The “filter” Filter in AngularJS is used to filter the array and object elements and return the filtered items. In other words, this filter selects a subset (a smaller array containing elements that meet the filter criteria) of an array from the original array.
Syntax:
{{arrayexpression | filter: expression : comparator : anyPropertyKey}}
Parameter Values:
- arrayexpression: The source array on which the filter will be applied.
- expression: It is used to select the items from the array after the filter conditions are met. It can be of String type, Function type, or Object type.
- comparator: It is used to determine the value by comparing the expected value from the filter expression, and the actual value from the object array.
- anyPropertyKey: It is an optional parameter having the special property that is used to match the value against the given property. It is of String type & its default value is $.
Example 1: This example describes the AngularJS filter Filter by filtering & rendering the name only having the character “e” in the name.

Example 2: This example uses an object to filter its element.

<ol>
<li ng-repeat=
"x in customers | filter :{'name' : 'e', 'city' : 'Patna'}">
{{x.name + ", " + x.city}}
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
The filter will give a match if there is an
"e" character in the name, and the city is
"Patna". Milk wasn't matched because the alphabet
'e' is not present.
</p>
<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('arrCtrl', function ($scope) {
$scope.customers = [{
"name": "Chocolate Shake",
"city": "Patna"
}, {
"name": "Hot Chocolate",
"city": "Delhi"
}, {
"name": "Milk",
"city": "Patna"
}, {
"name": "Coffee",
"city": "Patna"
}, {

"city": "Mumbai"
}, {

Example 3: In this example, we are going to see a “strict” caparison that does not return any value unless it is a pure match.

<ol>
<li ng-repeat=
"x in customers | filter : 'Chinchwad' : true">
{{x.name + ", " + x.city}}
</li>
</ol>
</div>
<p>
The filter will give a match for the array
item(s) where one or more object values are
"Chinchwad".

<script>
var app = angular.module('myApp', []);
app.controller('arrCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.customers = [{

"name": "Gurgaon Catering",
"city": "Haryana City"
}, {
"name": "Noida temperature",
"city": " Chinchwad"
}, ];
});
</script>
</body>
</html>

Output:
Note: If you notice that the last Chinchwad in the array is not included in the list, because the last Chinchwad contains space before itself.
