How to adapt working html Angular filter for javascript

Question

In html, {{ 'ShowFullMonth' | translate }} works fine to display some localised text 'Show Full Month'. However, when studying the this similar question and the Angular Docs I cannot see how to adapt this for javascript.

$filter('translate')(['ShowFullMonth']) gives me [object Object].

Any help would be great.

Answer 1

Try:

$filter('translate')('ShowFullMonth')

Like in your view - you have to pass it a string ;)

Answer 2

Angular filter functions do not expect the arguments to be wrapped up in an Array - just pass them normally.

$filter('translate')('ShowFullMonth')

If your filter function took multiple arguments, you'd just pass them normally too:

$filter('myFilter')(param1, param2, param3)

Answer 3

You should execute $filter like this:

$filter('translate')('ShowFullMonth')

instead of:

$filter('translate')(['ShowFullMonth'])

Because in your view it's a string not an array object
