How to show a specific object in object array (Angular 5, TypeScript)

I have a data provider in Angular 5.

export class DataProvider {
  location: any;

  private locations: any[] = [
    {
      "name": "restaurant",
      "location": "downtown",
      "category": "restaurant",
      "id": "1"
    },

    {
      "name": "law firm",
      "location": "center city",
      "category": "office",
      "id": "2"
    },

    {
      "name": "public library",
      "location": "suburb",
      "category": "library",
      "id": "3"
    } ]

and here's my HTML file. 

<div *ngFor="let location of locations">
   <h1></h1>
    <h2></h2>
</div>

In this scenario, how can I load a specific object (item) in data array with certain attributes? For instance, If I want to load an object with "category" :"restaurant", what should I do on my HTML file? so the two others should not show up. I just want to load one out of three by using this specific attribute.

Thanks.

You need to access the attribute. You can use the following example

<div *ngFor="let location of locations">
   <h1>{{location.name}}</h1>
    <h2>{{location.category}}</h2>
</div>

EDIT

To filter depending on a category:

locationsFiltered = this.locations.filter(location =>location.category=="restaurant");

Now to make this example practical I will create a method to do it

filter(category : string) : any[] {
   return this.locations.filter(location =>location.category==category);
}

then in html

<div *ngFor="let location of locationsFiltered">
   <h1>{{location.name}}</h1>
    <h2>{{location.category}}</h2>
</div>
