Actual.pipe.ts

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core'; 

@Pipe({
    name: 'FilterPipe',
})
export class FilterPipe implements PipeTransform {
    transform(value: any, input: string) {
        if (input) {
            input = input.toLowerCase();
            return value.filter(function (el: any) {
                return el.Name.toLowerCase().indexOf(input) > -1;
            })
        }
        return value;
    }
}

import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import {CommonModule} from "@angular/common";

import {FilterPipe} from "./Actual.pipe";

@NgModule({

I tried referring to other similar questions as well, but even those didn't yeld any result. Am new to Angular2 , please help with this. Thanks for reading !


Solution

  • You should import your pipe into declarations not under imports,

    try this,

    declarations: [
            AppComponent,
            AlertComponent,
            MainPipe,
            HomeComponent,
            LoginComponent,
            RegisterComponent,
            FileSelectDirective,
            UploadComponent,
            ReadComponent,
            DragComponent
        ],
