When creating a Pipe to filter data, I often use the datatype any, allowing for flexibility with types. However, I have some questions regarding this approach:
- Is it considered a best practice?
- Does it impact performance when handling large amounts of data?
- Does it affect application data in terms of variable size?
For instance, consider this example Pipe:
import {Pipe , PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';
@Pipe({
name:'textFilter'
})
export class TextFilter implements PipeTransform{
transform(data:any,term:any):any{
if(term===undefined) return data;
return data.filter(function (da:any) {
return da.title.toLowerCase().includes(term.toLowerCase());
})
}
}
In this code snippet, any is used to prevent type mismatches. Is this the recommended approach?
