I have implemented a custom filter in AngularJS that organizes my elements based on date.
Here is the HTML code snippet:
<table ng-repeat="(index, groupData) in something = (recentTasks | groupBy:dataGroupBy) track by $index">
The custom filter function looks like this:
module.filter('groupBy', function () {
return function(items, field) {
var groups = [];
switch (field) {
case 'week':
angular.forEach(items, function(item) {
// Logic for grouping tasks by week
});
break;
case 'month':
angular.forEach(items, function(item) {
// Logic for grouping tasks by month
});
break;
default:
angular.forEach(items, function(item) {
// Default logic for grouping tasks
});
}
return groups;
}
});
This filter takes an array of tasks ('recentTasks') as input and groups them based on date into separate tables. However, it is causing an infinite digest loop error.
Can anyone provide guidance on how to resolve this issue? Alternatively, are there better solutions for achieving the desired outcome?
EDIT: Here are examples of input and output:
$scope.items = [
{name: 'Abc', date: '2014-03-12'},
{name: 'Def', date: '2014-03-13'},
{name: 'Ghi', date: '2014-03-11'},
{name: 'Jkl', date: '2014-03-12'}
]
The expected output should be grouped like this:
[
'2013-03-11': [
{name: 'Ghi'}
],
'2013-03-12': [
{name: 'Abc'},
{name: 'Jkl'}
],
'2013-03-13': [
{name: 'Def'}
]
]
Each day's items should be displayed in separate tables within the HTML structure.
<table ng-repeat="dayData in groupBy(items, 'day')">
<thead>
<tr><td>{{ dayData.date }}</td> </tr>
</thead>
<tbody>
<tr ng-repeat="item in dayData.items">
<td>{{ item.name }}</td>
</tr>
</tbody>
</table>
