AngularJS – How to structure a custom filter with ng-repeat to return items conditionally

Filters don’t work on individual items in the array, they transform the entire array into another array.

userApp.filter('matchAccessLevel', function() {
  return function( items, userAccessLevel) {
    var filtered = [];
    angular.forEach(items, function(item) {
      if(userAccessLevel >= item.minAccess) {
        filtered.push(item);
      }
    });
    return filtered;
  };
});

**always inspect the arguments to a function. It’s not always obvious what the values are.*
