I've been searching for a few hours now and I can't seem to find the answer for my problem anywhere. I remember that I was able to implement it before but for some reason I lost the code and I can't seem to remember what I did to make it work.

I'm trying display data from an array in a select box using ng-options. That one I have no problems with. What I need to implement is that only certain array values will be displayed/included in the select box.

My data is as follows:

$scope.chartList = [ { id : 1, name : chart 1, order : 1, active : false },

                     { id : 2, name : chart 2, order : 2, active : true },

                     { id : 3, name : chart 3, order : 3, active : true },

                     { id : 4, name : chart 4, order : 4, active : true }, 

                     { id : 5, name : chart 5, order : 5, active : true } ];

And my HTML looks like:

<select ng-model=toAddChart ng-options=chart.id as chart.name for chart in chartList | filter:chart.active=='false'>

  <option value=></option>

</select>

So what I want to happen is that if the value of the attribute active is false then it's the only time the array item will be displayed/included in the select list. I've tried different permutations of the filter attribute but none seem to work.

I know I can easily use ng-repeat in the tag and use ng-show but I remember reading somewhere (again, I can't find where) that it's not the proper way to implement it and that using ng-options is the correct way.

I'm really really sure I was able to do it before without creating a custom javascript filter, but for the life of me I can't remember how I did it. I'm hoping someone can

Hope someone can help me with this because I'm out of ideas.

Update:

Great scott, I think I've got it.

Instead of:

filter:chart.active=='false'

It should be:

filter:chart.active='false'

It's just the number of equal signs used. facepalm

Thanks for the responses, everyone.
