Multiple filters, same target

[lroggen]

Great jQuery plugin! I'm having a slight issue though. I'm trying to target target the same table rows with two different InstaFilters, one a checkbox and the other a text input field. It works well if I use one or the other but if I try to check a box and enter text, all of the td's in my table row disappear.

Have you seen anything like this before? Can I even use two filters on the same targets?

    $('#task-search').instaFilta({
        scope: '.wrapper',
        targets: 'tr.task',
        markMatches: true
    });

    var instaFilta = $('#user-search').instaFilta({
        scope: '.wrapper',
        targets: 'tr.task'
    });


    var $userCheckboxes = $('.user-checkbox');
    $userCheckboxes.on('change', function() {
        var checkedCategories = [];
        $userCheckboxes.each(function() {
            if ($(this).prop('checked')) {
                checkedCategories.push($(this).val());
            }
        });
        instaFilta.filterCategory(checkedCategories);
    });

Check Box:

Text Input and initial view:

Result of using both at once:

Just to be clear of the expected result: So if you first check a checkbox, then start typing in the search field, the expected behavior is that the filtering process should only be applied to the remaining visible hits, right? So it should be like a filter-on-filter kind of thing? So any filtering process should ever only apply to whatever result is currently remaining.

I have thought about this feature before and I would like to implement it. I don't think you can do it currently. I'm going to have to look into it and get back.

You are correct, the filter would limit everything to the checked item(s) and the search string. If it is not too complex, it would be a great feature!

I am really looking forward to this.

Yes, me too. That's a thing I really can use.

Right, beginning to feel the heat surrounding this issue. 🔥

I assure you all that I am considering this feature. Just not sure about the flow of things. I don't want to break any current functionality either. At the moment, the plugin kinda requires a text field as its main element, but it would be nice if this could be made more flexible.
