Ways to achieve combined outcomes using ng-repeat

Check out this plunker.

<div ng-repeat="subCategory in subCategorys | filter:{tags:tag}:true | orderBy:'id'">
      {{subCategory.id}} {{subCategory.name}} {{subCategory.tags}}
      <br/><br/>
      The detailed information of <span ng-init="subCats = subCats + ' '  + subCategory.name">{{subCats}}</span> is now visible.
    </div> 

This web page demonstrates a filtered outcome derived from an object. Instead of the current result, I aim to exhibit a comprehensive list of names following the phrase "The detailed information of." For instance, "The detailed information of Jim Tom." This streamlined compilation should be presented subsequent to the element with the ng-repeat command.

Any suggestions on how to achieve this?

Appreciate your help.

Answer №1

Here is a new updated plunker I created specifically for your issue.

In the future, please try to condense your example plunker to focus only on the specific problem at hand as it makes it easier for us to assist you.

Initially, I integrated the search binding as a filter within the ng-repeat directive to enable the filter function:

<div ng-repeat="subCategory in subCategorys | filter:{tags:tag}:true | filter:{id:search} | orderBy:'id'">

To prevent executing the filter multiple times, you can directly save the filtered result into a scope variable by assignment (as shown in my example with subCategorysFilter):

<div ng-repeat="subCategory in subCategorysFilter = (subCategorys | filter:{tags:tag}:true | filter:{id:search} | orderBy:'id')">

I also revised your getAllFilteredNames() method to accept a filter object as input, iterate through the results, create an array of names, and join them using a comma as a separator:

$scope.getAllFilteredNames = function(filter){
    var names = [];
    angular.forEach(filter, function(element){
      names.push(element.name);
    });
    return names.join(", ");
};

This function is now called outside of the ng-repeat directive:

You are now viewing details of {{getAllFilteredNames(subCategorysFilter)}}

Enjoy experimenting!


Additional Update

For displaying multi-line output, consider these two options:

1 - Modify the line

<div>You are now viewing details of {{getAllFilteredNames(subCategorysFilter)}}</div>

to

<div>You are now viewing details of <span ng-bind-html="getAllFilteredNames(subCategorysFilter)"></span></div>

This allows html tags within the expression to be interpreted as html code. However, Angular typically disables this feature for valid reasons. If users can edit the objects, precautions must be taken to prevent design disruptions caused by escaped html tags...

2 - If consolidating information in a single string isn't necessary, utilize another ng-repeat along with a <ul> like so:

<div>You are now viewing details of <br/>
  <ul>
    <li ng-repeat="subCategory in subCategorysFilter">{{subCategoryName}}</li>
  </ul>
</div>

Style your li elements accordingly to display vertically aligned and you're good to go.

Answer №2

To implement this functionality in your HTML, you can restructure your code by moving the consolidated list outside of the ngRepeat and applying the filter once more:

  <div ng-repeat="subCategory in subCategorys | filter:{tags:tag}:true | orderBy:'id'">
         {{subCategory.id}} {{subCategory.name}} {{subCategory.tags}}
         <br/><br/>
  </div>
  <div>
        You are now viewing details of 
        <span ng-repeat="subCategory in subCategorys | filter:{tags:tag}:true | orderBy:'id'">
                  {{subCategory.name}}&nbsp;
        </span>
  </div>

The downside of this method is that it involves calling the filter function twice. A more efficient solution would be to set up a $watch in your parent controller and manually invoke the $filter. This way, you can store the filtered results in a scope variable. The advantage is that the filter will only be called half as often, and the scope variables you define will be accessible to both the original and consolidated lists.

app.controller('ParentController', function($scope, $filter) {
        $scope.subCategorys = [{...}];
        $scope.tag = {...};
        $scope.$watchCollection('subCategorys', function(newList){
               //if the collection changes, create a new tag 
               //reference that is a copy of the old one to trigger 
               //the tag watch listener
               if (newList)
                   $scope.tag = angular.copy($scope.tag);
        });
        $scope.$watch('tag', function(newTag){
               // if tag changes, apply the filter, 
               // and save the result to a scope variable
               if(newTag)
                    $scope.filteredList = $filter('filter')
                          ($scope.subCategories, { tags: newTag},  true);
        });

});

Updated HTML

<div ng-controller="ParentController">

  <div ng-repeat="subCategory in filteredList | orderBy:'id'">
         {{subCategory.id}} {{subCategory.name}} {{subCategory.tags}}
         <br/><br/>
  </div>
  <div>
        You are now seeing details of 
        <span ng-repeat="subCategory in filteredList | orderBy:'id'">
                  {{subCategory.name}}&nbsp;
        </span>
  </div>

</div>

Answer №3

Unfortunately, the only way to achieve this is by going back and selecting the subCategory again. However, there is a clever solution using Angular framework. Simply include this code snippet in your controller:

$scope.getSubCategoryById = function(id) {
  return $filter('filter')($scope.subCategories, {id:id})[0]; 
}

Then update your HTML like so:

<div ng-repeat="subCategory in subCategories | filter:{tags:tag}:true | orderBy:'id'">
      {{subCategory.id}} {{subCategory.name}} {{subCategory.tags}}
      <br/><br/>
      You are now viewing details of {{ getSubCategoryById(2).name }}
</div> 

I hope I understood your query correctly.
