this.items = [1, 2, 3, 4];

<li *ngFor="let item of items | diff: [[1, 2]]"> <-- Array: [3, 4] -->

flatten

Flattens nested array, passing shallow will mean it will only be flattened a single level Api: array | flatten: [shallow|optional]

this.items = [1,2,3,[4,5,6,[7,8,9],[10,11,12,13,[14],[15],[16, [17]]]]];

<-- Array: [1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,13,14,15,16,17] -->

initial

Slicing off the end of the array by n elements Api: array | initial: n

this.items = [first, second, third];

<li *ngFor="let item of items | initial: 1"> <-- Array: [first, second] -->

tail

this.items = [first, second, third];

<li *ngFor="let item of items | tail: 1"> <-- Array: [second, third] -->

intersection

Returns the intersections of an arrays Api: array | intersection: [ARRAY]: [ARRAY]: ... : [ARRAY]

unique

Removes duplicates from array Api: array | unique

this.items = [1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3];
