KeyValue和AutoComplete的角度过滤管道

Question

First of all I want to show countries with this pipe and filter them with inserted characters and I need the ISO codes to show the flags of the countries. The problem is that I want to use a library which has all countries with ISO codes and stuff. This has the key value form.

First of all I export this data to var to be able to use the data.

export var indexedArray: { [key: string]: string } 
countryStuff: Country; //currently not used

countries = [] as Array<string>
filteredCountries: Observable<string[]>;

export interface Country { //currently not used
  [key: string]: string
}

ngOnInit() {
 this.startDate.setFullYear(this.startDate.getFullYear() - 18);
 this.buildForm();

 this.filteredCountries = this.personalForm.controls['country'].valueChanges
   .pipe(
     startWith(''),
     map(value => this._filter(value))
   );

 i18nIsoCountries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json"));
 i18nIsoCountries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/de.json"));

 this.currentLanguage = this.translateService.currentLang;

 indexedArray = i18nIsoCountries.getNames(this.currentLanguage);
 for (let key in indexedArray) {
   let value = indexedArray[key];
   this.countries.push(value);
 }
}

In the html I can use this like this:

  <mat-option *ngFor="let item of countryStuff | keyvalue:keepOriginalOrder" [value]="item.key">
     Key: <b>{{item.key}}</b> and Value: <b>{{item.value}}</b>
  </mat-option>

The normal way I can also use but completly without the key value way and just like the Angular examples say (without the TS logic):

 <mat-option *ngFor="let option of filteredCountries | async" [value]="option">
    <span class="flag-icon flag-icon-de flag-icon-squared"></span>
    {{option}}
 </mat-option>

That just gives me the full country name like Algeria or something.

I have found an idea here https://long2know.com/2017/04/angular-pipes-filtering-on-multiple-keys/ but I couldn't change it for my purposes. That would be even more perfect if I could filter for key and value so maybe "DE" for key and "Ger" for value of Germany. It does not seem to be possible with existing pipes.

Edit on request (filtering):

private _filter(value: string): string[] {
 var filterValue;
 if (value) {
   filterValue = value.toLowerCase();
 } else {
   filterValue = "";
 }
 return this.countries.filter(option => option.toLowerCase().startsWith(filterValue));
}

Also updated the ngOnInit()

I got it working with the i18n library and even flag-icon-css

TypeScript (filter class):

@Pipe({
  name: 'filterLanguages'
})
export class FilterLanguages implements PipeTransform {
  transform(items: any, filter: any, isAnd: boolean): any {
    if (filter && Array.isArray(items)) {
      let filterKeys = Object.keys(filter);
      if (isAnd) {
        return items.filter(item =>
          filterKeys.reduce((memo, keyName) =>
            (memo && new RegExp(filter[keyName], 'gi').test(item[keyName])) || filter[keyName] === "", true));
      } else {
        return items.filter(item => {
          return filterKeys.some((keyName) => {
            return new RegExp(filter[keyName], 'gi').test(item[keyName]) || filter[keyName] === "";
          });
        });
      }
    } else {
      return items;
    }
  }
}

HTML:

<mat-form-field class="field-sizing">
  <input matInput required placeholder="{{ 'REGISTRATION.COUNTRY' | translate }}" name="country"
    id="country" [matAutocomplete]="auto" formControlName="country" [value]="filterText" />
  <mat-autocomplete autoActiveFirstOption #auto="matAutocomplete">
    <mat-option *ngFor="let item of countries | filterLanguages:{ name: filterText, iso: filterText, flagId: filterText } : false" [value]="item.name">
      <span class="flag-icon flag-icon-{{item.flagId}} flag-icon-squared"></span>
      {{ item.name }} - {{ item.iso }}
    </mat-option>
  </mat-autocomplete>
</mat-form-field>

TypeScript (component):

export var countryList: {
  [key: string]: string
}

declare const require;

export class YourComponent implements OnInit {

  countries = [] as Array<any>
  currentLanguage: string;
  filterText: string;

  ngOnInit() {
    i18nIsoCountries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/en.json"));
    i18nIsoCountries.registerLocale(require("i18n-iso-countries/langs/de.json"));

    this.currentLanguage = this.translateService.currentLang;
    countryList = i18nIsoCountries.getNames(this.currentLanguage);

    this.buildForm();
    this.createCountries();

    this.personalForm.controls['country']
      .valueChanges
      .pipe(debounceTime(100))
      .pipe(distinctUntilChanged())
      .subscribe(term => {
        this.filterText = term;
      });
  }

  ngAfterContentChecked() {
    this.cdRef.detectChanges();

    if (this.currentLanguage != this.translateService.currentLang) {
      countryList = i18nIsoCountries.getNames(this.translateService.currentLang);

      this.createCountries();

      this.currentLanguage = this.translateService.currentLang;
      this.personalForm.get('country').updateValueAndValidity();
    }
  }

  createCountries() {
    this.countries = [];
    for (let key in countryList) {
      var countryName: string = countryList[key];
      var isoValue: string = key;
      var isoLowerValue: string = key.toLowerCase();

      this.countries.push({ name: countryName, iso: isoValue, flagId: isoLowerValue })
    }
  }

You need the i18n library and like in my example a formControl.
