Defining Filters in Angular JS Application

Share this article

Filters in Angular JS are used in views to format the data displayed to the user. Once a filter is defined, it can be used throughout a module, which means we can use them to ensure consistency in data presentation across multiple controllers and views. This is one of the powerful and very important features of Angular JS. In this article we will learn different ways that filters can be used, including using the built-in filters that come with AngularJS.
