Example

Installation

After installing the above dependencies. Install ngx-mat-menu-filter via.

npm i ngx-mat-menu-filter

Once installed you need to import our main module in your application module:

import { NgxMatMenuFilterModule } from "ngx-mat-menu-filter";

@NgModule({
  declarations: [AppComponent, ...],
  imports: [NgxMatMenuFilterModule, ...],
  bootstrap: [AppComponent]
})
export class AppModule {
}

Usage

ngx-mat-menu-filter is designed to work with mat-menu, so you'll need to create a button that will trigger the menu filter. For example:

<button [matMenuTriggerFor]="filterMenu" #filterMenuTrigger="matMenuTrigger">
  <mat-icon fontSet="material-icons-outlined">filter_alt</mat-icon>
  Filter
</button>

<mat-menu #filterMenu="matMenu">
  <ngx-mat-menu-filter
    (click)="$event.stopPropagation()"
    (filterValues)="applyFilters($event)"
    [filters]="defaultFilters"
    [allFilters]="allFilters"
  >
  </ngx-mat-menu-filter>
</mat-menu>

You'll need to create the required properties and method in your ts file i.e: defaultFilters, allFilters and applyFilters Hence, a sample for these would be.

  defaultFilters = [
    { name: 'productName', type: 'field', placeholder: 'Product Name' },
    { name: 'userName', type: 'field', placeholder: 'User Name' },
  ]

  allFilters = [
    { name: 'productName', type: 'field', placeholder: 'Product Name' },
    { name: 'userName', type: 'field', placeholder: 'User Name' },
    { name: 'email', type: 'field', placeholder: 'Email' },
    { name: 'amount', type: 'field', placeholder: 'Amount' },
    { name: 'date', type: 'date', placeholder: 'Date' },
    { name: 'status', data$: of([{ name: 'Pending' }, { name: "Completed" }, { name: "Failed" }]), type: 'select', key: 'name', label: 'name', placeholder: 'Order Status' },
  ]

  applyFilters(filters: any) {
    //filters is an object that returns a key/value pair of your filters.
    console.log(filters)
  }
