I have an object stored in $scope.addresscards inside a controller. The js is given below:
var myApp = angular.module('myApp', []);
function MyCtrl($scope) {
$scope.addresscards = {
"work_address": {
"location":"workLoc",
"address": "workAddr",
"flat_no": "worknumber",
"landmark": "workLandmark"
},
"random1_address": {
"location":"someLoc",
"address": "SomeAddr",
"flat_no": "Somenumber",
"landmark": "someLandmark"
},
"home_address": {
"location":"homeLoc",
"address": "homeAddr",
"flat_no": "homenumber",
"landmark": "homeLandmark"
},
"random2_address": {
"location":"someLoc2",
"address": "SomeAddr2",
"flat_no": "Somenumber2",
"landmark": "someLandmark2"
}
};
}
I'm using ng-repeat to display the addresses. Here is the HTML:
<div ng-controller="MyCtrl">
<ul ng-repeat="(addressKey,addressVal) in addresscards">
<li>{{addressKey}} has :: {{addressVal.location}},{{addressVal.address}}, {{addressVal.location}}, {{addressVal.address}}</li>
</ul>
</div>
My output is:
home_address has :: homeLoc, homeAddr, homeLoc, homeAddr
random1_address has :: someLoc, SomeAddr, someLoc, SomeAddr
random2_address has :: someLoc2, SomeAddr2, someLoc2, SomeAddr2
work_address has :: workLoc, workAddr, workLoc, workAddr
I want to display the output such that, if the object has home_address it should be displayed 1st, then if the object has work_address it should be displayed. Then rest of the object should be showed alphabetically.
Here is expected result that I want to display:
home_address has :: homeLoc, homeAddr, homeLoc, homeAddr
work_address has :: workLoc, workAddr, workLoc, workAddr
random1_address has :: someLoc, SomeAddr, someLoc, SomeAddr
random2_address has :: someLoc2, SomeAddr2, someLoc2, SomeAddr2
I tried it using orderBy, It doesn't work on objects. How do I achieve this?
You can add a property to your address objects
$scope.addresscards = {
"work_address": {
"location":"workLoc",
"address": "workAddr",
"flat_no": "worknumber",
"landmark": "workLandmark",
"sort" : "2"
},
"random1_address": {
"location":"someLoc",
"address": "SomeAddr",
"flat_no": "Somenumber",
"landmark": "someLandmark"
},
"home_address": {
"location":"homeLoc",
"address": "homeAddr",
"flat_no": "homenumber",
"landmark": "homeLandmark",
"sort" : "1"
},
"random2_address": {
"location":"someLoc2",
"address": "SomeAddr2",
"flat_no": "Somenumber2",
"landmark": "someLandmark2"
}
};
and in your ng-repeat you can orderBy multiple fields first by sort to display home and work address first and then by address key for alphabetical order.
<ul ng-repeat="(addressKey,addressVal) in addresscards | orderBy:['sort','addressKey']">
<li>{{addressKey}} has :: {{addressVal.location}},{{addressVal.address}}, {{addressVal.location}}, {{addressVal.address}}</li>
</ul>
or in your controller you can sort all other addresses and append home and work address to the beginning of your list.
