@description

Angular filters format data for display to the user.

For example, you might have a data object that needs to be formatted according to the locale before
displaying it to the user. You can pass expressions through a chain of filters like this:

        name | uppercase

The expression evaluator simply passes the value of name to
{@link api/ng.filter:uppercase uppercase filter}.
