Stand Alone filter always return "No Data Found" on the first click

[devilking15292]

I have been facing this bug,
if i give a stand-alone filter like this

this.source.setFilter([
{
field: 'amount',
search: dateSearch,
filter: (value, dateSearch)=>{
return new Date(value) >= dateSearch;
}
], true, true)

always return's empty (No Data Found) in the grid,
after deep debugging found the root cause in the file,

ng2-smart-table/src/ng2-smart-table/components/filter/filter-default.ts

onFilter(query: string) {
this.source.addFilter({
field: this.column.id,
search: query,
filter: this.column.getFilterFunction(),
});
}

this particular line
returns the filter from the filterFunction in the DataModel which we define to map the data.

which is not defined so my custom function is not executing, instead it runs the normal search and return's zero elements the data Array, saying

"No Data Found"

in the front-end.

so as a workaround, I have set the filter function this in the DataModel itself.
