Write a custom filter

app.filter("statusFilter",function(){
    return function(input,uppercase){
        var out = [];
        for(var i=0 ; i<input.length; i++){
            if(input[i].status=='issued'||input[i].status=='masked'){
                out.push(input[i]);
            }
        }
        return out;
    }
});

HTML:

<tr ng-repeat="post in filterPostList | statusFilter>

No need to write filters

Just write a function

$scope.statusFilter = function(item){
    return item.status == 'issued' || item.status == 'masked';
}

<tr ng-repeat="post in filterPostList | filter: statusFilter">

Suddenly realized that I answered a question with a long history. . . .

Another way of thinking. No need to write filters or functions.
