fix(filterFilter): correctly handle deep expression objects #9757

gkalpak · 2014-10-23T10:19:15Z

Previously, trying to use a deep expression object (i.e. an object whose properties can be objects themselves) did not work correctly. This commit refactors filterFilter, making it simpler and adding support for filtering collections of arbitrarily deep objects.

Closes #9698

_{BTW, I used "non-IE8" stuff (like `Array.prototype.some/every`) for the sake of conciseness and clarity, so this is not directly back-portable to 1.2.x. If there is interest, I can create a IE8 compatible version (using `for-loops` etc).}

gkalpak · 2014-10-23T10:28:20Z

Some considerations:

Should we mention in the docs that deep objects can be also filtered (or is it redundant) ?
Should there be inline comments at certain parts explaining that whats and the whys (or is it clear enough).
None of the previous test-cases broke. Yet, since the filter was heavily refactored, one can't be really sure that all corner-cases are handled the same as before.
(The documented stuff does seem to still work as expected, so this shouldn't introduce a breaking change (in the "formal" sense).)

Narretz · 2014-10-23T17:46:02Z

Great work!
So the fix is for with deep expression objects with multiple properties and the feat is that these objects can be nested arbitrarily deep?

I don't want to piggyback on the PR or anything, but can you check if this PR can be incorporated in your fix? It seems like a good fit. #6623

We could also check other filter issues for possible tests to add.

stop removing these =)

So yeah, I would just ditch the first commit --- 2 lines between specs are nice, and used in most of the test suite --- removing them just makes it more inconsistent. As for the minor whitespace changes, those should be picked up by jscs once we get it doing that, but who really cares if we're honest?

gkalpak · 2014-10-23T19:55:06Z

@caitp:
I am totally OK with two lines between specs as I am with one line.
What I can't stand is inconsistency (2 lines between some specs and 1 line between others). I just removed 3 double-lines to make it consistent across the test-suite (which mostly uses 1 line between specs).

I also removed empty new lines before a closing }); in 3 cases to make it consistent across the test-suite (which also mostly doesn't have empty lines before closing });).

Anyway, those changes (along with a few white-space changes, to make things consistent and inline with the new jscs rules) are placed in a separate commit, so they can't be ignored (only...you know...they really shouldn't, because consistency is a good thing).
If it makes you feel better, I can add double-lines between all specs in the test-suite :)

caitp · 2014-10-23T19:57:42Z

these are test cases, consistency for minor things like that doesn't matter aw hole lot, so long as they are at least following the formal style guidelines imo. I suggest opening a separate bug for fixing style nits unrelated to this functional change so that it's easier to review (less gunk in the diff)

gkalpak · 2014-10-23T20:18:04Z

@caitp: Hm...I thought putting those changes in a separate commit was enough, but it apparently isn't. I'll remove the commit and put it in a separate PR then.

@Narretz: I am not sure if it's a fix or a feat. It depends on how it was supposed to work. If filterFilter was supposed to handle deep expressions (and filter deep objects) then it's a fix. If it wasn't supposed to support that in the first place then it's a feat :)
Will look into other filterFilter related issues, but I can't be sure which ones you want to get in and which you don't. If you can point out PRs that should get merged, I will gladly "adapt" them to feet the refactored filterFilter.

Regarding #6623:
It sure could be incorporated, but I want to point out that:
Right now, it is possible to use {somekey: undefined} to match objects that do not have a somekey property (or have it with a value of undefined). If we merge #6623 this will be only possible using a custom function. So, we might be removing a feature :)
But, if you think it should get merged, I am totally OK with that as well.

caitp · 2014-10-24T18:52:57Z

@gkalpak you probably need to rebase now that the other part is merged. yeah you do

Narretz · 2014-10-24T20:29:55Z

@gkalpak Regarding #6623; didn't think about that, good point. Leave it as is. :)

So I know I threatened to land this a few weeks ago --- I think we want this, but it looks like some stuff has been added since, and it's really hard to keep track of this diff u_u

Generally I trust @gkalpak's judgement though, so it's probably good. @petebacondarwin can we land this today?

petebacondarwin · 2014-12-02T18:43:42Z

It's a big diff but I like that there are only additions in the test file and this is not the most central part of Angular. Let's get this in.

caitp · 2014-12-02T18:51:37Z

Alright *fingers crossed no regressions*
