsync = function(pageSize, page, filterValue, searchText){
var data;
if(searchText){
var ft = searchText.toLowerCase();
DocumentService.get('filterableData.json').success(function(largeLoad){
//filter the data when searching
data = $scope.customFilter(largeLoad).filter(function(item){
return JSON.stringify(item).toLowerCase().indexOf(ft) != -1;
})
$scope.setPagingData($scope.customFilter(data),page,pageSize);
})
}
else{
DocumentService.get('filterableData.json').success(function(largeLoad){
var testLargeLoad = $scope.customFilter(largeLoad);
//filter the data on initial page load when no search text has been entered
$scope.setPagingData(testLargeLoad,page,pageSize);
})
}
};
//paging
$scope.setPagingData = function(data, page, pageSize){
var pagedData = data.slice((page -1) * pageSize, page * pageSize);
//filter the data for paging
$scope.myData = $scope.customFilter(pagedData);
$scope.myData = pagedData;
$scope.totalServerItems = data.length;
if(!$scope.$$phase){
$scope.$apply();
}
}
//watch for filter option change, set the data property of gridOptions to the newly filtered data
$scope.$watch('selectedFilterOption',function(){
var data = $scope.customFilter($scope.myData);
$scope.myData = data;
$scope.getPagedDataAsync($scope.pagingOptions.pageSize, $scope.pagingOptions.currentPage);
$scope.setPagingData($scope.myData,$scope.pagingOptions.currentPage,$scope.pagingOptions.pageSize);
})
$scope.$watch('pagingOptions',function(newVal, oldVal){
if(newVal !== oldVal && newVal.currentPage !== oldVal.currentPage){
$scope.getPagedDataAsync($scope.pagingOptions.pageSize,$scope.pagingOptions.currentPage,$scope.filterOptions.filterText);
}
},true)
$scope.message ="This is a message";
$scope.gridOptions = {
data: 'myData',
enablePaging: true,
showFooter:true,
totalServerItems: 'totalServerItems',
pagingOptions: $scope.pagingOptions,
filterOptions: $scope.filterOptions,
showFilter: true,
enableCellEdit: true,
showColumnMenu: true,
enableColumnReordering: true,
enablePinning: true,
showGroupPanel: true,
groupsCollapsedByDefault: true,
enableColumnResize: true
}
//get the data on page load
$scope.getPagedDataAsync($scope.pagingOptions.pageSize, $scope.pagingOptions.currentPage);
});
