angularjs - ng-repeat | filter, How do I use the new this.$index or key from JavaScript -

when filter ng-repeat, this.$index , key both change reflect objects position in filtered array.

the problem see unfiltered array javascript this.$index , key giving unexpected result.

html:

<section ng-repeat="( key, place ) in places | filter: ({ name : placename })" >  <button ng-click='myfunc( this.$index )'>pick {{place.name}}</button> <!-- same issue key --> <section> 

javascript:

myfunc(key){ console.log( $scope.places[key] );  }  

i can loop on array , find $id or own identifier seems wasteful when need index can pass on function looking @ unfiltered array.

thanks.

instead of passing in index, pass in actual object:

<section ng-repeat="( key, place ) in places | filter: ({ name : placename })" >  <button ng-click='myfunc( place )'>pick {{place.name}}</button>  <!-- same issue key --> <section> 

then in javascript

$scope.myfunc(place){     console.log( place );  } 

this make testing myfunc method easier since supplying object in acting upon.
