Example of Angular Custom Filter to Reverse a String

A filter is a way to format the value of an expression to the required shape. By default AngularJS provides many filters like currency, date, json, limitTo, lowercase, number, orderBy & uppercase. You can also create your own Custom Filters. Let us talk about the below Example. Here I Created an angular custom filter to Reverse a String. Let me explain the program how it is working.

Example of Angular Custom Filter

First to add AngularJS library I added script tag with Google API file “angular.min.js”. By referring this with ng-app tag in my html page I made integrated AngularJS Framework to my App. Next I Created an AngularJS module named as “DemoApp”. To create a module in AngularJS I used angular.module Syntax. This is assigned to html body tag using ng-app from AngularJS. It says the body tag is in the scope of module.

In my page I have a simple input control. What I want is on adding text in this input box I want to display the input value in both the order original & reverse order. After created the module, I added a filter method from AngularJS. Which accepts 2 parameters. The first parameter is name of the Custom Filter & the Second one is the Function which return a Function with result of reverse input.

Using charAt, I am printing the index characters and concatenating result with this as a return result. In html body part finally I am calling our reverse custom filter for Filtered Value. The syntax is as below.

{{ text | reverse }}

– Copy this Code to Notepad.
– Save this as a html file. Open this in your Browser.

<p>app.filter("reverse", function() {<br />
return function(input) {<br />
var result = "";<br />
input = input || "";<br />
for (var i=0; i<input.length; i++) {
result = input.charAt(i) + result;
}
return result;
};
});

</script>


<input type="text" ng-model="text" placeholder="Enter your inputs here...">

Input Value : {{ text }}

Filtered Value : {{ text | reverse }}
