How to get the length of the filtered resultant array in angular4?

I have an array of objects which i am trying to filter with the search value

component ts

filterArray = [
    {'id': 1, 'name': 'ABC', 'type': 'IT'},
    {'id': 2, 'name': 'XYZ', 'type': 'Tech'},
    {'id': 3, 'name': 'LMN', 'type': 'IT'},
    {'id': 4, 'name': 'PQR', 'type': 'Software'},
    {'id': 5, 'name': 'JKL', 'type': 'hardware'},
    {'id': 5, 'name': 'EFG', 'type': 'hardware'}
  ];

 @ViewChildren('filterRef') filtedItems;

custom pipe

import { Pipe, PipeTransform } from '@angular/core';

@Pipe({
  name: 'filter'
})
export class FilterPipe implements PipeTransform {

  transform(value: any, args?: any): any {
    if (value && args) {
      const arr = value.filter((e: any) => e.type.toLowerCase() === args.toLowerCase());
      if (arr.length > 0) {
        return arr;
      } else {
        return [];
      }
    }
    return value;
  }

}

If filtering should be done with the pipe, the only possibility is to do that in a surrounding context:

<ng-container *ngIf="filterArray | filter: search as result">
    <ul *ngFor="let item of result" #filterRef>
        <li>{{item.name}}</li>
    </ul>
    <p>{{result?.length}}</p>
</ng-container>
