Filtering ng-options

Question

Prior to updating Angular to 1.3, I was using Angular 1.2.

I was filtering my list of categories using this filter. What it does is remove a category that is a duplicate of what is passed in (me).

app.filter('CategorySelectFilter', function() {
    return function(cats, me) {
        var filteredCats = angular.copy(cats);
        for (var index in filteredCats) {
            if (me.id == filteredCats[index].id) {
                filteredCats.splice(index, 1);
            }
        }
        return filteredCats;
    };
});

Using this in my HTML, everything worked dandy.

ng-options="c as c.name for cat in filtered = (cats | CategorySelectFilter: cat) track by cat.id"

After updating to Angular 1.3, I started getting Infdig errors from this. I do not know what is happening.

It seems to work fine in the Plnkr code, but still getting Infdig errors from the console. Try comparing the code from 1.2.13 and 1.3.13 of AngularJS.

1.3.13 throws a bunch of infdig errors.

This answer provides some cool filters to look at . If you are doing a lot of filtering maybe its easy enough to import those libs.

I created a fiddle to solve your issue.

or edited your plunker http://plnkr.co/edit/AI1O9Z?p=preview

this is how to use it.

 ng-repeat="cat in cats | catFilter:'id' "

and the filter.

app.filter('catFilter', function() {
    return function(cats, key ) {
        return cats.filter( function(elem, index, array ) { 
            return ( array.map(function(item){return item[key];}).indexOf(elem[key]) === index );
        });

    };
});
