I am currently working on an ionic2 project. I am getting data in an array, and I have to show it as a contact list style with side alphabet navigation. Please refer the image attached.
The data structure is somewhat like this
[
{"id":1,"first_name":"Harcourt"},
{"id":2,"first_name":"Cart"},
{"id":3,"first_name":"Laina"},
{"id":4,"first_name":"Deborah"},
{"id":5,"first_name":"Kendricks"}
]
I am able to sort array by first_name using lodash. But I could not figure out how to show that sorted array using *ngFor in angular2, so that every time alphabet changes (from A -> B eg), the first element can be given a unique id, so that when user tap on side bar alphabet I can scroll to that element.
Please help. Should I create some nested array for this?
You can try something like this :
let input = [ { id: 2, first_name: "Cart" }, { id: 4, first_name: "Deborah" }, { id: 6, first_name: "Dobby" }, { id: 1, first_name: "Harcourt" }, { id: 5, first_name: "Kendricks" }, { id: 6, first_name: "Lenny" }, { id: 3, first_name: "Laina" } ], people = [] let firstLetter = "" for(let i in input) { let currentLetter = input[i].first_name[0].toUpperCase() if(currentLetter!=firstLetter) { firstLetter = ""+currentLetter people.push({ index : firstLetter}) } people.push(input[i]) } console.log(people)
Then in your template, conditionally display either a name or an index :
<li *ngFor="let p of people">
<div *ngIf="p.first_name; else listIndex">
{{p.firstName}}
</div>
<ng-template #listIndex>
<div class="list-index">
{{p.index}}
</div>
</ng-template>
<li>
link this:
let input = [
{ id: 1, first_name: "Harcourt" },
{ id: 2, first_name: "Cart" },
{ id: 3, first_name: "Laina" },
{ id: 4, first_name: "Deborah" },
{ id: 5, first_name: "Kendricks" },
{ id: 6, first_name: "Dobby" },
{ id: 7, first_name: "Lenny" },
];
input.sort(function(a, b) {
var nameA = a.first_name.toUpperCase();
var nameB = b.first_name.toUpperCase();
if(nameA < nameB) {
return -1;
}
if(nameA > nameB) {
return 1;
}
return 0;
});
