Plunkr Case (Bug Reports)

Current behavior
When changing a dropdown or multiselect filter value there is no change event emitted.

Expected behavior
Emit change event when dropdown or multiselect filter value is changed.

What is the motivation / use case for changing the behavior?
Being able to listen for filter change events will allow dynamic changing of options, this is helpful for large data sets that are paginated.

• Angular version: 5.X
  11

• PrimeNG version: 5.X
  11

I came here to report this very thing. @dmagill89. I figured out that the FORM element's onChange is triggered when selecting an option after filtering. So just wire up the <form (onChange)=""> to the same method as the dropdowns onChange and things will work.

This should be fixed, I think, but this is a easy work around. It should, at the very least, be in the documentation.

I work for a large company and am using angular 8.0.0 and primeng 8.0.0 so I wont be seeing an update even if it is fixed in primeng, unfortunately. My work around seems to work perfectly fine.
