How to use a filter in a controller?

Inject $filter to your controller

function myCtrl($scope, $filter)
{
}

Then wherever you want to use that filter, just use it like this:

$filter('filtername');

If you want to pass arguments to that filter, do it using separate parentheses:

function myCtrl($scope, $filter)
{
    $filter('filtername')(arg1,arg2);
}

Where arg1 is the array you want to filter on and arg2 is the object used to filter.
