$filter not getting the desired output in angularjs

Question

I have JSON field like below,

"newId":5

i have my search object like,

{aId: "5", aName: "Other"}

and have written filter like,

$filter('filter')($scope.races, {newId:myObj.aId},true);

I get an empty array as output. I tried adding toString() also did not work. Am i doing anything wrong.

Answer 1

You have two solution: 1- To make both fields of the same data type :

$scope.races = [{"newId":5}]
var myObje = {aId: 5, aName: "Other"};
$filter('filter')($scope.races, {newId:myObje.aId},true);

Note: aId = 5 (not "5").

2- to write your custom comparator

$filter('filter')($scope.races, {newId:myObje.aId},function(a,b){return a == b;});

Note: a==b (not a === b).
