angularjs dataTables format number with spaces

Question

I have get my number field value from firebase and inject into the table like this:

<td><label>{{obj.mynumber}}</label></td>

mynumber values are like this:

10 000
2 000
10
250 000 000

when I sort the column, it sorts it based on the digits until the first space, which is wrong. So i need to reformat it as a number and remove the spaces. How to achieve this?

Answer 1

Just create a dedicated filter :

angular.module('filters.stringUtils', [])

.filter('removeSpaces', [function() {
    return function(string) {
        if (!angular.isString(string)) {
            return string;
        }
        return string.replace(/[\s]/g, '');
    };
}])

and call it like :

<td><label>{{obj.mynumber.toString() | removeSpaces}}</label></td>
