Object limitTo filter not native ot AngularJS?

[RavenHursT]

Why isn't something like this native to AngularJS? Seems rather simple to implement...

Filter:

.filter('objLimitTo', [function(){
        return function(obj, limit){
            var keys = Object.keys(obj);
            if(keys.length < 1){
                return [];
            }

            var ret = new Object,
                count = 0;

            angular.forEach(keys, function(key, arrayIndex){
                console.log(key);
                if(count >= limit){
                    return false;
                }
                ret[key] = obj[key];
                count++;
            });

            return ret;
        };
    }])

Markup:

<ul>
<li ng-repeat="(k, v) in items | objLimitTo:4">{{ v}} </l>
</li>

I guess there are plenty of useful filters that are not part of the core as the framework can't come with all the possible utilities. This is why we've got great community that creates awesome stuff and advertises it on http://ngmodules.org/

Regarding a filter you are bringing up here, I would say that the main reason is that keys enumeration order is not guaranteed (and is different) across different browsers. So you would get different behaviour of the same code + data in different browsers and this would be unpleasant surprise...
