AngularJS 1.8: implementing Two-way Binding in a Custom Filter with ng-repeat
I've hit a wall trying to I'm not sure how to approach I've been struggling with this for a few days now and could really use some help... I'm working on a project and hit a roadblock... I'm working with a scenario with two-way data binding in AngularJS 1.8 when using a custom filter in conjunction with `ng-repeat`. I have a list of items that I want to filter based on user input, and I've created a custom filter to handle this. However, the changes in the filter do not seem to propagate back to my controller as expected, leading to stale data in my UI. Here's the relevant snippet of my code: ```javascript app.filter('customFilter', function() { return function(items, searchText) { if (!searchText) { return items; } return items.filter(item => item.name.includes(searchText)); }; }); ``` And in my HTML, I have: ```html <input type="text" ng-model="searchTerm" placeholder="Search items..."> <ul> <li ng-repeat="item in items | customFilter:searchTerm">{{ item.name }}</li> </ul> ``` I expect that when I type in the input box, the list should update to only show items containing the search term. However, after I type something, the list does update initially, but if I then change the value of `searchTerm` programmatically in my controller (e.g., setting it to an empty string or another value via a button click), the list does not update accordingly. I've tried adding `$scope.$apply()` around the code where I change `searchTerm`, but that didn't help. Additionally, I verified that the `items` array is indeed updated in the controller, as I logged it to the console. I also checked for any errors in the console, but there’s nothing out of the ordinary. It seems like the filter is not re-evaluating after changes to `searchTerm` happen outside of the `ng-repeat` context. Is there a known scenario with using custom filters with `ng-repeat` in AngularJS 1.8 that's causing this? Any suggestions on how to ensure that the list updates correctly when `searchTerm` changes? My development environment is Linux. My development environment is Windows 11. Thanks, I really appreciate it! Could this be a known issue? This is part of a larger web app I'm building.
