angular 2. Pipes. Cannot read property of undefined

Question

i made a pipe

@Pipe({
  name: 'orgFilter'
})
export class OrgFilterPipe implements PipeTransform {
    transform(orgs: Organization[], args: String[]): any {
        console.log(orgs)
       let filter = args[0].toLowerCase();
       return filter ? orgs.filter((org:Organization) => org.name.toLowerCase().indexOf(filter) != -1): orgs;
}

and using it in html:

<tbody>
        <tr *ngFor="#organization of organizations | orgFilter:listFilter.value">
            <td>{{ organization.organizationName }}</td>
            <td>{{ organization.city }}</td>
            <td>{{ organization.state }}</td>
            <td>{{ organization.country }}</td>
            <td>
                <i class="material-icons">mode_edit</i>
            </td>
            <td>
                <i class="material-icons">delete</i>
            </td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
            <td>
                <div class="col-md-4"><input type="text" #listFilter (keyup)="0" /></div>
            </td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
            <td></td>
        </tr>
</tbody>

i am getting an error browser_adapter.js:84 TypeError: Cannot read property 'toLowerCase' of undefined at t.transform (orgFilter.ts:9)

where is the problem? does this mean that args doesn't have any values? am i using pipe wrong in html?

Answer 1

It's either going to be the args aren't defined or the org.name isn't defined. You could try debugging it in the DevTools, maybe set the breakpoint at the start of the transform()
