Angular 4 - how to sort version number string in an array using custom pipe?
I have a json file with version number like v.9.1, v.9.2, v10.0. I tried sorting using custom pipe but sorted as v.9.2, v.9.1, v.10.0 rather than v.10.0, v.9.2, v.9.1. So it looks like it's been treated as string.
Here is what I have tried in the pipe:
import {Injectable, PipeTransform, Pipe} from '@angular/core';
import { P11dComponent } from './p11d.component';
@Pipe({
name: 'sortByVersion'
})
@Injectable()
export class SortVersionPipe implements PipeTransform{
transform(array: Array<any>, args: string): Array<any> {
if (array !== undefined) {
array.sort((a: any, b: any) => {
if ( parseFloat(a[args.slice(3,4)]) < parseFloat(b[args.slice(3.4)]) ){
return 1;
} else if ( parseFloat(a[args.slice(3,4)]) < parseFloat(b[args.slice(3.4)]) ) {
return -1;
} else {
return 0;
}
});
}
return array;
}
}
If we have array like:
arr = ['v.9.1', 'v.9.2', 'v.10.0']
then transform
method could look like:
transform(array: Array<any>): Array<any> {
if(!array) {
return null;
}
return array.sort((a, b) => b.slice(2) - a.slice(2));
}
Just a note: you do not need to use @Injectable
for classes that has already adorned @Component
, @NgModule
, @Directive
or @Pipe
decorator.
