I am having an issue with AngularJS filtering my products list. I have done a few console.log queries on my variables and all seem fine. The problem is that the view does not update to show the filtered products.
Filtering works perfectly fine when you enter the search text in the input box but it does not work when clicking on the Category menu items.
I would like to filter the product list by category when the user clicks on the menu item.
Please see my code below and any help or advice is greatly appreciated.
My app.js
myApp.controller('StoreController', function($scope, $filter, storeFactory, cartFactory) {
$scope.cartTotal = 0;
$scope.cartItems = [];
$scope.categories = [];
$scope.counted = 0;
$scope.filteredProducts = {};
//get the products
storeFactory.getProducts(function(results) {
$scope.products = results.products;
$scope.counted = $scope.products.length;
$scope.filteredProducts = results.products;
});
$scope.$watch("search", function(query){
if($scope.filteredProducts.length) {
$scope.filteredProducts = $filter("filter")($scope.products, query);
$scope.counted = $scope.filteredProducts.length;
}
});
$scope.filterProductsByCategory = function(categoryName){
console.log('category filter');
/*$scope.products.forEach(function(o,i){
console.log('filter');
if( o.category_id !== categoryId ){
$scope.filteredProducts.splice(i,1);
console.log('removing');
console.log(o);
}
});*/
$scope.filteredProducts = $filter("filter")($scope.filteredProducts, categoryName);
console.info('the filtered items');
console.log($scope.filteredProducts);
$scope.counted = $scope.filteredProducts.length;
}
$scope.getCategories = function(){
storeFactory.getCategories(function(results){
$scope.categories = results.rows;
});
}
$scope.getCategories();
});

UPDATE : I removed the extra controller reference and wrapped everything in one div.
<div ng-controller="StoreController">
<!-- the sidebar product menu -->
<div class="block-content collapse in">
<div class="daily" ng-repeat="category in categories | orderBy:'name'">
<div class="accordion-group">
<div ng-click="filterProductsByCategory(category.category_name)" class="accordion-toggle collapsed">{{category.category_name}}</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
<!-- Load store items start -->
<div class="label">Showing {{counted}} Product(s)</div>
<div class="row" ng-repeat="product in filteredProducts | orderBy:'product_name'" style="margin-left: 0px; width: 550px;">
<hr></hr>
<div class="span1" style="width: 120px;">
