How to filter results on checkboxes (array) in Vue

Time:01-03

I cannot display results for news articles that have more than one tag/checkbox assigned to them in Vue 2. My results do display correctly if I check a single tag/checkbox. What might I be doing incorrectly here?

var tagData = [
    {
        id: 1,
        title: "Internal"
    },
    {
        id: 2,
        title: "Industry"
    },
    {
        id: 3,
        title: "Company"
    }
];

var articleData = [
    {
        id: 1,
        pagetitle: "Card title that wraps to a new line",
        image: "https://via.placeholder.com/500x250/171717/222222?text=500x250",
        tags: [
            "Internal",
            "Industry",
            "Company",
        ],
        content: "This is a longer card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.",
        alias: "/news-article-1",
        published: 1672668835
    },
    {
        id: 2,
        pagetitle: "Card title",
        image: "https://via.placeholder.com/500x250/171717/222222?text=500x250",
        tags: [
            "Company",
        ],
        content: "This card has supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.",
        alias: "/news-article-2",
        published: 1672668835
    },
    {
        id: 3,
        pagetitle: "Card with no image",
        image: "",
        tags: [
            "Internal",
            "Company",
        ],
        content: "This is another card with title and supporting text below. This card has some additional content to make it slightly taller overall.",
        alias: "/news-article-3",
        published: 1672668835
    },
    {
        id: 4,
        pagetitle: "Yet another article",
        image: "",
        tags: [
            "Industry"
        ],
        content: "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua. Ut enim ad minim veniam, quis nostrud exercitation ullamco laboris nisi ut aliquip ex ea commodo consequat.",
        alias: "/news-article-4",
        published: 1672668835
    },
];

var vm = new Vue({
    el: "#app",
    data: {
        articles: articleData,
        search: '',
        tags: tagData,
        checkedTags: []
    },
    computed: {
        searchArticles: function searchArticles() {
            var result = this.articles.filter(function (article) {
                // articles can have more than one tag/category assigned
                //if any checkboxes have been checked...
                if(this.checkedTags.length) {
                    return article.tags.some(tag => tag.includes(this.checkedTags)) && (article.pagetitle.toLowerCase().match(this.search.toLowerCase()) || article.content.toLowerCase().match(this.search.toLowerCase()) )
                } else {
                    return article.pagetitle.toLowerCase().match(this.search.toLowerCase()) || article.content.toLowerCase().match(this.search.toLowerCase())   
                }
            }, this);
            return result;
        }
    }
});

checkedTags contains an array. For example: ["Internal", "Industry"] I've tried variations of .some and .every, but clearly my logic isn't correct.

CodePudding user response:

You have to change your Tag check from this:

article.tags.some(tag => tag.includes(this.checkedTags))

to this:

this.checkedTags.every( tag => article.tags.includes(tag))

You have to check that all checked tags are present for the article.

Your check .some(tag => tag.includes is wrong, since you apply includes to one tag item. It should be otherwise. includes should be applied to an array.

tags.includes(tag), but not tag.includes(tags)

tag.includes(tags) will be always false if tags.length > 1

Here is the working playground.

var tagData = [
    {
        id: 1,
        title: "Internal"
    },
    {
        id: 2,
        title: "Industry"
    },
    {
        id: 3,
        title: "Company"
    }
];

var articleData = [
    {
        id: 1,
        pagetitle: "Card title that wraps to a new line",
        image: "https://via.placeholder.com/500x250/171717/222222?text=500x250",
        tags: [
            "Internal",
            "Industry",
            "Company",
        ],
        content: "This is a longer card with supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content. This content is a little bit longer.",
        alias: "/news-article-1",
        published: 1672668835
    },
    {
        id: 2,
        pagetitle: "Card title",
        image: "https://via.placeholder.com/500x250/171717/222222?text=500x250",
        tags: [
            "Company",
        ],
        content: "This card has supporting text below as a natural lead-in to additional content.",
        alias: "/news-article-2",
        published: 1672668835
    },
    {
        id: 3,
        pagetitle: "Card with no image",
        image: "",
        tags: [
            "Internal",
            "Company",
        ],
