In this Angular tutorial, we’ll learn how to implement a filter search on a dataset using a pipe filter with the help of ng2-search-filter. This package helps to filter out a collection provided as a source in the *ngFor directive.
Sometimes we may have a long list of items or data in tabular form which is added on the component for users. In that case, adding a simple filter search bar can prove a boon for a user to filter the required set of information.
The ng2-search-filter package provides a ready to use pipe filter to add search functionality nearly to any type of object data collection. We don’t need to create a separate pipe filter and import it on every module to use.
This package is very easy to use and implement.
Here we will look into the steps required to install the ng2-search-filter package and usage tutorial with some more tricks and tips.
