Angular Date Range Filter Not Working

Question

I'm trying to figure out why my date range filter is not working and I get thrown the error - [$injector:unpr] Unknown provider: dateRangeProvider <- dateRange <- dashboardController. I tried putting the 'dateRange' in my dependencies and $filter, not sure if what I did was correct or not. Any help is definitely appreciated! Thanks!

My HTML that I am trying to filter between two dates to grab the id of the products

<input style="width:200px; padding:10px; border-radius:4px;"type="text" placeholder="search name" ng-model='productFilter'>
<input type="date" ng-model="to_date">
<input type="date" ng-model="from_date">
<div ng-repeat="product in products | dateRange : from_date : to_date | filter: productFilter track by $index">
  <p>Total Inputs: {{product.createdAt}}{{product._id}}</p>
</div>

This is my DashboardController

app.controller('dashboardController', ['$scope', '$filter', 'OpFactory', function($scope, $filter, OpFactory){

function getProducts(){
  OpFactory.getProducts(function(data){
   $scope.products = data;
   console.log("data from getProducts function in dashboardcontroller", data);
 })
}
getProducts();

$filter('dateRange', function() {
       return function( product, fromDate, toDate ) {
           var filtered = [];
           console.log(fromDate, toDate);
           var from_date = Date.parse(fromDate);
           var to_date = Date.parse(toDate);
           angular.forEach(product, function(item) {
               if(item.completed_date > from_date && product.completed_date < to_date) {
                   filtered.push(item);
               }
           });
           return filtered;
       };
   });
}]);

There were a few issues, but the main issue is how you created the filter. the filter should be appended to your module something like angular.module('mymodule', []).filter('dateRange', fn).

Other then that you have to deal with what you want to render when the filters are not yet fully filled, and you had product.completed_date instead of item.completed date in your filter function.

Here you have a example working (just missing how you want to handle when the input filters are not yet fully filled):

angular.module('webapp', [])
        .filter('dateRange', function () {
             return function(product, fromDate, toDate) {
                 var filtered = [];
                 console.log(fromDate, toDate);
               
                 if (!fromDate && !toDate) {
                     return product;
                 }
                 
                 var from_date = Date.parse(fromDate);
                 var to_date = Date.parse(toDate);
                 angular.forEach(product, function(item) {
                     if (item.createdAt > from_date && item.createdAt < to_date) {
                         filtered.push(item);
                      }
                  });
               
                  return filtered;
             };
        })
        .controller('dashboardController', ['$scope', '$filter', '$timeout', function($scope, $filter, $timeout) {

            $scope.products = [];

            function getProducts() {
                $timeout(function() {
                    $scope.products = [{
                        _id: 1,
                        createdAt: new Date(2000, 1, 1)
                    }, {
                        _id: 2,
                        createdAt: new Date(2001, 1, 1)
                    }, {
                        _id: 3,
                        createdAt: new Date(2002, 1, 1),
                    }, {
                        _id: 4,
                        createdAt: new Date(2003, 1, 1)
                    }];
                }, 500);
            }

            getProducts();
        }]);

Hey Canastro! Thank you so much for educating me on that, I didnt realize i had to do that and it makes sense that I have to append to my module. So in my app.js I actually gave my angular module a var of app. So i basically just did app.filter and it doesn't throw an error. However, I changed the filter function to your specifications and it still isn't filtering by the dates... trying to filter by when it was created at, the "createdAt".

Canastro Over a year ago

Have you changed the places where I left as completed_date to created_at?

Dustin Lee Over a year ago

Yes, I did change it to created_at and it's not filtering yet, but it does filter for the first input value where you track by $index. So I console.log() right before 2nd if statement and in the chrome console it shows it does enter the forEach function but then I console.log inside the 2nd if statement and it never prints what is in the console.log. It seems like it never enters that 2nd if statement

Just updated the sample to use createdAt and made this small video: monosnap.com/file/sBcDEuyUxqUIggKMoEhTkvvvwfTIIu everything seems to work as expected :\

Thanks @canastro i had to add a little more to make it completely work! But your solution definitely helped me get on the right track.

Here is the answer I came up with, for others that are interested as well.

app.filter('dateRange', function () {
 return function(product, fromDate, toDate) {
     var filtered = [];
     console.log(fromDate, toDate, filtered);

     if (!fromDate && !toDate) {
         return product;
     }

     var from_date = Date.parse(fromDate);
     var to_date = Date.parse(toDate);
     angular.forEach(product, function(item) {
       console.log('in the forEach function')
       var createdAt = Date.parse(item.createdAt);
         if (from_date && to_date && createdAt > from_date && createdAt < to_date) {
           console.log('in the if statement', filtered)
           filtered.push(item);
         }
     })

    return filtered;

 };
})

My HTML Table

<table class="receivingDataTable" datatable='ng' style="width: 1000px;">
 <tr>
    <th>Date</th>
    <th>Container #</th>
    <th>Cut #</th>
    <th>CTNS #</th>
    <th>Pieces</th>
    <th>Receiving #</th>
    <th>Remarks</th>
  </tr>
  <tr ng-repeat="product in filtered = (products | dateRange: from_date : to_date)">
    <td>{{product.createdAt | date: "MM/dd/yyyy"}}</td>
    <td>{{product.container_number}}</td>
    <td>{{product.cut_number}}</td>
    <td>{{product.ctns_number}}</td>
    <td>{{product.pieces}}</td>
    <td>{{product._id}}</td>
    <td>{{product.remarks}}</td>
  </tr>
</table>
