ngx pipes Using in Angular

Posted By : Ajeet Kumar | 09-May-2023

ngx-pipe is a library of pipes for Angular, a popular web application framework.

Pipes in Angular are used to transform data before displaying it in the UI.

ngx-pipe provides a set of commonly used pipes that can be easily integrated into an Angular application.

ngx-pipe is a library for Angular applications that provides a set of pipes (filters) that can be used to transform data in templates. Pipes are a way to format and manipulate data in Angular templates without modifying the underlying data.

The ngx-pipe library includes a variety of pipes for common data transformations such as formatting dates, numbers, and strings, filtering and sorting arrays, and transforming objects. Some of the popular pipes in ngx-pipe are OrderByPipe, FilterPipe, GroupByPipe, MaskPipe, TruncatePipe, SlugifyPipe, and MomentPipe.

To use ngx-pipe, you need to install it using npm or yarn and then import the desired pipe into your Angular module. For example, to use the OrderByPipe, you would import it in your module like this:

 

Some examples of pipes provided by ngx-pipe include:

  • OrderByPipe: sorts an array by a specified property
  • FilterPipe: filters an array based on specified criteria
  • GroupByPipe: groups an array by a specified property
  • SumPipe: calculates the sum of an array of numbers
  • SafePipe: sanitizes HTML content to prevent XSS attacks
  • TimeAgoPipe: displays a timestamp as a relative time (e.g. "2 hours ago")

To use ngx-pipe in an Angular application, you can install it via npm and then import the desired pipes in your component's module. For example:

1. npm install ngx-pipe

 

2. import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { OrderByPipe } from 'ngx-pipe';

@NgModule({
  declarations: [
    //...
  ],
  imports: [
    //...
  ],
  providers: [
    OrderByPipe // <-- Add the pipe to the providers array
  ],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule { }

 

You can then use the pipe in your component's template like this:

<ul> <li *ngFor="let item of items | orderBy:'name'">{{ item.name }}</li> </ul>

<ul> <li *ngFor="let item of items | filterBy:'name':searchTerm">{{ item.name }}</li> </ul>

This example uses the OrderByPipe to sort an array of items by the name property.

In the above examples, the orderBy pipe is used to sort an array of items by their name property, and the filterBy pipe is used to filter an array of items based on a search term.
