Finding exact match with filter

[Frank Panetta]

Hi,

I'm trying to filter an select to only show options that have a
classification of 'User', however this checks if classification
contains 'User' which returns anything that has 'User' in it.

eg-> ng:options="opt.name for opt in references.
$filter({classification:'User'})"

Is there a way to filter for an exact match?

Thanks
Frank

Hi,

I created this fiddle which is simplified version from the Array.filter live doc

Thanks Dan for that, but the filter still shows all values that are
contained in the search filter.

Maybe I'm being unclear. What I mean is that, if I take your example
and change one of the color shades to be 'darker'

function MyCntrl() {
this.colors = [
{name:'black', shade:'dark'},
{name:'whiteblack', shade:'light'},
{name:'red', shade:'darker'},
{name:'blue', shade:'dark'},
{name:'yellow', shade:'light'}
];
}

when I type 'dark' into the search field it shows both 'dark' and
'darker' values. Is there a way to on display data based on an exact
match?

Thanks again.

Thanks guys, that's great!

I'm still learning and the more I use angular the more I like it.

Thanks again.
