Using ng-repeat and filter, how to tell which items are visible?

Question

I have an array of objects that I\'m displaying in my Angular app using ng-repeat. I\'m filtering out items using filter and the value of a search

Answer 1

Angular filters create a new array. So in order to perform an action on the filtered items you're going to have to capture the new array.

Something like:

$scope.toggleAll() {
  var filteredItems = $filter('filter')($scope.items, $scope.searchValue);
  for(var i in filteredItems) {
    ...
  }
}

If you don't want to filter twice you'll have to filter the array yourself every time searchValue changes and ng-repeat over that filtered array, ng-change is useful in that case.
