I have a large JSON object where I can access the the value I want like so:

$scope.customers[1][data]["DisplayName"];

However, that references the DisplayName of only one object.

Is there an easy way to return all DisplayName properties from the entire collection?

i.e.

$scope.customers[*][data]["DisplayName"];

Or is the only way to do this by creating a new JSON object by looping through the original?

• 1 Looping/filtering is the only way. You may find helper methods or modules that simplify it, but in the end they're all going to loop over it. – Kevin B Commented Dec 8, 2014 at 17:57
• Is there a filter available in Angular that can do this? – Raphael Rafatpanah Commented Dec 8, 2014 at 18:00
• Yeah, `ng-repeat will do that for you. – Zack Huber Commented Dec 8, 2014 at 18:01
• 3 @RaphaelRafatpanah [].map would likely be easier to implement than any filter angular has. var displayNames = $scope.customers.map(function (d) {return d[data]["DisplayName"];}); – Kevin B Commented Dec 8, 2014 at 18:03

You can use map() function of Array. It applies the callback function to each element of array and produces new array:

[1,2,3].map(function(num) { return num * num }); // returns [1, 4, 9]

In your case you can use:

$scope.customers.map(function(element) { return element[data]["DisplayName"]; } );
