How to split a string with angularJS

You may want to wrap that functionality up into a filter, this way you don’t have to put the mySplit function in all of your controllers. For example

angular.module('myModule', [])
    .filter('split', function() {
        return function(input, splitChar, splitIndex) {
            // do some bounds checking here to ensure it has that index
            return input.split(splitChar)[splitIndex];
        }
    });

From here, you can use a filter as you originally intended

{{test | split:',':0}}
{{test | split:',':0}}
