If I use ng-repeat
with filter
, how can I determine how many elements are filtered out (or vice versa, how many are shown)? Specifically, I would like to create a search bar that creates the filter, but I would also like to show how many elements are hidden by the filter (ie something like Showing 6 of 10 results
).

In your repeater you can create new array ie : personsfiltered
ng-repeat="person in personsfilterd = (persons | filter : search )
and after that just display length of orignal array and filtered array :
Showing {{personsfilterd.length}} of {{persons.length }} results
Full code here:
var app = angular.module('app', []);
app.controller('fCtrl', function($scope) {
$scope.persons = [
'Mike', 'Tom', 'Tim', 'Jim', 'Ken'
]
});
<div ng-app="app">
<div ng-controller="fCtrl">
<input type="text" ng-model = "search"> Showing {{personsfilterd.length}} of {{persons.length }} results
<li ng-repeat="person in personsfilterd = (persons | filter : search )">{{person}}</li>
</div>
</div>

I was using this for a while and it was working great, but it stopped working for some reason. Can you perhaps opine on my new question: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/26341910/variable-set-in-ng-repeat-not-being-created – David says Reinstate Monica Oct 13 '14 at 14:43
First, the ngRepeat
has these: $index
, $first
, $middle
, $last
for determining the current position. So I guess you may be interested in the $last
. What I'm not sure about is whether it will pick up the original count or the filtered one.
EDIT:
You can obtain the count of original value from your ctrl, by setting the varX.length
and using that in your template (HTML code) and then, assuming that $last
is returning the final count+1 (as it's 0-based) you can have the count after filter is applied.

I found my answer here. The solution is to assign the filtered data to a new variable in the ng-repeat
. Potentially could cause some memory issues, but not really relevant in my case.
