Filter on multiple columns using one pipe angular 2

Here is a solution using the object passed as multiple columns filter. I found it more convenient then passing a 2D array:

    @Pipe({
        name: 'filter'
    })
    export class FilterPipe implements PipeTransform {
        transform(items: Array<any>, filter: {[key: string]: any }): Array<any> {
            return items.filter(item => {
                const notMatchingField = Object.keys(filter)
                                             .find(key => item[key] !== filter[key]);

                return !notMatchingField; // true if matches all fields
            });
        }
    }

Having an array of objects with multiple columns:

this.people = [
  {name: 'John', age: 27, sex: 'male'},
  {name: 'Lara', age: 21, sex: 'female'},
  {name: 'Rick', age: 29, sex: 'male'},
  {name: 'Eva',  age: 27, sex: 'female'},
  {name: 'Mike', age: 27, sex: 'male'}
];

And a filter:

this.peopleFilter = {age: 27, sex: 'male'};

Use it like:

 <div *ngFor="let person of people | filter: peopleFilter;"></div>

As a result, two people are matching our criteria: John and Mike.

Here is the working plunker: Multiple columns filter pipe demo.


Here is what I did with Angular 8:

Goal: Search on multiple properties say "Property1" and "Property2" from a list of items for a given keyword:

app.module.ts:

......
import { MyFilterPipe } from './shared/pipes/my-filter.pipe';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    ...
    MyFilterPipe
  ],
  imports: [
    ...
  ],
  providers: [],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

Pipe: content-filter.pipe.ts

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

@Pipe({
  name: 'myFilter'
})
export class MyFilterPipe implements PipeTransform {

  transform(items: any[], keyword: any, properties: string[]): any[] {
    if (!items) return [];
    if (!keyword) return items;
    debugger;
    return items.filter(item => {
      var itemFound: Boolean;
      for (let i = 0; i < properties.length; i++) {
        if (item[properties[i]].toLowerCase().indexOf(keyword.toLowerCase()) !== -1) {
          itemFound = true;
          break;
        }
      }
      return itemFound;
    });

  }
}

component:

<input type="search" class="form-control filter-list-input" placeholder="Filter"
                  aria-label="Filter" name="search" [(ngModel)]="searchText" >

    <div *ngFor="let itemof myItems | myFilter:searchText:['Property1', 'Property2']; let i = index">...
</div>

component.ts:

export class MyListComponent implements OnInit {

  ...
  searchText: string;
