Implement a search filter for the <mat-select> component of angular material


Trying to implement a simple application in angular 2 using angular material.
I implemented a simple table with pagination .

I also used mat-select component, but for this i want implement a search filter to type and search the required option from the list.

Below shown is my .html file

<table>
 <tr><td> Department</td>
<td>
  <mat-form-field>
  <mat-select placeholder=" ">
    <mat-option> </mat-option>
    <mat-option *ngFor="let dep of dept" [value]="dep">{{dep}}</mat-option>
  </mat-select>
</mat-form-field><br/>
</td>
</tr>


</table>

<br><br>

<button >Search</button>

<button >Reset</button>

<button >Close</button>


<mat-card>
<div class="example-container mat-elevation-z8">
  <mat-table #table [dataSource]="dataSource">

    <!-- Account No. Column -->
    <ng-container matColumnDef="accno">
      <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Account No. </mat-header-cell>
      <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.accno}} </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>

    <!-- Account Description Column -->
    <ng-container matColumnDef="accdesc">
      <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Account Description </mat-header-cell>
      <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.accdesc}} </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>

    <!-- Investigator Column -->
    <ng-container matColumnDef="investigator">
      <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Investigator </mat-header-cell>
      <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.investigator}} </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>

    <!-- Account CPC Column -->
    <ng-container matColumnDef="accCPC">
      <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Account CPC </mat-header-cell>
      <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.accCPC}} </mat-cell>
    </ng-container>

     <!-- Location Column -->
    <ng-container matColumnDef="location">
      <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Location </mat-header-cell>
      <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.location}} </mat-cell>
       </ng-container>


 <!-- Client Dept ID Column -->
    <ng-container matColumnDef="cdeptid">
      <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> ClientDeptID </mat-header-cell>
      <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.cdeptid}} </mat-cell>
       </ng-container>


        <!-- Dept Description Column -->
    <ng-container matColumnDef="depdesc">
      <mat-header-cell *matHeaderCellDef> Dept Description  </mat-header-cell>
      <mat-cell *matCellDef="let element"> {{element.depdesc}} </mat-cell>
       </ng-container>


    <mat-header-row *matHeaderRowDef="displayedColumns"></mat-header-row>
    <mat-row *matRowDef="let row; columns: displayedColumns;"></mat-row>
  </mat-table>

  <mat-paginator #paginator
                 [pageSize]="10"
                 [pageSizeOptions]="[5, 10, 20]">
  </mat-paginator>
</div>
</mat-card>

Below shown is my .ts file

import {Component, ViewChild} from '@angular/core';
import {MatPaginator, MatTableDataSource} from '@angular/material';

@Component({
  selector: 'app-account',
  templateUrl: './account.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./account.component.scss']
})

export class AccountComponent {



  dept = [
    'Administrative Computer',
    'Agosta Laboratory',
    'Allis Laboratory',
    'Bargaman Laboratory',
    'Bio-Imaging Resource Center',
    'Capital Projects',
    'Casanova Laboratory',
    'Darst Laboratory',
    'Darnell James Laboratory',
    'Deans Office',
    'Energy Consultant',
    'Electronic Shop',
    'Facilities Management',
    'Field Laboratory'
  ];


  displayedColumns = ['accno', 'accdesc', 'investigator', 'accCPC','location','cdeptid','depdesc'];
  dataSource = new MatTableDataSource<Element>(ELEMENT_DATA);

  @ViewChild(MatPaginator) paginator: MatPaginator;

   ngAfterViewInit() {
    this.dataSource.paginator = this.paginator;
  }
}

export interface Element {
  accno: number;
  accdesc: string;
  investigator: string;
  accCPC: string;
  location:string;
  cdeptid: number;
  depdesc: string;
}

const ELEMENT_DATA: Element[] = [
  {accno: 5400343, accdesc: 'ASTRALIS LTD', investigator:'Kruger, James G.', accCPC: 'OR',location:'ON',cdeptid: 110350,depdesc: 'Kruger Laboratory'}

  ];

can anybody please help me to implement search filter with mat-select component in my application?


Solution

  • Just and this code in the search event method:

    keyUp(data:any){
        this.dataSource.filter= data.toLowerCase()
    
        if(this.dataSource.paginator){
            this.dataSource.paginator.firstPage()
        }
    }
